Tity Boi AKA 2 Chainz is one half of Playaz Circle along with long time friend Dolla Boy. 2 Chainz played basketball at ASU (Alabama State University) in Montgomery, Alabama. Hailing from the Southside of Atlanta, Playaz Circle came together as a compilation in the late 90’s. They released their debut album, and shortly after that, they were introduced to radio DJ Chris Lova Lova AKA Ludacris through mutual friend Lil' Fate. Unfortunately. shortly after that, 2 Chainz was shot and Dolla was incarcerated. After hearing about their misfortune, Ludacris reached out, offering to sign them. DTP began to form, and 2 Chainz was apart of the label and signed to DTP when Dolla Boy was released.
Throughout his career, Epps received speculation that the name Tity Boi was meant to be derogatory towards women, although he repeatedly denied the accusations,in early 2011 he decided to change his stage name to 2 Chainz as he perceived it to be more "family friendly".
We Own It
2 Chainz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You on vacation, we gettin' paid so
We on paycation, I did it for the fam'
It's whatever we had to do, it's just who I am
Yeah, it's the life I chose
Gunshots in the dark, one eye closed
And we got it cooking like a one-eyed stove
You can catch me kissing my girl with both eyes closed
Couldn't slow down so we had to crash it
You used plastic, we 'bout cash
I see some people ahead that we gon' pass yeah!
I never feared death or dying
I only fear never trying
I am whatever I am,
Only God can judge me now
One shot, everything rides on tonight
Even if I've got three strikes, I'mma go for it
This moment, we own it
And I'm not to be played with
Because it can get dangerous
See these people I ride with
This moment, we own it
And the same ones that I ride with,
Be the same ones that I die with
Put it all out on the line with,
If you looking for me you can find Wiz
In the new car or in the crown with
My new broad, that's a fine chick
And the wonder squad, I'm down with (And no way around it)
What you say, tell me what you say
Working hard, reppin' for my dogs, do this everyday,
Takin' off, looking out for all, makin' sure we ball,
Like the mob all you do is call
Catch you if you fall, Young Khalifa
I never feared death or dying
I only fear never trying
I am whatever I am,
Only God can judge me now
One shot, everything rides on tonight
Even if I've got three strikes, I'mma go for it
This moment, we own it
And I'm not to be played with
Because it can get dangerous
See these people I ride with
This moment, we own it
This the biggest day of my life
We got big guns, been graduated from knives
It's the day in the life and I'm ready to ride
Got the spirit, I'm feelin' like a killer inside uh
Financial outbreak, I'm free but I ain't out yet
Ridin' with the plug so I'm close to the outlet
At the red light, rims sittin' off set
I look better on your girl (Than her outfit)
Stuck to the plan, always think that we would stand up, never ran
We the fam' and loyalty never change up
Been down since day one, look at where we came from
Jumpin' out on anybody who try to say somethin' one thing about it
Got a problem, I got the same one
Money rolls, we fold
Plenty clubs we closed
Follow the same code
Never turn our backs, our cars don't even lose control
One shot, everything rides on tonight
Even if I've got three strikes, I'mma go for it
This moment, we own it
And I'm not to be played with
Because it can get dangerous
See these people I ride with
This moment, we own it
This moment we own it
I ride or die for mine
I'm ride or die material
One life to live so here we go
This moment we own it

This the biggest day of my life
We got big guns, been graduated from knives
It's the day in the life, and I'm ready to ride
Got the spirit, I'm feeling like a killer inside
Oh, financial outbreak, I'm free, but I ain't out yet
Ridin' with the plugs, so I'm close to the outlet
At the red light, rims sittin' offset
I look better on your girl (than her outfit)
Stuck to the plan, always said that we would stand up, never ran
We the fam, and loyalty never change up
Been down since day one, look at where we came from
Jumpin' out on anybody who tryin' to say somethin'
One thing about it, got a problem? I got the same one
Money rose, we fold
Playin' in clubs we closed
Follow the same code
Never turn our backs
Our cars don't even lose control
One shot, everything rides on tonight
Even if I got three strikes, I'ma go for it
This moment, we own it
Ayy, I'm not to be played with (I ride or die for mine)
Because it could get dangerous
See these people I ride with (I ride or die for life)
This moment, we own it
