As of October 2008, T.I. has had nine Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 singles, with 3 of them reaching number 1 ("My Love" by Justin Timberlake on which T.I. was featured, "Whatever You Like," & "Live Your Life" featuring Rihanna).
The Love This Life Songfacts reports that Love This Life, the first official single from T.I.'s eighth album, Trouble Man, was released on April 2, 2012 via YouTube.
T.I. is from Bankhead, Atlanta, Georgia and was raised by his grandparents. T.I. explained the origin of his nickname Rubber Band Man, saying, "We used to wear rubber bands to signify how much money, how much blow we had." He was nicknamed "Tip" after his paternal great-grandfather. Upon signing with Arista Records subsidiary LaFace Records in 2001, he shortened his name to T.I. out of respect for label mate Q-Tip.
T.I. has been in a relationship with former Xscape member Tameka "Tiny" Cottle since 2001. Together, they have two sons: King and Major Harris. He has three other children with ex-girlfriend Lashon Dixon: Domani, Messiah and Deyjah. Overall, T.I. has five children.
T.I. was co-executive producer of B.G.'s upcoming album and making beats for artists like Mariah Carey, Cassidy, Rick Ross, Maino, B.o.B., Yung Joc, Young Dro, and himself. He also executive produced the soundtrack to the film Hustle & Flow and released the collection through his record label.

T.I. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
White Benz double doors, I could change colors though
Blue Ferrari, red Bent, black truck on 24's
Several Chevrolet's on 20 inches maybe more
Used to wish for better days, now I'm wishin' never more
I could go buy anything, stick my dick in every hoe
Grand Hustle on everything, P$C in every store
Swear to God I never change, jealous niggaz never know
T.I.P. ain't never been a lame, jigalow since '84
Blessed with astonishing ability to pull a hoe
Fuck her so, good make her think this dick was full of Moe
Pussy so, good but I love it when she suck it slow
(Oh)
Her motto, you don't swallow what you suckin' for
(Oh)
My motto you ain't ballin' what you hustle for
The VVS's let off such a glow to let these bustas know
Hey! Hey! Hey shawty bounce like this just bounce
Let me see you bounce like this
Hey! Hey! Hey shawty bounce like this just bounce
Tell that bitch to bounce like this
Hey! Hey! Hey shawty bounce like this just bounce
All my nigga bounce like this
Hey! Hey! Hey shawty bounce like this
Just bend it over and make it bounce like this
I give you 30 seconds show me what you got, could you?
Bend it over for me drop it like it's hot, could you?
Wiggle your titties a little lift your top get you to
Bust it open show your panties and your ass for me
Actually I was thinking you, Kim and Daphine
In the back with me, lickin' on the bottom half of me
Answer me first know that sayin' no is blaspheme
Me, I'm pussy pumper, number one you can ask for me
I knew how you danced for me that you had plans for me
Save the conversation get your partner out them pants for me
Damn honey, you'd be a fool if you ran from me
You ain't fuckin' wit another dummy I'm the man honey
I'm tryin' to give it to you 'till it make you stand funny
(Oh)
Throw that pussy right and maybe you can get a grand from me
(Oh, ha)
Picture pimpin' givin' you some damn money
Not a one thin dime but your ass is fine
Hey! Hey! Hey shawty bounce like this just bounce
Let me see you bounce like this
Hey! Hey! Hey shawty bounce like this just bounce
Tell that bitch to bounce like this
Hey! Hey! Hey shawty bounce like this just bounce
All my nigga bounce like this
Hey! Hey! Hey shawty bounce like this
Just bend it over and make it bounce like this
Now shawty bounce with me, bounce with me
Let me see you, see you bounce with me, bounce with me
Now shawty bounce with me, bounce with me
Let me see you, let me bounce with me, bounce with me
Hey shawty, stall if you want to, I ball when I want to
Could fall through and shut down the mall if I want to
I could make your girlfriend choose but I want you
Why you bother me with what you will and you won't do?
Listen shawty, I'm a grown man and you grown too
You can leave with me, I ain't gotta telephone you
All I'm thinking 'bout is me layin' on you
Or vice versa with a lot of ass to hold on to
I got somethin' for that ass to bounce onto
You missin' the chance of a lifetime, why don't you?
Hop off in the drop top, ride through the city lights
Take you where I kick it, let you see what pimpin' living like
Pop one of these then we'll see what you feeling like
Takin' off your clothes, wanna know what it's drilling like
Presidential suite at the very end of the night
Treat you like a freak and give you what was missing in your life
Hey! Hey! Hey shawty bounce like this just bounce
Let me see you bounce like this
Hey! Hey! Hey shawty bounce like this just bounce
Tell that bitch to bounce like this
Hey! Hey! Hey shawty bounce like this just bounce
All my nigga bounce like this
Hey! Hey! Hey shawty bounce like this
Just bend it over and make it bounce like this
Now shawty bounce with me, bounce with me
Let me see you, see you bounce with me, bounce with me
Now shawty bounce with me, bounce with me
Let me see you let me bounce with me, bounce with me
The lyrics to T.I.'s song "Bounce Like This" speak heavily to his success and wealth, as he describes expensive cars and women at his disposal. He reflects on his humble beginnings, but now revels in the ability to buy anything and have sex with whomever he wants. T.I.P. boasts about his talent to charm women, and how good he is at having sex. He emphasizes the importance of women performing oral sex, while reassuring them that he never changes, no matter how much money he has. The chorus instructs the women to bounce their bodies in a sexual way, and he promises to take care of them with money and lavish experiences.
The song can be seen as an expression of T.I.'s hypermasculinity, as he objectifies and dehumanizes the women in his lyrics. He reduces them to mere sexual objects, describing how they should present themselves for his pleasure. The lyrics also promote a hedonistic lifestyle, emphasizing the pursuit of pleasure and money above all else. However, despite the problematic nature of the lyrics, the song's catchy beat and hook make it a popular club banger.
