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.
Chillin' With My Bitch
T.I. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go get real spiffy mayne, go kick it with my broad, I'ma holla at y'all later
I left the kids at the crib, and the squad in the trap
Now I'm in the two-seater with my broad in my lap
The alpine's beatin', but I'm far away from rappin'
Bumpin' Prince, Sade, or some Marvin Gaye perhaps, I
Put up my blues, put on some tailor-made slacks
Button down, cufflinks, hair cut, no hat
Just felt like gettin' clean and show I know how to act
At Neiman & Marcus, let my girl blow three or four stacks
Gotta forever to cut the food, and damn I'm relaxed
In a real cool mood, no beef, no gats
But then real close by, niggas better know that
I ain't hangin' with my niggas, pullin' no triggas
I'll be back to the trap, but for now
I'm chillin' with my bitch today, I'm chillin' with my bitch today
I ain't hangin' with my potnaz [?], I'm out eatin' lobster
I'm on some grown man shit, ya dig
I'm chillin' with my bitch today, I'm chillin' with my bitch today
This shit look hard, no drama from none of my baby mama's
With my hottie, takin' shots of ??? in the Hummer
Known to kick it like we riches, got Richie and Madonna
Or either Will and Jada, on vacation for the summer
Me and my lil' mama, blowin' big as we wanna
Gotta big sack of some of that shit from California
A bottle of Patron and a six pack of Corona
Dro aroma got the six hot steamin' like a sauna
So I let the top back and I bend another corner
Check into the W, so I can put it on her
Got the suite for a week, but we can stay a lil' longer
I ain't trippin', that's the shit that make relationships stronger
I ain't hangin' with my niggas, pullin' no triggas
I'll be back to the trap, but for now
I'm chillin' with my bitch today, I'm chillin' with my bitch today
I ain't hangin' with my potnaz [?], I'm out eatin' lobster
I'm on some grown man shit, ya dig
I'm chillin' with my bitch today, I'm chillin' with my bitch today
Tonight I'm gon' chill with my lady friend
She the type to keep a nigga open
I'm chillin' with my bitch today
I left the stress in the streets and I'm a long way from home
Put up the vest and the chrome, even through with my phone
My potnaz [partners?] don't wanna be on the shit that I'm on, mayne
Livin' life and kickin' it like a grown man
Sittin' in the sand, drinkin' pina coladas
With a double shot of rum, just chillin' right by the water
No judges, no lawyers, in a whole 'nother world
Just a bottle and this ?? dro, blowin' with my girl
In T.I's song "Chillin' With My Bitch," the rapper takes a break from the grind of the streets to spend some quality time with his lady. He starts off by telling his friends that he's going to change into something spiffy and spend some time with his girl. He then describes how he left his kids at home and his friends in the trap, and got into the car with his girl. He describes how he's listening to some smooth music and how he puts on some tailor-made clothes to show he knows how to act. He then talks about how he's at Neiman & Marcus and how his girl is blowing three or four stacks. He ends the first verse by saying that he's in a cool mood with no beef or gats, but he warns that the threats are still close by.
T.I. continues in the second verse by describing his current situation with his girl. They're taking shots of something, smoking weed from California, and drinking Corona. He's got the music up and the car is steaming from the weed. He then describes how he checks into a suite at the W and has it for a week or maybe longer. He's not stressing about anything, and he's just enjoying the quality time with his girl. He then talks again about how he's not hanging out with his friends or doing anything dangerous. He's just chilling with his Bitch on some grown man shit.

I left my kids at home and my squad at work. Now I'm driving with my girl in my expensive car, listening to some Prince, Sade and Marvin Gaye. I dressed nicely in tailor-made slacks, wing-tip shoes, and cufflinks. I cut my hair and decided not to wear a hat. I took my girl to Neiman & Marcus so she could shop to her heart's content. I'm relaxed and cool, with no problems on my mind. But I'm still aware of potential danger around me.

I'm not hanging with my friends, causing any trouble. I'll be back to my usual life later, but for now, I'm just chilling with my girl. I'm not hanging with my partners, instead I'm treating my lady to lobster. I'm just living as a grown man and enjoying time with my lover.

Everything looks great, with no drama from any of my baby mamas. I'm with my beautiful girl taking shots in my luxury car. We're living life like we're celebrities such as Richie and Madonna or Will and Jada on vacation. My woman and I are smoking weed and drinking big, with a California-sized supply. We bought some Patron and Corona and smoked some very strong weed, causing the car to smell like a sauna. I dropped the top down and took a corner, and checked into the W hotel room. We have the suite for a week, but we might stay a bit longer. Nothing bothers me because of the strong relationship I have with my girlfriend.
Tonight I'm gon' chill with my lady friend
She the type to keep a nigga open
I'm chillin' with my bitch today
Tonight I'm spending time with my lady friend, who has a way of keeping me mesmerized. I'm just hanging out with my girl today.
I left the stress in the streets and I'm a long way from home
Put up the vest and the chrome, even through with my phone

Just a bottle and this ?? dro, blowin' with my girl
I left behind the stress of my usual life in the streets, and now I'm far away from home. I put away my bulletproof vest and gun and even turned off my phone. My partners in crime don't want to be involved in my current lifestyle. I'm just relaxing and living like a grown man, sitting on the beach drinking pina coladas with double rum, and just chilling with my girl with no worries about judges or lawyers. We're in another world, just enjoying a bottle and smoking some unknown type of weed.
