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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, Okay
All I got is trouble, most you niggas know that
Pistol's in the duffle anybody lookin' for 'em
Who want some? (Who want it bitch) who want some? (Who want it ho)
You know anybody? Get it if you want some
Fliest in the city, all I do is ride
Aye, who want some? (who want it bitch) who want some (Who want it ho)
You know anybody get it if you want some
Aye you can meet me with that bullshit
And when you see me holla at me if you want it bitch
Okay aye you can meet me with that bullshit
And when you see me holla at me if you want some nigga
I'm trouble man, stay in trouble, trouble is all I know
A snub nose 44 fitted on my clothes
I love to hustle, trust no one, I'm countin' all my dough
In magic city stacks of 20 big tall I throw
Keep it a 100 with the D 'cause they all my folk
I do a party a 100 G's to the mall I go
The slow flow bought a four floor
Mansion out in Cali got a matte black Rolls Royce
Bullet proof Denali
Better check a nigga head say he better than me
Man if they really wanna beef I leave 'em dead as can be
I'm back up in this bitch with Toomp
O gee, what they wanna do? I shoot a nigga, catch a case
Beat it in a month or two, leggo
All I got is trouble, most you niggas know that
Pistol's in the duffle anybody lookin' for 'em
Who want some? (Who want it bitch) who want some? (Who want it ho)
You know anybody? Get it if you want some
Fliest in the city, all I do is ride
Anybody get it think I'm lyin' nigga die
Aye, who want some? (who want it bitch) who want some (Who want it ho)
You know anybody get it if you want some

And when you see me holla at me if you want it bitch
Okay aye you can meet me with that bullshit
And when you see me holla at me if you want some nigga
Half a million dollar chain, shit so big it's a shame
Millionaire still hang with niggas out there dealin' cocaine
Its king man you know I ain't finna deal with no lame
Still like catch me in Bev Hills sittin' tall in them things
Walkin' out the 'Fina throw them junkies all in my chain

No doubt. Tip is 100

Did it occur to you that T.I. is one of the few left in the game who raps about what they've been bout & what they've lived thru. HipHop is based on the art of storytelling..if you're tired of this story, listen to something else. The fans who have been listening to TI for the last decade such as myself appreciate this "gangsta/playa image" and know that to a certain degree its mainly entertainment for the sake of record sales but Tip has remained true to himself, sagging pants & all.
Vaughn Santiago
T.I. a musical genius. Hands Down.
ITSTRUTH4U
T.I. has NEVER disappointed the rap game. He IS a living legend.
Ryan Means
most underrated beat of all time and TIP kills it of course
Renard Thomas
Big Facts.
Brooke Schaefer
