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 ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know exactly what a motherfucker need
I need a bag 'bout a hundred fifty Gs
You don't want us to make a motherfucking scene
Check, run it, all hundreds
Check, run it, all hundreds
Check, run it, all hundreds (ignant motherfucker please)
Check, run it, all hundreds (you know exactly what a motherfucker need)
No broke shit in my life
'Cause I'm scared that shit could rub off on me
I'm superstitious, no lie
Check, run it
No broke shit in my life, naw
No broke shit in my life
I tell you no lie
I be everywhere you go, guy
Over here every hoe who go by
Say that nigga right there be so fly
Aye doubling up is all I'm about
Man one or two million kept all in the house
I'm calling them shot
Get all of them shots
Hate me till your stomach is all in a knot
Boy I'm already hot, I'm already rich
You better be gone, you lil' bitty bitch
You petty as shit, I'm real as it get
My nigga Cap hear me say hit 'em with dick
Keep the fuck out your lingo!
They be still invitin' 'em and calling it swag
None of them niggas you know
Fucking with me, you know it's all in the bag
Check!
Ign'ant motherfucker please
You know exactly what a motherfucker need
I need a bag 'bout a hundred fifty Gs
You don't want us to make a motherfucking scene
Check, run it, all hundreds
Check, run it, all hundreds
Check, run it, all hundreds (ignant motherfucker please)
Check, run it, all hundreds (you know exactly what a motherfucker need)
Check, run it
No broke shit in my life
'Cause I'm scared that shit could rub off on me
I'm superstitious, no lie
Check, run it
No broke shit in my life, naw
No broke shit in my life
I got a big cheque coming with the commas all on it
Audemar shine like some Armor All don't it
Fresh out of fucks giving in to my opponent
Tell him you can keep your baby mama I don't want it
I'mma cold motherfucker man, better watch what you say
I ain't taking shit from no motherfucker man
Fuck a piece I want the whole motherfucking thing
Can you hear me?
Go tell the promoter hundred racks for an appearance
Go play in another city rap before I'm here
You a fuck nigga
I know you ain't one of us, nigga
She sucking everybody dick and you all in the club with her
Like you all in love with her
Everybody know what's up with her
Ayy, run a hatchet like a flag pole
I've been getting it since Kermit the Frog was a tadpole
Ign'ant motherfucker please
You know exactly what a motherfucker need
I need a bag 'bout a hundred fifty Gs
You don't want us to make a motherfucking scene
Check, run it, all hundreds
Check, run it, all hundreds
Check, run it, all hundreds (ignant motherfucker please)
Check, run it, all hundreds (you know exactly what a motherfucker need)
Check, run it
No broke shit in my life
'Cause I'm scared that shit could rub off on me
I'm superstitious, no lie
Check, run it
No broke shit in my life, naw
No broke shit in my life
The song "Check Run It" by T.I. features the rapper boasting about his wealth and success, with lyrics about the importance of financial stability and his fear of falling into financial ruin. The chorus of the song repeats "Check, run it, all hundreds" as a clear indication that he wants the money in bills of one hundred dollars. He talks about how he needs $150,000 in cash, and warns people not to mess with him or make him angry. He even goes as far as to insult people who are not as financially secure as he is, calling them "ignant motherfuckers" and saying that they don't know what they need.
At the same time, T.I. also addresses his superstitions around money, saying that he believes being around "broke shit" could rub off on him and ruin his success. He also takes a shot at other rappers who he sees as being less authentic than him, claiming that they are using the word "swag" incorrectly to describe their style.
Overall, the song emphasizes the idea that money equals power and success, and that those who have it are better and more important than those who don't. It's a reflection of the materialistic culture that pervades much of hip hop, and can be seen as both a celebration of success and an indictment of the values it represents.
