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.

The lyrics of T.I.'s "Do Ya Thang" seem to be inspired by the classic Rod Stewart track, "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" The story goes that a man and a woman meet, unsure of each other's intentions, and spend a night together. The song suggests that the man is nervous and hesitant, while the woman is waiting for him to make a move. Eventually, they end up in his apartment, where he finally confesses his feelings.
The lyrics are pretty straightforward, with the chorus repeating the classic "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" line. The verses add more depth to the story, describing the tension and uncertainty between the two characters. It's clear that they're both interested in each other, but they're also scared of getting hurt or rejected.
The chorus is a bit more assertive, with the woman inviting the man to make a move if he's interested. It's a classic pop song trope, but the lyrics are well-crafted and catchy. Overall, "Do Ya Thang" is a fun, upbeat song that will get stuck in your head after just one listen.

Aye, aye, aye, do ya thang
Aye, do ya thang
Aye, do ya thang
Aye, aye, do ya thang
Aye, aye, aye
Aye, aye!
Fresh out the house
Got the beat on suicide
As I ride up and down
Martin luther king drive (do ya thang)
Standing tall looking down on the block
These boys snitching all day
I look around on the block
I'm in a silver sl
Five pound on the block
Ain't you ever seen a young player
Clown in a drop? (do ya thang)
Ain't nothing to it "g"
Game spit fluidly
Groups of hos pursuing me
As if it's more than two of me
Money my chevy earns
And tuesday it's ocean blue (damn)
Twenty-eight set over you
Ferrari drops and rovers, too (do ya thang)
Hos, set them out
Tv's, I'm a flip them out
Fifty bricks, that ain't shit
Tell them niggaz ship them out
I'm coming down shining rose gold
Feeling like a mack pose
Cadillac with five hos
Make these suckers hate more (do y thang)
Damn right pimp
We do this every night
With the same big faces
Make these lame hos bite
I got that top down
I got them tints down
I got them rims and I'm [unintelligible]
Do ya thang (I'm doing it)
Do ya thang (I'm doing it)
Do ya thang (I'm doing it)
Do ya thang (I'm doing it)
I'm in the hood
In a drop top super sport
Mash let the horses holler
And the porsches follow
Niggaz on they porches holler (do ya thang)
They call me "thunderbelt"
Cut me down to something else
Shawty something else
Hot enough to make the summer melt
Man, I got a fruit-loop chevy
Follow me on 24's
Lucky charm cutlass
Green diamond, purple horse (do ya thang)
Like james bond car
Drizzle is a porn star
The spring we was green
Summer cutlasses are onstar
I got a curly head dirty red
Broad eating lemonheads
Leaning in the lincoln
With a pump by her left leg (do ya thang)
Looking in the tint
Will get your left side bent
Leave you laid out
At lakewood by the lake bitch
Candy coated rims
Chop the streets until they rock up
Muscle car straight bucket
Look how it stands up (do ya thang)
Yeah mane the ride
Look like a fruit drink
It make these hos thirsty
When they see the pineapple paint
Baby 'laq green
Drop coupes stack cream
Earrings in my ear
Look like a baby flat screen (do ya thang)
I'm doing it
My neckpiece green ice
Bubbalicious purple
I'm a grand hustle king
The super-cleanest on the scene
Italian leather match the polo boots
And the wood grain, lame
I show you how to do the do (do ya thang)
Blowing fruit
Same flavor as the candy gloss
In the backseat, got a freak
Pulling her panties off
Errrrr maybe anchor
On a cuban link chain
Diamonds stacked on top of diamonds
Custom made pinky rings (do ya thang)
Fishing hats polo shorts
With the polo man
Wearing blue and tan
In a blue and tan avalanche
Jackers never had a chance
Sat them in the ambulance
They hopped out the van
And start shooting like a cameraman (do ya thang)
Top down
Hit the switch and let it drop down
Passing by the underground
They can hear me underground
Do ya thang
Do ya thang
