The lyrics to T.I.'s "Act III: T.I. Vs T.I.P. The Confrontation" describe a confrontation between T.I. and his alter ego T.I.P., who are both voiced by T.I. In the song, T.I.P. accuses T.I. of acting fake and putting on an image for the cameras. He accuses T.I. of getting their partner killed by not following T.I.P.'s direction, and T.I. responds by saying he was trying to do things his way. T.I.P. then asserts that T.I. needs him, but T.I. argues that he is tired of being in the shadow of T.I.P. The conversation ends with T.I.P. storming off and T.I. returning to the song.
The lyrics provide an interesting look into the relationship between T.I. and his alter ego, T.I.P. It shows the struggle he has between his personal life and his public image, and the tension that can arise between these two sides. The lyrics also touch on the theme of authenticity and how one's image can impact their relationships.
