Ti
TI ft Eminem Lyrics

Umm, uh what the fuck, what time is it?
Confused and disoriented, TI wakes up not knowing the time and wondering where he parked his car.

Aye, light hit my face sun brought the heat Open my eyes, see my car parked across the street And then it hit, I ain't really slept that long in a week Matter fact I don't even remember falling asleep
TI wakes up and realizes he fell asleep in his car last night due to lack of sleep in the past week.

Atlantic office claimin' J just keep calling the heat Is it an emergency or something you need to talk to me?
TI receives a call from the Atlantic office claiming that J has been calling them repeatedly and urgently. TI wonders if it's an emergency or if J needs to talk to him.

J said, "I thought you needed to talk to me If it's a change made aware I think I outta be You making ultimatums now you don't talk to me You make shit way worse then it outta be" I ain't arguin' on the phone, come talk to me I'll be waitin' on you, dawg at the office, peace
J reaches out to TI saying he thought TI needed to talk to him about a change being made. J accuses TI of making ultimatums and worsening the situation. TI invites J to come talk in person at the office.

Now I'm thinkin' hard as I walk to my house The fuck have I done now, what could he be talkin' 'bout? I been stayin' outta trouble, shit I bin on the couch You were workin' on the album, I was listenin' now
As TI walks home, he thinks about what he could have done to anger J. He reassures himself that he hasn't caused any trouble and has been focused on listening to the album.

Then Doug called, "Ay you spoke to J?" Yeah, is it something I don't know that I was supposed to say? All I know before the hour I awoke today Nigga commin' wit' the realist and he chose today
TI's friend Doug calls and asks him if he spoke to J. TI doesn't know anything he's not supposed to say and mentions J's urgency in talking.

I'm real close to J, I seen ups and downs hit But I ain't never heard him sound the way that he sounded Really caught a nigga by surprise, I was astounded He a real cool dude but why he call me clownin'?
TI is usually close to J and has seen him go through good and bad times, but he's never heard J sound as upset as he does now. TI is surprised and wonders why J is coming at him so strong.

You say'n you don't know bout it? Know bout what? Atlantic records said you called the office and went nuts Makin' death threats, talkin' loud, gettin' buck Man, they said I did what? Folks I'm just gettin' up
TI denies knowing anything about what J is talking about. The Atlantic office claims TI called and made death threats, which TI is hearing for the first time since he just woke up.

Say you waitin' out your deal till you hear it's up Planin' to make away with 20 million bucks You bullshitin' me, right? Is you serious brugh? Yeah, they said you found out the rapper T.I.P wit' us
The Atlantic office tells TI that he's waiting out his deal and plans to leave with $20 million. They also claim TI found out that the rapper T.I.P is signed with them.

I talked to Craig, Jewels and Kais a long time Long story short they said you don lost ya damn mind And I runnin' off deep and across ya damn mind You crossed the thin line, I'm hearin' 'em tell Atlantic
TI finds out that three people he knows have told the Atlantic office that he's lost his mind and crossed a line. TI is surprised and upset that they would make such accusations.

It's so much shit about cha, they don't give a shit about cha Say'n you ain't doin' nothing they couldn't have done without cha You ain't never been hotta, worked a whole lotta years And came up to go way back to the bottom, what?
The Atlantic office has a low opinion of TI and thinks he's not worth much. They believe he hasn't really contributed to anything and could easily be replaced. TI feels hurt and frustrated since he's worked hard for years and now feels like he's back at the bottom.

Man, what the hell is y'all talkin' 'bout? I been in the house all night I don't know nothing 'bout that shit, man I got the album right here, man, send this to 'em
TI tells Doug that he doesn't know anything about what J and the Atlantic office are talking about. He's been at home all night and has the album with him, which he asks Doug to send to them.
