Yep...that's the line on the inside of T.I.'s CD liner. The CD by the way pretty much enforces that line. Dude is comical to say the least. He says some real shit, but makes light of it at the same time. I like the CD, but there are some cuts I'd lose if I was the A&R. Hey, he does have some joints on there, tho'. The joint with Beenie Man was a good choice for a lead single. Still Ain't Forgave Myself would be a good follow up, but that's kind of anti radio. It's a dope track about comin up hood. What makes this a bit different is the fact he admits he didn't have to come up like that. Choose You is pretty tight because it talks about feelin a woman for real, but being unprepared for the responsibilities of a relationship. I can definately dig that. The funniest song to me was I Can't Be Your Man, which talks about scandalous and materialistic women. The joint was real dog. The adlibs where he was clownin' in the song were as funny as the verses..."Damn shorty, you in the living room more than the furniture...flip a mattress...pay a water bill!...$30, the cable bill ain't nothin but $30, pay that!". I'll try to get a formal review of that joint soon. The name of the LP is I'm Serious, but ole boy needs to be a commentary anchor on the Cris Rock show (once Cris comes to his senses and goes back to doin' his show).

The second verse from “I Can’t Be Your Man”

Don’t it seem like shit be cool for a month and half
All of a sudden you’re frontin’
And showin’ your ass
Complainin’ bout what you got
Shorty look what you had
Before me it was pull out couches and billitin(?) Bags
Now she mad cause she ain’t got a tv in the jag
I tell ya what, that ain’t good enough
Get back on the bus
Give me up the princess cuts and prada stuff
I take you out to eat and you order a bottle of what?
Ungrateful
Wonderin why I’m not faithful
Ballin’s all good but this shit is just wasteful
Want me to pay your bills
Help ya get a bigger crib
Shorty I don’t mind helping but show some initiative
Ain’t brouth nothin’ to the table but hard times and heartache
Do something
Get on ya grind for God’s sake
A reminder
Rewind this message from yo highness
For those that sholey (surely) take my kindness for blindness

I love ya'll to those who supported me...thank ya'll. Kiss my ass to those who didn't~ T.I. in his Outro
