Incarcerated rapper T.I. has opened up about his time behind bars after serving just over two weeks of his 11-month jail sentence on a probation violation.
According to a message posted by Tip on his website, TrapMuzik.com, jail has been painful to say the least.
“This experience is truly a pain I have never felt before and that’s saying a lot for a n*gga who’s been down locked up as many times as I have,” Tip wrote. “I see this as a real a*s whoopin’. The kind you don’t just go back outside to play afterwards. You take ya a*s to bed and don’t come out of your room until it’s time to go to school…I don’t know what effect this will have on my life moving forward but I’m certainly sick and motherf*cking tired of going to jail, juve, prison, the pen, correctional facilities or whatever else you want to call it…I’d have been better off doing a 5-10 year bid one time than going in time and time again for days, weeks and months for the last 15 years of my life.”
The rapper also promised to better his ways following the jail bid.
“At one time I thought my motivation for continuing was for my fans, my partna Philant, my pops, my grandmama, even for the haters or the people I let down. But nah… I got to do this sh– for me!!!” he said. “I’ll be God damned if I’ve come all this way and made it through so much hell to let it go down like this! F*ck that! If an hour in the dark is worth a second in the sun then pass me my motherf*ckin’ shades cause I’m ready to cash my darkest hours in…ASAP!!!”
According to Tip his lack of a father figure played a part in his actions and over the years he’s been forced to find his manhood elsewhere.
“A lot of folks had fathers or father figures in the house to raise them into manhood. I’m not trying to make any excuses for my situation but my father was a hustler that lived in New York. My uncle was a local big time dope boy turned 10 year federal inmate. My mother and grandparents did the best they could but I found my manhood in the trap and in prison systems. But I found it.”
