T.I Complains From Behind Bars: “I’m Sick & Tired”

T.I is clearly not enjoying the latest of his many stints in prison. The rapper, who was recently imprisoned for 11 months for violating parole, says that he is “sick and tired of mother f*cking prison”. Peep his full statement via TMZ:

This experience is truly a pain I have never felt before and that’s saying a lot for a nigga who’s been down locked up as many times as I have. I see this as a real ass whoopin’. The kind you don’t just go back outside to play afterwards. You take ya ass 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 mother f*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.

Even though it’s been a long road, I’m still standing, barely but nevertheless still standing. 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 shit for me!!! 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 mother f*ckin’ shades cause I’m ready to cash my darkest hours in…ASAP!!!

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. And nan one of mine will ever have to feel the cold tight grip of a handcuff or grace the presence of a jail cell if I can help it.

Over my dead body!

So if you can’t respect that you ain’t rocking with my movement then Fuck you dog! I know a bunch of mother f*ckers who are…..

– Love KING

  3. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue November 19, 2010

    @ Annie:

    Exactly. He is the one who was stupid enough to get himself into this predicament less than a whole year after getting out. So he has no one to blame but himself. Don’t wanna do the time, then don’t do the time. Simple as that.

  4. True Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Blue November 19, 2010

    * Don’t wanna do the time, then don’t do the crime.

  5. Tracie November 19, 2010

    I feel you TIP….much love! Keep your head up baby!

  6. Drew November 19, 2010

    I will support his dumb ass unless he gets locked up again after this. What a dumb, pompous s***.

  8. RiRiLoud November 19, 2010

    It’s unfortunate. That’s all I’ve got to say.

  9. Jinx Moneypenny November 19, 2010

    Pity it took him going back in less than a year after the previous stint to get “sick and tired” of being imprisoned.

    Make the most of them 11 months, Clifford.

  10. Nichole November 19, 2010

    How slow can some people be? TI has proven that he isn’t that smart.

    Stay the hell out of trouble.

    “If an hour in the dark is worth a second in the sun then pass me my mother f*ckin’ shades cause I’m ready to cash my darkest hours in…ASAP!!! “…… TI IS A BRILANT LYRICIST

    BUT!!!

    HE DID THIS TO HIMSELF !!!!

  12. UGh November 19, 2010

    I still don’t feel sorry for him

  13. Irish Cream November 19, 2010

    I am so glad he finally came to the realization. Hope this will be his last time seeing those bars.

  14. F*CK A TMZ November 19, 2010

    I’m confused? It was just reported that he was released and he is on restricted probation meaning he cannot leave the state unless its for business etc. So is he in jail or in the A? WTF is really going on?

    Love ya T.I. regardless and will be coping that NO MERCY CD Dec. 7!

  15. the kiddz November 19, 2010

    Then stop treating prison like a freaking trip to DISNEY LAND. Have some pride as a man and take responsibility for YOUR ACTIONS.

  16. likeCAESAR November 19, 2010

    Shut the f*** up Cliff…I’m never buyin another album…You and been hot since Urban Legend anyway.

  17. likeCAESAR November 19, 2010

    aint*

  18. Keesha November 19, 2010

    “I am so glad he finally came to the realization. Hope this will be his last time seeing those bars.”

    I totally agree. I wish some of the people who have left comments on this post would have actually taken the time out to read what he had to say instead of just going by what TGJ wrote. I honestly thought that he had learned his lesson the last time, but, as T.I. even said himself, “My road to redemption has no g.p.s.”

  19. Keesha November 19, 2010

    I mean *what TGJ wrote for the titile*. And if anything, T.I. seems to be mad at himself for making the same mistakes.

  20. Junior in Jamaica November 19, 2010

    I’ve lost a bit of respect for him.

    I expected that after that long stint the other day he’d learn his lesson.

    Sad to say, but I pity him.

  21. mnbvmnb November 19, 2010

    TI wouldn’t have to be tired of prison if he wasn’t so damn stupid.I like buddy but he calls people “haterz” when they speak on how stupid he was to have put himself in his current situation but what else is it!

    BLAH BLAH BLAH…

    Its NOT even WORTH Reading.

    Its like If you hate it so much then why violate your probation?? Thats how we know who TRULY hate Prison, the ones that have only been there ONCE!!!

    & the Nerve of him preaching to little kids, Him doing that is like SUPER HEAD preaching to 10 Y/O girls about how to not grow up to be Whores. TI is the biggest HYPOCRITE I’ve ever seen in my Life, Why not practice what you preach.

    Please, just go ahead & DROP THE SOUP T.i

    ~NEXT ==>>

  25. SparkD November 19, 2010

    Let’s have a pray circle for T.I., get him a prison minister as a mentor, and have authorities put him on “s******” or “mental breakdown” watch.

    I hate to see a person get emotionally low lie this.

  26. Sweetbaba November 19, 2010

    No sympathy stop doing stupid stuff and you will stay out of prison.

  27. MistyMae84 November 19, 2010

    If anyone took the time to read it, he is saying that he’s tired of his self and the mistakes that he made to end back there. He wants to do better and be better.

    Sometimes you gotta read the whole thing before making a snap judgement

  28. daboss8791 November 19, 2010

    It’s crazy, but hell nobody ever went to jail for being smart. Still, much love to you TIP, the crime he committed was more against himself than against society. If anything they couldve given him rehab, or something more lineant, but then maybe this will be the lesson of all lessons for him…

    Don’t waste a privileged life for nonsense that is beneath you, follow that motto, and you wouldn’t been in the orange jumpsuit yet again.

  30. kevin November 19, 2010

    I hear you T.I. I’m sick and tired too….sick and tired of hearing about your a$$ getting locked up and talking about redemption and helping others. Just do your time, jailbird.

  31. DIANNE November 19, 2010

    IF HE CLEANS UP HIS MOUTH, HIS HEART MIGHT FOLLOW. THAT IS THE FIRST STEP.

  32. zania November 19, 2010

    Most of ya’ll condeming this man, but unless you are addicted to drugs , you don’t how hard it is to stop. I have people in my family that been on drugs since they were in their 20’s and their now in their 60’s and still doing drugs, its all about will power. Sometimes you have to hit bottom more than twice to realize that you need help and you can’t do it alone. Disappointing in Tip, yes I was, but he just like my brother who took years to turn his life around and now is doing real good.

  33. GangsterA November 19, 2010

    if you don’t want to got to prison then stop doing that f***** up s*** that you always do hes so stupied now first the feel sorry for me album cover and now this get it togther bro artists this days smdh

  34. Secret Voice November 19, 2010

    No one is condemning Tip but dude was hella stupid! I can understand that he say he has a drug problem and if he doed,he needs help.He’s stupid because:

    a)He KNEW he was on probation.
    b)If you’re gonna be dumb enough to do hard drugs,atleast do it at home,why do it and DRIVE A HIGH PROFILE car and then make a U TURN on a high profile street in L.A.! That’s why he is so damn dumb!

  35. lola November 19, 2010

    T.I. is just full of sh**! He goes to jail like every few years for something so damn stupid! His a** said the exact same sh** when he got outta jail when he released his first major album! If you’re so tired of being in jail, wtf do you do retarded sh** that will get you locked up? What a dumba**! I can’t stand many of these rappers, athletes, and actors because they get spoiled and ungrateful! You have millions of dollars and were chosen out of millions of people to be in the business you’re in, why f**k it up? Do you know how many people would kill to be in your position (money, success, or fame wise)?

  36. ~aMaZiNG.Lee~ November 19, 2010

    Whateva.

    I love T.I., like REALLY love T.I. but there is no way I can feel sorry for ANYONE that’s done the dumb s*** he’s done.

    I’m still purchasing “No Mercy” because the dude is the TRUTH and his albums are always on point.

    But the only people I feel sorry for is his kids. They have to suffer, not having him around for an entire year AGAIN, not being able to celebrate Thanksgiving or Christmas, as well as birthdays. T.I. at least think about your damn kids. GEEZ!

  37. rih~LUV November 19, 2010

    I aint even read this b******* but im sick of his b**** ass… He so f****** fake… He makes all these imspiring songs and s*** n the least he could do is practice what he preach…. I WAS a fan but his music is awful now and on top of that, im not bouta keep supporting a drug-addicted gun hoarder. Im so done wit T.I.

  38. rih~LUV November 19, 2010

    I meann he had already got off by only havin 2 do a day n a year! Bcuz he’s famous, his sentence gets dropped by 12 f’in years!??!?!?!?! The world is headin str8 4 hell

  39. Renae November 19, 2010

    Don’t get mad at no one else for your poor choices. If you’ve been in and out the system for 15 years u should know what u have to do to get ahead. A lot of us did not have fathers growing up, it doesn’t mean we go out and commit stupid acts and blame it on “daddy not being there.” PLEASE! You are blessed when others are homeless and can barely pay their bills, I don’t get you celebs, thinking you are above the law and expecting your peers and fans to feel sorry for you because you make BS choices. You were a man when you and that stupid chick Tiny took the drugs so stop complaining and do your 11 months. Hopefully after this time u will realize your kids are your #1 priority and start making better choices to be around and support them.

  40. gotthatpipe November 19, 2010

    B**** B**** B**** B**** B**** SOME MORE
    YOU”VE BEEN IN JAIL 2WICE IN THE LAST 2 YEARS
    STOP PUTTING YOURSELF THERE?! MAYBE THATS HOW U CAN STAY OUT

  41. antertain November 20, 2010

    He needs a pimp slap like REALLY!!!!!

    Now if this guy was going jail for protecting his family or something like that I could understand, however he just keep putting himself in for foolishness.

    If you sick n tired, CLEAN UP!!

    Simple equation is spend your money on helping yourself rather than on drugs.
