T.I.‘s latest arrest, for violating probation in Los Angeles, has the emcee rethinking his choices and realizing that he’s tired of jail, according to a recent blog he wrote. In a message to fans, Tip explained that being locked up again has been an awakening experience.
“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,” he wrote. “I don’ t know what effect this will have on my life moving forward but I’m certainly sick and mother fucking 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.”
Later, he noted that his new motivation for freedom has become himself.
“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!”
In order to provide some insight into his mind, he also added that this life has been all that he’s known but he hopes to make a change for his children.
“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!”
Stop Doing stupid shit!!
poor fella…
he fucked up big time
hold on i can see the future youre in jail and locked up and there letting you out ohh youre a free man and ohh wait whats this its 2 weeks later and youre going back in there for doing the same dumb shit
This shit right here made me lol.
Chappelle is classic
That’s keepin it real,isn’t it?
Ought to be thankful that after being in and out of the box like he has been, that the gov’t didn’t toss the book at him. For the shit he’s doing my black ass would be locked up for 20 years. Meanwhile, Prodigy is doing a three year stretch for a .22. T.I. will have been in and out of jail TWICE for federal charges and violating his probation by the time Prodigy gets out. Somebody explain….
Very true…cosign.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
We heard this redemption talk in 2009. . . it was premature then. He shouldn’t even talk about it now.
Meanwhile Prodigy has largely faded away from everyone’s radar, and he had a 22 in a glovebox in his car found during a routine traffic stop…not an ARESENAL found as part of a large FEDERAL INVESTIGATION.

The question is, is this dumb fuck tired of breaking the law? If not, enjoy yourself in jail some more, moron.
he’s sick and tired of it because he’s getting older. whether you have money or not, getting in trouble gets old, when you haven’t been institutionalized from a prolonged stay in prison. i’m pretty sure he’ll be smarter and do the right thing next time. i’m rooting for him boss thug. have fun, but you might have to leave the weed and shit alone until probation/parole is done boss thug
I hear what you’re saying…but the thing is, we said this LAST time…he got a very, very big pass because of that cakewalk jail sentence…only to squander it on probation.
Then he does the whole “road to redemption bit,” for profit, no less…only to squander that as well.
I’d embrace humility if I were him…it would do him well at this point. The smart thing for him to do is keep his mouth closed about this rehabilitation talk. It just hasn’t happened yet. Maybe it never will. Who knows.
“i’m sick and tired of jail”
STOP BREAKING THE LAW, ASSHOLE!
i’m sick and tired of your boring raps
You dont like jail nigga? well get used to it you fuckin rat goof.
He tired of getting poked.

Easy solution: STOP BREAKING THE LAW!
i would think he would be sick and tired of doing weed and X in your car with your wife you dried up, 40 year old man. im tired of reading articles of you getting fucken arrested.
Hopefully he learns… this time. If not, I’ve got his newest single right here:
“Little soap droppin, booty hole poppin
little soap droppin, booty hole poppin
little soap droppin, booty hole poppin
My booty in the pen got all these niggas jockin”
Also, this dude got WAY TOO LUCKY or he named some names, because there’s no way in hell he would’ve gotten a ONE YEAR sentence with probation. If I had his record & did that shit, I’d be lookin at 20 years MINIMUM. Meanwhile, this dude, who’s a convicted felon & got caught with automatics & silencers as part of a FEDERAL investigation gets ONE YEAR & PROBATION? That’s some BULLSHIT right there.
Fuck you snitch
He will be back in jail within months of release like always. This reeks of addiction, whether you’re talking drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc. People like him are only at peace behind bars, or when they’ve been caught doing what they do. They don’t feel alive until they’ve pushed the boundaries further than they did the last time. That’s all this demonstrates to me. Sorry Tip. Good luck on the recovery though.
if your gonna make a bone headed comment like that atleast do your research T.I is now where near forthy you moron he’s like in his late 20’s early 30’s nice try with the failed insult tho
Just don’t complain motherfucker. If you didn’t make illegal shit you wouldn’t be in jail, so just shut the fuck up.
