A song record by T.I. has been making its rounds on the Internet and the mixtape circuit where The King Of The South is sounding off on Lashon Dixon, the mother of two of his sons. Obviously recorded last year when he was going through a few child support problems brought up by Dixon, T.I. spits lines like:
“…I’m in a public tug-o-war for dough I struggle for, I owe money for my sons, honey, and nothin’ more/ Do much more than average for my sons, that’s just ignoring facts/You can get off ya A$$ and work, you don’t wanna be Fawkin’ poor, that’s not quite the issue is it? it’s that we don’t Fawk no more/ That’s ‘posed to be you who buyin’ houses pickin’ out the car, that’s ‘posed to be you in benz’s, bentley’s, fendi and dior, that’s your problem just accept it you and I are never more/ And forever we never will just try your best to deal. I rolled around with you for years and I regret it still/ And well since you ain’t let yourself know, you look a mess just let yourself go I guess they say misery love yes, but frankly I’m too blessed to walk around frownin’ lookin’ all depressed…”
Responding to the track “That’s The Way You Want It,” T.I.’s manager and business partner Jason Geter stated:
“’T.I. Live From Forrest City Facility Mixtape’ is in no form or fashion affiliated with T.I. or Grand Hustle. T.I. recorded the track “That’s The Way You Want It” as a means of release while dealing with a very public child support case. The song was never intended to be released in any way. T.I. loves and respects his kids and would never do anything intentionally to disrespect the mothers of any of his children. Artists often record music for sheer expression that is never meant for the public. T.I. and Grand Hustle regret that this song was leaked and would like to apologize to all parties involved. The other songs on the mixtape are tracks recorded when T.I. was a teenager.”
T.I. is currently serving a year and a day prison sentence for weapons charges in the Federal Correctional Complex in Forrest City Arkansas which started at the end of May. Here’s the track below:
