In the song, which also features fellow southern rapper, Big K.R.I.T., T.I officially asserts his return, saying, “Feds want me back behind that wall/it’s the only place that I can’t go.”

In addition to releasing his new track on Friday, T.I. also visited Atlanta radio station V-103, to give his first interview since being released from prison.

“I really don’t owe anyone any explanation,” T.I. said of his prison stint.  “At the end of the day, I got to live my life for my family, for my children, and I’m going to do what’s best for them.“

Here’s to new beginnings for T.I.!
