T.I. promises to 'Get Back Up' on a new track with Chris Brown that directly addresses the rapper's recent legal and personal troubles.
"I'm only human, ya'll," T.I. claims on the opening line of the song, in which he apologies to his fans for the probation violation that led to his upcoming 11-month stint behind bars and vows to come back strong.
"No mistake's too great to recover and bounce back," he raps over a Chris Brown vocal loop, summing up the song's message. "My road to redemption has no GPS." Brown seems an appropriate partner for the remorseful track, given his high-profile guilty plea to an assault charge against Rihanna last year.
'Get Back Up' is mostly a humbling mea culpa, though T.I. takes time to blast the haters: "How dare you sit right there and act as if you holier than thou... The Bible say 'let he without sin cast the stone first' / The sinner or the one who judged him, who was wrong first?"
'Get Back Up' could appear on T.I.'s next album 'King Uncaged,' which currently still has no official release date. Tune into AOL Radio's New Hip-Hop First station to hear 'Get back Up.'
