T.I. has revealed that prison is changing his perspectives on life.

The rapper, who is currently serving an 11 month prison sentence for parole violations and further drug possession, is tiring of life in prison.

"This experience is truly a pain I have never felt before and that's saying a lot for a n---a who's been down locked up as many times as I have," T.I. wrote on the Atlanta's spitters website.

He added: "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."

Meanwhile, the rapper is set to release new album 'No Mercy' on December 7 which features collaborations with Eminem.
