Full Lil Tjay 222 Album Lyrics

222 is New York native Lil Tjay’s third full-length studio album following his April 2021, top five charting, Destined 2 Win. Throughout the project, Tjay is expected to express his feelings regarding his June 2022 shooting.

The album began to be teased in early-2022 following the release of his April 2022, “In My Head.” The single was soon expected to be followed up by Strictly4MyFans, an EP from Tjay, however, its rollout was interrupted after Lil Tjay was shot seven times in June 2022.

On June 22, 2023, Tjay released the album’s first single, “June 22nd,” in which he went in-depth about the night he was shot. On the same day, Tjay announced the album’s official release date:

A year ago today, I almost lost my life but God got other plans 🙏🏾 “June 22nd” out now and new album ‘222’ July 14th! I appreciate y’all for all the support this past year 🫶🏾

The album’s title “222” is a reference to the angel number which refers to focusing on both ones romantic and family relationships. The numbers have a deeper meaning as Tjay was shot, and subsequently almost lost his life, on June 22, 2022, when he was air lifted to the airport at exactly 2:22 AM, therefore, with the title, Tjay suggests that since God has allowed him to live, he wishes to focus on his relationships which would have been severed if he died.
