Growing up, Boosie was hardened by the many difficult experiences he was put through. His neighborhood, notorious for drugs and violence, was a place feared by the general population. To outsiders, it was a jungle, to residents, it was life. Boosie got very involved in basketball to stay off the streets, and was actually expected to move on to college level basketball.
At 14 years old, Boosie moved in to live with his grandmother after his father was murdered over drugs. Growing up with no father figure and without a strong guiding hand, Boosie turned to drugs and crime. After being expelled from school, Boosie picked up freestyling and began to get serious about his music. Living in the 225, Boosie had no contacts, no real means of exposure. Lil Boosie teamed up with Baton Rouge rapper C-Loc in the late 1990s and made his debut on C-Loc's 5th album, "It's a Gamble", which also featured Three Six Mafia, South Park Mexican, and the rest of the Concentration Camp. This album was a saving grace for C-Loc, as he was slowly losing popularity. Releasing this album put him back in the spotlight, as he had a new young tallented rapper at his side. Baton Rouge couldn't get enough. Shortly afterwards, Boosie released his debut CD, "Youngest of the Camp", which sold over 10,000 units and featured fellow up and coming Baton Rouge rapper Max Minelli, which was exactly what boosie needed to jump start his career. The album spread like wildfire, every hood in Baton Rouge had flyers up for it, everybody was playing it.
After the incarceration, Boosie once again turned back to the streets. Ultimately, his behavior led to him also being incarcerated. At this point, Boosie felt as though he was a failure. However, fate lent Boosie a hand, and Boosie had an opportunity to join an up and coming record label called Trill Entertainment aka Trill Ent which was backed by Pimp-C of UGK. Trill signed Boosie and assisted him in bring his legal issues to an end. Soon after, Boosie and Trill independently released the CD "For my Thugs" under TrillEnt. This release went on to sell over 15,000 copies. Later in the summer of 2003, Boosie co-starred with one of his label-mates, Webbie, on the album "Ghetto Stories" which also went on to sell well over 15,000 copies.
Again paired up with Webbie, Lil Boosie's 2004 release, "Gangsta Musik" is what really gained him popularity. This CD featured the ever popular songs "Swerve" (which later made an appearance in the movie "Hustle and Flow"), "Give Me That", and "Bad Bitch". This was Boosie's first really popular album, actually penetrating the borders of Louisiana and reaching far beyond.
Boosie's talent was now undeniable, and he caught the eye of some Universal Records representatives. In late January of 2005, Boosie signed a deal with Universal, and released the CD "Boosie Bad Azz". This album, backed and promoted by Universal Records, was his strongest yet. Boosie continues to gain popularity at an astonishing rate, and is no stranger to trouble with the law. Already incarcerated for probation violation on drug and gun charges, the Trill Entertainment rapper and two associates (one of them only 17 years old) were indicted on first-degree murder charges by a grand jury on Thursday, June 17, 2010. The men are accused of being involved in the shooting of 35-year-old Terry Boyd in his own house in October. District attorney Hiler Moore stated that the killing seemed to be "over turf" and that if Lil Boosie is convicted the death penalty is not out of the question. The same day, Hatch was also indicted on multiple drug and conspiracy charges for smuggling large amounts of codeine, ecstasy and marijuana into prison with intent to distribute. His girlfriend, a prison guard and a fellow inmate were also charged as co-conspirators. In addition to these charges, prosecutors believe the 27-year-old rapper may have been involved in at least five other slayings.

Nasty ass food thug
Can't sleep on lock down at night and shit thug
I use to love when my kids come visit me but
Tears in my eyes when they leave 'cause I can't leave with em you know
I ain't trying to go through that shit no more
I'm through with that shit for real
I go back to that mother fucker they gone talk bout me like a dog
I don't wanna go away
'Cause I know how these bitches play
I just wanna ball and stay
Don't wanna go grey off in that place
Free well food still on my plate
Don't want no CO's in my face
I don't wanna go away
And miss my people everyday
'Cause if I'm locked up I can't get paid
Or hear none of my records get played
Or put more money in my safe
Have me wishing I woulda stayed
I don't wanna go away
I don't wanna go back
Nigga gone change and I know that
All my little change they gone blow that
No drank back ask em where the 4 at
I know they get grimmey so
Don't wanna hurt momma no
Don't wanna eat slop no more
I wanna eat pappadeaux
Probably hit the booth from Atlantic
Hoes gone jump out the boosie titanic with the quickness
Niggas gone turn into bitches
Michael Jordan gone need pimpin
Who gone answer every time I call (answer that)
Who gone take my lil boy to the mall (answer that)
Can't leave 'cause I'm up in my prime,
But the bigger the harder they fall
Did years behind that wall
Tears behind that wall
Fight, kick, throw shit but I promise you bitch
No fear behind that wall
Rather roll in my Roz
Cut my hair when I want to
Bath when I want to
Ride in my slab when I want to
If I go right back man I know what they gone do
I'm good right here I ain't tryna no nowhere
If it ain't about freedom if it ain't about money you ain't gone see Ro there
Hating ass nigga tryna make me lose my cool but I'm not gone go there (Ima chill)
You already know the king of the ghetto a fool will leave a nigga with no hair
Then Im have to get a bond
Im have to get a lawyer
Im have to be present for the docket
Up early in the mother fucking morning let the metal detector take everything out my pockets
You know I'm pose to be drop head with a bad bitch all up in her until she telling me to stop it
I ain't nothing but a baller tryna shoot my shot the judge and the prosecutor tryna block it
Its all good my deep ends like man to man
I know they wanna catch me selling something hand to hand
No roof Chris commissary bag in my hand in the penitentiary wishing for a dark carrovan
And all my real niggas doing that time I know they feel me
For something I had in my pocket I'm at a dime they tryna kill me

I ain't going back to jail bro
I refuse to return to prison ever again
Nasty ass food thug
Disgusting food while locked up
Can't sleep on lock down at night and shit thug
Insomnia during confinement
I use to love when my kids come visit me but
I cherished visits from my children
Tears in my eyes when they leave 'cause I can't leave with em you know
Heartbreak when my kids leave me behind in jail
I ain't trying to go through that shit no more
I don't want to experience that again
I'm through with that shit for real
I'm done with it completely
I go back to that mother fucker they gone talk bout me like a dog
If I return, people will gossip negatively about me
And this is why
Hence, this is my reasoning
