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.

Boosie Badazz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I could be
I'm just tryna get my cash again
They gon' make me turn into the bad guy again
I'm the type of nigga to give you a job if you say hi
But I'm not the type that's gon' let you slide if you rob me
At Six Flags on a roller coaster probably
Not bother nobody for real
I don't want me a robbery, I don't want me a body
I just beat about it, MJ and RayRay need they papi
Murder this shit, get sloppy
I'd rather be in Vegas droppin' this shit on the table
Winnin' big, pitchin' the waiter
Leave me alone, I just want happiness and family time
But I ain't pussy, I'mma let you know, I'mma handle mine
Hope you don't call my call and dial 'cause I'mma answer, man
Shoot this 40 straight through your heart, I be your Valentine
Please, please just leave me alone
Ain't 'bout no trouble, but I could be
Niggas be talkin' like they gangsta
But if I bring it to 'em raw they just gon' tell on me so
Please, please just leave me alone
Ain't 'bout no trouble, but I could be
I'm just tryna get my cash again
But they gon' make me turn in to the bad guy again
I never started niggas, I never bothered niggas
I never talked at all, it was nothin', I slaugther niggas
Got daughters, nigga, ain't got the time to be goin' to war with you
'Cause if you don't know I know, what a real street walker do
Niggas hunt for you, all day, boxin' lunch for you
Never new faces, always these same cases who ran with you
I'm tryna hunt a billion dollars, not tryna hunt for you
I'll spray you down, you goin' downtown and run your rudy poo
You want beef behind a bitch, watch what she do to you
Send you where the sun don't come out, signature nigga, Boosie crew
I just wanna feed my fam, act a ass on Instagram
Readin' everyday that I was in the pen, missin', man
Please, please just leave me alone
Ain't 'bout no trouble, but I could be
Niggas be talkin' like they gangsta
But if I bring it to 'em raw they just gon' tell on me so
Please, please just leave me alone
Ain't 'bout no trouble, but I could be
I'm just tryna get my cash again
But they gon' make me turn in to the bad guy again
But they gon' make me turn in to the bad guy again
But they gon' make me turn in to the bad guy again
But they gon' make me turn in to the bad guy again
