Cozart attended Dulles Elementary School and later Banner High School on Chicago's South Side, which is where he got his career start. In December 2011, he was arrested on a weapons charge (aggravated unlawful use of a weapon) and put under house arrest at his grandmother's home. While under house arrest, Cozart posted several videos to his YouTube account. The attention he received grew in the short time between the release of several mixtapes and several music videos, including "Bang," "3Hunna," and "I Don't Like." After two locally successful mixtapes, "I Don't Like" became a local hit in Chicago. It also caught fellow Chicago rapper Kanye West's attention, and West organized a remix of the song along with rappers Pusha T, Jadakiss, and Big Sean. On July 7, 2012, it was announced that Chief Keef would be performing at the 2012 Lollapalooza music festival.
In the following years, Keef has served up a continuous stream of releases, such as Back From the Dead 2 (2014), Bang 3 (2015), and Thot Breaker (2017). Critics have cited Chief Keef as a major influence on contemporary hip hop through his impact on artists such as Lil Uzi Vert, 21 Savage, Tupac and various collaborations.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dodgin' hoes and I'm dodgin' narcos
I'm in your city and I've got my pole
It's a 50 bitch, call 5-0
Pint of the drink, got me movin' slow
All this fuckin' dope, all this fuckin' smoke
I think that I'm Kobe how I'm ballin' on a hoe
Hit the court, bitches fallin' on the floor
Slam dunk, layup, pull up, three point, what up
Boy, you're such a woulda coulda shoulda
Pull up on you in a what the uh uh
Rollin' up a egg roll, do you want some?
Run down on you, time to make you fumble
Let off ten shots and I made you stumble
Got that Ric Flair, do you want to rumble?
I am Tarzan made it outta jungle
Now I'm feet up countin' stupid paychecks
If you got a problem, nigga, say that
Sharper than an axe, cleaner than AJAX
Be worried about how many shots this K got
Pop tags, fuck hoes, rock shows
Dodgin' hoes and I'm dodgin' narcos
I'm in your city and I've got my pole
It's a 50 bitch, call 5-0
Pint of the drink, got me movin' slow
All this fuckin' dope, all this fuckin' smoke
I think that I'm Kobe how I'm ballin' on a hoe
Hit the court, bitches fallin' on the floor
Hey bitch, what's your name?
Hit the party, yeah, the gang's here
We finna leave, these niggas lame here
I'm finna hop up in a reindeer
I'm finna pick up all the slut hoes
I don't really wanna fuck though
I kill you with my own hands
Fo'nem who want me to bust though
Bitch, I'm still with that street shit
Clip longer than a fuckin' selfie stick
Be in your grass, yeah, I'm still on that creep shit
I'll hop out in your hood and take a pee bitch
Let's get it, catch up
Pop tags, fuck hoes, rock shows
Dodgin' hoes and I'm dodgin' narcos
I'm in your city and I've got my pole
It's a 50 bitch, call 5-0
Pint of the drink, got me movin' slow
All this fuckin' dope, all this fuckin' smoke
I think that I'm Kobe how I'm ballin' on a hoe
Hit the court, bitches fallin' on the floor
