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.

Ain't no pillow talkers in the game
He's a dork, he's a lame
No you can't hang with the gang if you ain't gang
Boy, I know it, know it, know it
You ain't down like a fuckin' doormat
I'm ridin' 'round lookin' for the money
I hop out, I be gloin', gloin', gloin'
Ring, ring, what's on my line?
Girl, it's that, money, I swear it call all the time
Bang, bang, what's that?
My gun
I up this muthafuckin' blow it boy, better make it, run
Ding ding, what's that? A pizza pie?
If it's an enemy then I won't be surprised
Ding, ding, it's a friend in a disguise
Nigga act like they with you, they out to get you, ah
Smokin' on this chimney
God, look at what you did to me
I'm high these bitches be feelin' me
Ayy, ayy
GG sports, it's in the game
Ain't no pillow talkers in the game
He's a dork, he's a lame
No you can't hang with the gang if you ain't gang
Boy, I know it, know it, know it
You ain't down like a fuckin' doormat
I'm ridin' 'round lookin' for the money
I hop out, I be gloin', gloin', gloin'
Take a picture, it'll last longer
That lil lady got an ass on her
Chief Sosa, he got that cash on him
Call me Chief YC I got them racks, on racks, on racks on me
Cloth, I be cuttin' 'em
I just fronted you some money and you fuck it up
Goons with me, money with me, take it, fuck you up
Boy, you say that you's a gangsta, gotta look you up
Buda, look at what you did to me
Walked in the True Religion store, you know that I got plenty jeans
Johnny Dang, look at what you did to me
Walked up in the jewelry store, walk out like a damn mini freezer
GG sports, it's in the game
Ain't no pillow talkers in the game
He's a dork, he's a lame
No you can't hang with the gang if you ain't gang
Boy, I know it, know it, know it
You ain't down like a fuckin' doormat
I'm ridin' 'round lookin' for the money
I hop out, I be gloin', gloin', gloin'
The lyrics of "Gloin" by Chief Keef depict the life of a gangster who prides himself on the gangster lifestyle. He talks about what he does, who he hangs out with, and how he makes money. He emphasizes the importance of loyalty, warning anyone who isn't gang to steer clear of his gang. He also talks about his love for money, and how he is always looking for more of it. He flaunts his wealth, as evidenced by his reference to designer clothing, jewelry, and his ability to front people money. The song also references drugs and weapons while advocating the use of violence and retaliation against perceived enemies.
The chorus sees Chief Keef boasting about his position in the gang, suggesting that in order to hang out with him or his crew, you have to be gang too. He berates those who are not part of the gang, insisting that they need to be down like a doormat to earn their respect. He also talks about the consequences of crossing him or his gang, suggesting that if you're not careful, you might be out to get you.
"GG sports" refers to the gaming company, EA Sports, and the popular sports game FIFA. "Pillow talkers" are those who share confidential information with outsiders. "Gloin" is slang for shining or flashing one's possessions.
