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.

Chief Keef Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Judge gon' give me life, foreign door murders
Sitting at a red light, pourin' this purp up
See the LV on my boxers, when I'm lifting my shirt up
Cops try to search us, hoes tryna twerk us
Walk in with all this ice, did it on purpose
Got spice like Red Hot, need to keep ya tail tucked
Have folks 'n 'em deliver this to you, put it in ya mailbox
Niggas be really knowin', bitches be really goin
Look up and the ceiling gone, that ass I'm feelin' on
Need a Christina Milian, I could pop me a wheelie on
'Bout to go get some more chains
Like I ain't got enough jewelry on
Went to the trap last night, and I looked up it was dawn
Got a U-Haul backing in, with equipment and more laundry
You know we ain't really for none, all I know is get paper
I know killas and they owe me big favors, bitches XO me like Weeknd
I'm somewhere out eating, stay yo ass in 2 feet
Or go yo ass on the deep end, someone hand me a ashtray
That's my boys who passed away, keep my mouth laminated
'Til the day I'm eliminated
No I can't calm down, bitch I'm too turnt up
Judge gon' give me life, foreign door murders
Sitting at a red light, pourin' this purp up
See the LV on my boxers, when I'm lifting my shirt up
Cops try to search us, hoes tryna twerk us
Walk in with all this ice, did it on purpose
Got spice like Red Hot, need to keep ya tail tucked
Have folks 'n 'em deliver this to you, put it in ya mailbox
What's yo address nigga? Where you live at nigga?
We ain't tryna hear that nigga, you know I'm a real ass nigga
You know I gotta get cash nigga, you know I want it real bad nigga
My young niggas run down on you, treat you like a lil' ass nigga
Bitches see the ice, they see the cars, they see the Benz they in the mood
They get in, into the spot, that's where the cars gon' take us to
I need top, I told them bitches that like it was breaking news
And you know I be about my chicken, bitch no Ramen noodles
Jail cell not even bigger than my pantry
We can't leave no trace I guess them gloves come in handy
It's lovely now, bitches be loving me now aye, had the bitch suckin' me up
She might end up shutting me down aye
No I can't calm down, bitch I'm too turnt up
Judge gon' give me life, foreign door murders
Sitting at a red light, pourin' this purp up
See the LV on my boxers, when I'm lifting my shirt up
Cops try to search us, hoes tryna twerk us
Walk in with all this ice, did it on purpose
Got spice like Red Hot, need to keep ya tail tucked
Have folks 'n 'em deliver this to you, put it in ya mailbox
