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 ↴
Bitch I'm Almighty Sosa Batman
Know I got my Smith & Wesson
That be my illegal weapon
I'm off this Earth I feel like Superman
Cocky like He-Man, cut like Wolverine
Come through yo' block like Green Goblin
Wetting shit up Spiderman
Come through your block, ay
Like Batman with a Glock, ay
Red beams on the gun bitch, Cyclops, ay
Wonder Woman, I name my watch, ay
I got my heat, I feel like He-Man
Brought Sandman to the beach so bitch I'm Seaman, ay
I got a cold from all this ice man, ay
Don't make me flash my fuckin' pipe man, ay
I'm Spiderman, my oh got killed off white man
Come through your block, Star Wars with the shots
Daredevil with a cane 'cause I'm shootin' like I'm blind, ay
Smokin' Liu Kang kush, Sub-Zero, the whole nine, ay
Now I'm feelin' like I'm walkin' dead bitch, Sosa Rick Grimes
By myself 'cause these niggas yes men
Bitch I'm almighty Sosa Batman
Know I got my Smith & Wesson
That be my illegal weapon
I'm off this Earth I feel like Superman
Cocky like He-Man, cut like Wolverine
Come through yo' block like Green Goblin
Wetting shit up Spiderman
Flacko order quarter coke that straight from Sosa man
That's that soda, eyes the color of Coca-Cola cans
Green like Cloverland, everyday I'm blowin' grams
Everything is purple, yes I am the Joker then
Life's a game of poker, tell that nigga "show your hand"
I'm pullin' cards, I think it's time you niggas fold again
Told you soldiers with the scope I show attack
Told you, blow you, John Doe you then
Now nobody know the man, damn
From rippin' the Benz
Flippin' them grams, flippin' a fifth to a gram
I might get an advance, got rich again
Switchin' more bitches in France
(We ain't rapin' hoes, but we out here cookin', stealin'
You Captain Save-A-Hoe, nigga I'm the pussy villain)
Spiderman, Peter Parker, I'm like Peter Pan
Treat my ops like Cyclops if I see the man
Wolverine in skinny jeans, diamonds Billy Jean
They tap dance, the Batman is a black man
By myself 'cause these niggas yes men
Bitch I'm Almighty Sosa Batman
Know I got my Smith & Wesson
That be my illegal weapon
I'm off this Earth I feel like Superman
Cocky like He-Man, cut like Wolverine
Come through yo' block like Green Goblin
Wetting shit up Spiderman
