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 ↴
I don't want it like Tommy
I'm Nesquik with this bitch, ayy
I'm about my money, can't mix
That with this shit, ayy
You about that gunplay, then with
That you get hit, ayy
Red rum with this shit, ayy
What's that backwards? Murder
Got killed for that bitch and
All she wanted was further
Hand back, just hit that, told her get back
Then this bitch say she love me
I can dig that
Girl, you just smoked some lil parlor
He say you don't, I'm like "Word up"
She say being a thot, she ain't heard of
But I act like I ain't heard her
She say she wanna fuck me, then I'ma sue her
I just want some top
She thought I was gon' do her
Bitch, I'm posted with my Ruger
Just in case this bitch screw up, ayy
This bitch say she wanna make up, then
I told that bitch to put on her make up, then
This bitch say she wanna break up
I told that bitch that I'ma player
This bitch a freak in the sheets
But thot in the streets
Told that bitch ain't nobody meeting
My mama but me
This bitch wanna count my hundreds with me
I told that bitch I brought
My money counter with me
This bitch be calling my phone, ayy
This bitch won't leave me 'lone
This bitch wanna smoke all my strong
This bitch gotta go home this bitch
This bitch think she the shit
So she ain't lie, she like me
But I know she is, ayy
Baby girl, tricks are for kids
Nah, I don't trust that bitch
