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 ↴
'Cause last time I saw you, you was mad right
Now you smiling, yeah that's right
You were in love, and I was on drugs
I wasn't rich yet, I was a thug
Girl, you make me go whoa
You make me go whoa
You make me go whoa
You make me go whoa
You make me go whoa
When I see you, I smile, my brothers like, "What's that?"
And I'm like, "When she leaves my mind she comes right back"
And they're like, "ooh baby, you're tripping in that stack"
'Cause I'm smiling and they know that we didn't have sex
I'll ride with you in my passenger seat
I'll stop seeing women that I see every week
I'll put my guard down and we'll go out to eat
If this was all a dream, I'll see you in my sleep
When I saw you last night I tripped out
'Cause last time I saw you, you was mad right
Now you smiling, yeah that's right
You were in love, and I was on drugs
I wasn't rich yet, I was a thug
Girl, you make me go whoaa
You make me go whoaa
You make me go whoa
You make me go whoa
You make me go whoa
You make me go whoaa
Let's grow old together
Baby, I'm gon' treat you better
I can be the sun in your rainy weather
Let's just get together
What do you eat? What's your favorite color?
Do you like D. Rose or do you like Butler?
So you don't smoke? Okay, that's fine
I'mma need 20 minutes of your time, cause you're a dime
When I saw you last night I tripped out
'Cause last time I saw you, you was mad right
Now you smiling, yeah that's right
You were in love, and I was on drugs
I wasn't rich yet, I was a thug
Girl, you make me go whoaa
You make me go whoaa
You make me go whoa
You make me go whoa
You make me go whoa
You make me go whoaa
The song "Whoa" by Chief Keef expresses his desire for a past lover who he regrets not fully appreciating. The lyrics suggest that when they were together, Keef was more focused on drugs and being a thug, and wasn't mature enough to appreciate what he had in the relationship. However, upon seeing her again, Keef realizes his mistake and expresses his desire to be with her again. He is willing to change his ways to be with her, even asking about her favorite things and offering to be the "sun in [her] rainy weather."
The chorus of the song, "You make me go whoa," represents Keef's surprise at the positive changes he sees in his former partner. Instead of being angry and distant like the last time he saw her, she is now smiling and in love. This unexpected turn of events makes Keef even more interested in being with her again.
Overall, the song shows Chief Keef's vulnerability and growth as a person. He realizes his mistakes and is willing to change for the better. The lyrics also reveal his desire for a genuine connection with someone, suggesting that he has come to value love over material things.
