Webby's mother was a middle school teacher at Nathan Hale Middle School, his father was a guitarist and he was their only child. He started listening to rap at a young age admiring Eminem, he then started writing his own raps in 2000 at age 11. He attended Greens Farms Academy, a private school in Westport, Connecticut.
Webster has differentiated himself from similar acts in the new hip-hop/frat rap genre through his detailed attention to wordplay. He is recognizable by the high number of tattoos covering his body, most of which pertain to video games (Mortal Kombat, Mario, Boo the Ghost, etc.) or to aspects of 90's culture (Transformers).
He told AllHipHop in 2013, that he uses Adderall in the studio, which he is prescribed. He explained that he was diagnosed with ADD at a young age and has been on attention medication throughout his life. He says to this day that he has very bad attention deficit disorder.
Webster's devoted fans are know as "Ninjas."

Chris Webby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put your bottles of Adderall in the air.
This is for everyone with A.D.D.
You know you got it.
Listen, listen.
[Verse 1]
I got attention deficit disorder, I ain't kiddin' 'em,
Poppin' them shits three at a time, in heavy dosages,
And go back to the doctor like, "I still can't focus, bitch!"
That's right, it's the A.D.D.,
Got officially tested in upstate CT.
And after I did my part,
The dude went to my parents and was like,
"Hmm, where do I start? His levels are off the charts."
This shit is killin' me, bit still I rap it skillfully,
Even with a certified mental disability.
I know y'all feelin' me, it's drivin' me mad,
Got A.D.D. so bad, I can't even add.
[Chorus]
I can't pay attention for nothin', end of discussion,
I just got that A.D.D.
A.D.D., A.D.D., I just got that A.D.D.
And teacher I know that I can't focus, but you gotta know it's
Just that A.D.D.
A.D.D., A.D.D., I just got that A.D.D.
[Verse 2]
I daydream more than Lupe, sing a different tune,
Spaced out, eye fuckin' that biddy across the room.
It's true, I'm not messin', this shit would get you stressin',
Teachers callin' on me, I'm like, "Uhh could you repeat the question?"
I don't pay attention, miss out on every lesson,
Get lost cause I wasn't listening when I got the directions.
Start typin' in my phone and then forget who I was textin',
Zone out during sex and lose my fucking erection.
I really hate this, constantly misplace shit,
Losing my wallet, phone, or keys on a day to day basis.
It'd probably help if every night I didn't get wasted,
Or high enough to be a passenger aboard a space ship.
But since I do, then fuck it,
Even though losing my scholarship is not within my budget.
Cause son, I'm not playin',
I... Uh... Shit, I forgot what I was sayin'.
[Chorus]
I can't pay attention for nothin', end of discussion,
I just got that A.D.D.
A.D.D., A.D.D., I just got that A.D.D.
And teacher I know that I can't focus, but you gotta know it's
Just that A.D.D.
A.D.D., A.D.D., I just got that A.D.D.
[Verse 3]
My brain just doesn't work, cause of all the drugs I've done,
And A.D.D. to the point where thinking even hurts.
Teachers try to talk to me, as if I am gonna hear it,
All I do is crack jokes, space out, and write lyrics.
My brain's unraveled over time like a rope does,
Losin' my mind like that change in your sofas.
But I don't gotta take my meds to spit it dope cause,
All they do is give me dry mouth and a coke buzz.
So what? I can't focus, but it's straight,
At least I got a good excuse when all of my work is late.
Maybe can't pay attention, but there is still a place,
In my brain that allows me to murder a mixtape.
Wait, maybe it ain't even so bad after all,
Fuck all the doctors, I don't need to pop an Adderall.
I'll just be a rapper and such to make bucks,
But if that doesn't work, I guess I'm fucked.
[Chorus]
I can't pay attention for nothin', end of discussion,
I just got that A.D.D.
A.D.D., A.D.D., I just got that A.D.D.
And teacher I know that I can't focus, but you gotta know it's
Just that A.D.D.
A.D.D., A.D.D., I just got that A.D.D.
Chris Webby's "A.D.D." is a rap song that speaks about attention deficit disorder (ADD), a common mental health condition that affects one's ability to focus, pay attention, and complete tasks. In the song, Webby describes his personal experience with ADD, stating that he got officially tested for it and had to rely on Adderall and Ritalin to be able to focus. However, even with the medication, he still struggles with attention and often finds himself daydreaming instead of being present in the moment.
Webby also touches on the social and academic challenges that come with having ADD, such as missing out on important lessons, misplacing things, and being forgetful. He even jokes that he gets "lost" because he wasn't listening when he got directions. Moreover, he acknowledges that his condition has pushed him to become a rapper, as he sees it as an opportunity to excel in something that he's passionate about, even if he can't excel in a traditional classroom setting.
The chorus of "A.D.D." repeats the phrase "I just got that A.D.D." multiple times, highlighting the frustration and irony of the condition. However, the song also serves as a reminder that having ADD doesn't have to limit one's potential or talent.
Overall, "A.D.D." is an honest and humorous take on the challenges of living with attention deficit disorder. It sheds light on how medication can help manage symptoms, but also acknowledges that the condition itself doesn't define a person or their abilities.
