Growing up, Boosie was hardened by the many difficult experiences he was put through. His neighborhood, notorious for drugs and violence, was a place feared by the general population. To outsiders, it was a jungle, to residents, it was life. Boosie got very involved in basketball to stay off the streets, and was actually expected to move on to college level basketball.
At 14 years old, Boosie moved in to live with his grandmother after his father was murdered over drugs. Growing up with no father figure and without a strong guiding hand, Boosie turned to drugs and crime. After being expelled from school, Boosie picked up freestyling and began to get serious about his music. Living in the 225, Boosie had no contacts, no real means of exposure. Lil Boosie teamed up with Baton Rouge rapper C-Loc in the late 1990s and made his debut on C-Loc's 5th album, "It's a Gamble", which also featured Three Six Mafia, South Park Mexican, and the rest of the Concentration Camp. This album was a saving grace for C-Loc, as he was slowly losing popularity. Releasing this album put him back in the spotlight, as he had a new young tallented rapper at his side. Baton Rouge couldn't get enough. Shortly afterwards, Boosie released his debut CD, "Youngest of the Camp", which sold over 10,000 units and featured fellow up and coming Baton Rouge rapper Max Minelli, which was exactly what boosie needed to jump start his career. The album spread like wildfire, every hood in Baton Rouge had flyers up for it, everybody was playing it.
After the incarceration, Boosie once again turned back to the streets. Ultimately, his behavior led to him also being incarcerated. At this point, Boosie felt as though he was a failure. However, fate lent Boosie a hand, and Boosie had an opportunity to join an up and coming record label called Trill Entertainment aka Trill Ent which was backed by Pimp-C of UGK. Trill signed Boosie and assisted him in bring his legal issues to an end. Soon after, Boosie and Trill independently released the CD "For my Thugs" under TrillEnt. This release went on to sell over 15,000 copies. Later in the summer of 2003, Boosie co-starred with one of his label-mates, Webbie, on the album "Ghetto Stories" which also went on to sell well over 15,000 copies.
Again paired up with Webbie, Lil Boosie's 2004 release, "Gangsta Musik" is what really gained him popularity. This CD featured the ever popular songs "Swerve" (which later made an appearance in the movie "Hustle and Flow"), "Give Me That", and "Bad Bitch". This was Boosie's first really popular album, actually penetrating the borders of Louisiana and reaching far beyond.
Boosie's talent was now undeniable, and he caught the eye of some Universal Records representatives. In late January of 2005, Boosie signed a deal with Universal, and released the CD "Boosie Bad Azz". This album, backed and promoted by Universal Records, was his strongest yet. Boosie continues to gain popularity at an astonishing rate, and is no stranger to trouble with the law. Already incarcerated for probation violation on drug and gun charges, the Trill Entertainment rapper and two associates (one of them only 17 years old) were indicted on first-degree murder charges by a grand jury on Thursday, June 17, 2010. The men are accused of being involved in the shooting of 35-year-old Terry Boyd in his own house in October. District attorney Hiler Moore stated that the killing seemed to be "over turf" and that if Lil Boosie is convicted the death penalty is not out of the question. The same day, Hatch was also indicted on multiple drug and conspiracy charges for smuggling large amounts of codeine, ecstasy and marijuana into prison with intent to distribute. His girlfriend, a prison guard and a fellow inmate were also charged as co-conspirators. In addition to these charges, prosecutors believe the 27-year-old rapper may have been involved in at least five other slayings.

The opening lines of the song suggest that there are people who claim to be gangsters but in reality are not ready to be one. Boosie is advising these individuals to βchill outβ and refrain from indulging in activities that could get them in legal trouble or harm. He then takes on several topics, mostly related to the streets, and shares his thoughts on them.
In the first verse, Boosie emphasizes the dangers of gang life and the consequences it can have, not just for oneself but also for loved ones. He also highlights how anger and frustration in the hood can drive individuals toward criminal activities. Boosie appears to be calling out those who carry a weapon or claim to be thugs without actually having any street credibility or accomplishments to back themselves up. He also references a warning from his mother about not raising her son to be a gangster.
In the second verse, Boosie talks about the importance of dedication and hard work in achieving success, including in music. He warns against the perils of chasing a quick buck or fame, as it may lead to poor judgment and trouble with the law. He argues that many people, including women, are attracted to individuals with money and fame rather than their character. He also emphasizes that the street life involves taking losses and communicating with bosses.
In the third verse, Boosie calls out individuals who claim to be streetwise but are not really about that life. He suggests that these people are not ready for the consequences of their actions and need to chill out. He acknowledges that there are consequences to life on the street and warns that those who are not careful could end up in jail or dead. He also makes a reference to a deceased friend or associate named Glen, whom he advises to chill out and avoid reckless behavior.

It is too late to get into the drug game so calm down, girls will only love you as long as you have money, watch your friends closely because you may get caught by the cops, and you may get a life sentence if you go down this path.
You wanna life sentence?(think about it) you wanna get put on lockdown were you cant write niggas? you wanna get threw onthat wrong line to fight niggas? you wanna get 20 to life come home stressin on that pipe nigga?
Do you want to spend your whole life in jail? Do you want to be put in solitary where you cannot even communicate with people? Do you want to get thrown into fights? Do you want to be stressed out about drugs after getting 20 years to life?
if u wanna be a rapper u gotta b dedicated(see mee)nigga couldnt tell boosie shit thats how lil boosie made it nigguhhh chill out,
If you want to become a rapper, you must be committed to your goals. No one could tell Boosie what to do, and that is how he became successful. So, calm down.
take dat grill out yo mouth, go and sell it fo 300 go get a half a oz (haaha)money talk, bullshit walk a thousand milles ho's go say dey love a nigga but dey love da shinee so many niggas want my shine so i keep a 9,
Take the fake teeth out of your mouth and sell them, use the money to buy drugs or invest it into something that can help you in the long run. People who say they love you really only love your money and do not care about anything else. Many people covet your lifestyle and possessions, so it is better to keep a gun with you.
if im stressin i need purple 2 ease my miiind u dont know bout taken losses you dont know bout throwin crosses u dont no bout communicatin wit bosses u got yo gold in yo mouth and got yo pistol now aint nobody done ya nutin BUT, u a killa now
When I'm feeling stressed, I need some quality weed to calm me down. You have not experienced failures and disappointment, so you know nothing about taking big losses or dodging police. You also do not know how to communicate with people at the top of your field. Having gold teeth and a gun gives people the impression that you are a dangerous individual who cannot be messed with, but you are only a fake killer.
u aint tired nigga? u cant c dat yo momma eyes aint dried yet?(LOOK AT EM) you get caught on dat ride u gone be quiet(g code!) u got dat pistol u ready for that fire play where ya mind at?
Aren't you tired, my friend? Don't you see the sadness in your mother's eyes? If you get caught by the cops, you will not say anything to anyone because of the G-code. While carrying your gun, are you ready for the shootout? Where is your head at?
u got screws in ya head u aint retarded in a retarded way but i guess u thuggin so u betta be bout that pistol play donkey chill out, eva since he been out laughin lookin happy his lil cuz takin ova the south but all the boys already thuggin, will it come back to haunt him, come back on our baby mommas me?
You have screws in your head, not in the sense of being mentally disabled but in the sense of being crazy. But, I guess you are a thug, so you better be careful while carrying a gun. After spending time in jail, you will come back to see your younger cousin laughing and taking over the south, but everyone already has a criminal record that will lead to problems for their families and daughters.
im mister 106, cant fuck wit no bitch tryna chill my ass out lil boosie on that otha shit shoulda told glen 2 chill out and slow his roll, but i told him to go get laptops and 44's forgive me god my heart wuz cold real gangstas dont see 25 wut i was told
I am Mister 106, and will not let anyone or anything distract me from my goals. Even though Lil Boosie is doing well, he should have told Glen to calm down and take it easy. Instead, I encouraged him to buy laptops and guns, and I am sorry if that was a mistake. People who live like gangsters are not going to live long, as they have been taught.
