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.

Yea rite, I promise you 2 always treat you rite yea rite,
I promise 2 be down 4 you an never cheat but when I'm with a dime piece I can see them tears flying down yo cheek,

She love a nigga but I be damn if she trusts a nigga.
But the sex still a 10 when we fucking nigga. And she like:
Y u thug me like dat? I swear 2 GOD I don't mean 2, sometimes I feel like I don't need you. [x4]
Now I promise not leave ya pussy whiped yea rite,

I guess I live the life of a super star driving all these fancy cars, an real talk man I can have any broad.
Plus I hate 2 see you cry, I hate 2 tell you lies, that's y deep inside she be like y you thug me like that.
It's just in me, been doing girls wrong since I stepped off in McKinley.
Hate 2 put my hands on ya cuz I feel bad.

They got a lot of women wrong, got a lot of women strong.
But when you got a super star you gotta hold on.

The song "Thug Me Like That" is about Lil Boosie's struggles with commitment and his desire to live the life of a superstar while still wanting his partner to be faithful and loyal. He promises to come home at night and to always treat his partner right, but he finds it difficult to keep those promises when he is with other women. He acknowledges that his actions hurt his partner and he feels guilty about it, but he also tells her that he can't help being a thug.
Throughout the song, Lil Boosie speaks about his desire to live the life of a superstar and the temptation he feels when he is surrounded by beautiful women. He promises to take his partner on a cruise but later changes his mind, and he always promises to take her to the movies but never has the time. He spends most of his time with his friends, and his partner is left feeling neglected and alone.
Despite his shortcomings, Lil Boosie still has a strong sexual connection with his partner, and they have passionate sex even though he cheats on her. His partner asks him why he thug her, but he doesn't have an answer other than it's just who he is.
Overall, the song is a reflection on Lil Boosie's complicated relationship with commitment and how his desires conflict with his partner's expectations.

I swear on my life, when I first heard this song in 2007, before the beat of Thug Me Like That played, Lil Boosie said, "LIL BOOSIE BAD AZZ" first, and then the beat of the song started playing. And I swear on everything I heard the song like,
"Why you thugging like that,
I swear to God, I don't NEED YOU
Sometimes I feel like I don't need you"
"Why you thugging like that,
I swear to God, I don't NEED YOU
Sometimes I feel I don't need you"
