Onfroy's most popular song to-date is Look at Me, which was originally released in 2016 and re-released in 2017, and peaked at number 42 on US Billboard Hot 100. The single helped him gain more popularity in early 2017 due to accusations of Canadian rapper Drake using a similar rap flow in his then unreleased song, now released under the name "KMT", that he previewed at a concert in Amsterdam featuring British rapper Giggs.
In July 2016, Onfroy was arrested and charged with robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. After posting bail in early October of the same year, while awaiting trial, Onfroy was arrested again later that month on charges of false imprisonment, witness tampering, and aggravated battery of a pregnant victim. Onfroy was released from jail on bail on March 26, 2017.
Onfroy announced his debut studio album, 17 on July 30, 2017. The album released on August 25, 2017. It features 11 tracks and includes the lead single Revenge.
Onfroy was shot and killed on June 18, 2018, in Deerfield Beach, Florida.

XXXTENTACION Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Used to rob the plug for all his work so I could maintain
Won't be reminded of the lost days
Used to rob the plug for all his work so I could maintain
Won't be reminded of the lost days
Won't be reminded of the lost days
Won't be reminded of the lost days
Used to rob the plug for all his work so I could maintain
I'm doing drugs so I can maintain
Part of the reason that I can handle this damn pain
"I'm fucking numb" said the lonely heart of the drummer boy
Who'd rather wreak havoc than play around with a Tonka toy
Uh, shit, my mirror ain't been clearer lately
I see my mind becoming blind, material mistaken
Heart indulging in the things that are forever broken
I seen a father lose his son, why life so fucking hopeless?
Uh, ayy, concept of my depression is
That there's no fucking recollection when your birth begins
And there's nobody there to hold you when the pain begins
But there's somebody there to fold you when you're caving in
Uh, yuh, such discussed by such and such
You're a fucking loser, man
Well, life's a fucking uppercut
Right inside my fucking gut
Wanna fuckin' end it but
I don't have the balls to
Fuck, I'm such a pussy, fuck me up
Won't be reminded of the lost days
Used to rob the plug for all his work so I could maintain
Won't be reminded of the lost days
Used to rob the plug for all his work so I could maintain
Won't be reminded of the lost days
Won't be reminded of the lost days
Won't be reminded of the lost days
Used to rob the plug for all his work so I could maintain
No, I can't feel no pain right now
Lost in the skies while it's rainin' down
Numbness and hell, what we crave right now
No, I can't feel no pain right now
In the lyrics of xxxTentacion’s song “777”, the rapper talks about his past struggles and how they have led him to current drug use. He mentions how he used to rob drug dealers in order to make enough money to maintain his previous lifestyle. He says he doesn't want to be reminded of those "lost days". He uses drugs as an escape from the pain brought on by his past experiences. He talks about the concept of depression, how it makes him feel like there is no recollection of his birth and that nobody was there to help him when he needed it the most. He talks about the helplessness and hopelessness that comes with depression.
The chorus repeats several times indicating that he wants to forget his past and continue to use drugs to numb the pain. The dark, moody production combined with his melancholic tone add to the somber atmosphere and the lyrics are powerful and emotionally charged. He speaks of his vulnerability and helplessness very honestly and directly, while also using vivid imagery to paint a picture of his experiences.

Wanna fuckin' end it but

Despite my dark thoughts, I'm not brave enough to actually go through with suicide
Fuck, I'm such a pussy, fuck me up
I feel weak and powerless to overcome my struggles and my own negative self-image
No, I can't feel no pain right now
My drug use has made me emotionally numb and disconnected from reality
Lost in the skies while it's rainin' down
Despite feeling disconnected, I am still able to escape into my own mind and imagination
Numbness and hell, what we crave right now
I and others who struggle with addiction often seek the temporary relief of numbness, even though it can lead to a deeper state of despair
No, I can't feel no pain right now
I am so caught up in my own addiction and emotional struggles that I am unable to truly feel anything else
