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.
I spoke to the devil in Miami he said everything would be fine
XXXTENTACION Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The tears don't show
Won't hurt me now 'cause heart's been broke
I hate myself but it won't show
I constantly lose all my remorse
And it's ten for the wolf and
Three for the shepherd and it's
One for the sheep who
Led by a leopard, often
Gave his perception as a
Handle of weapon, took a
Bite of your apple, give me
All you can offer, now I'm
Trapped in a changing maze
Setting my soul ablaze
Couldn't control the pace
Where is this going? Hey
Heartless is recklessness, it is
Word of a pacifist to
Word of a masochist, I'm
Off of the map, my Lord I
Spoke to a baphomet, he
Said he would save me if I
Gave him one thing he needed
What is this thing I pleaded?
Boy, it's the key to Eden
Yeah
And as I spoke my fangs were shown
Taken aback, he smiles and tells me
"What you crave will soon be yours
But what I crave is already mine"

The lyrics to "I Spoke to the Devil in Miami" by xxxtentacion convey feelings of depression, self-hatred, and a lack of control. The lines "And I'm always where the sun don't shine, the tears don't show" and "I hate myself but it won't show" suggest that the singer is trying to conceal their emotions from the outside world. They feel heartbroken but are trying to move on and not allow the pain to affect them anymore.
The wolf, shepherd, and sheep imagery in the chorus is open to interpretation, but it could be about survival of the fittest or the idea that everyone is looking out for themselves. The phrase "Heartless is recklessness, it is word of a pacifist to word of a masochist" implies that someone who is heartless may seem like a pacifist (or nonviolent) on the surface, but their actions are actually those of a masochist (or someone who enjoys pain).
The second half of the song involves the singer speaking to the devil, who promises to give them what they want in exchange for something he needs. The mention of Baphomet, a pagan deity associated with the occult, adds to the dark and sinister tone of the song. The devil reveals that the key to Eden is the thing he wants, leaving the singer to ponder what this could possibly mean.
Overall, "I Spoke to the Devil in Miami" provides a glimpse into the mind of someone struggling with their emotions, identity, and the concept of good versus evil.

Breaking the fantasy
Shifting reality
Death struck a chord in my heart
Now the pains in my art
As the heavens reign
Trying to remember Gods true name
In the end I've found my way
Burning bridges guide the path
Jesus Christ saves the day
Searching for hope at the end of a rope
You must of tuned into the wrong show
Preaching war and peace
the lamb of the beast
Maybe God never knew me
As I crown my self king
The devil sings for me
As I'm down on my knees
Begging for mercy
My souls ablaze
Lost in your evil gaze
Dancing on the edge of a blade
Losing my mind
One last time
Searching for the key to Eden
Sold my soul for a season
Escapes my only reason
Tell me how I need Jesus
They'll never believe this
Maybe I'm on the wrong side of reason
I need a friend
But their always leaving
I wanna heal
But I'm always bleeding
Know that time is fleeting
But love is endless
Searching for more in our friends lists
The struggle within
Losing the will to live
The days of pain begin
Searching for a greater sin
Changing the way it is
Breaking the barrier of mind body and soul
Transcending a broken reality
The devil knows
I'll never let this world go
