Onfroy was known for his versatility with his music, which ranges from aggressive, punk rock-inspired hip hop, to somber and slower R&B style songs, to even heavy metal. His music is known for the lofi sound quality of his vocals and songs, which normally are distorted and unmastered. His vocal style ranged from singing, rapping, and screaming. Onfroy was also known for his violent outbursts in public life, with numerous arrests related to assault, robbery, and weapon possession.

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.

My face is what? (My face is what?) My face is gate
It ain't no talkin' about it
Just got the mind to go and fade a nigga (Boy)
Drop the addy won't be duckin' or bluffin'
Just pop out or give me the data, nigga (Oi)
Ate them niggas, hands is up to date it ain't no playing with 'em
End his day today, I had to pray a little
Gas your homie up but when that tank hit E
You better save your nigga (Save your nigga)
Why the fuck he mad at me for? (What?)
Last I checked he was tryin' to be, what?

Make his ass run he ain't really tryin' to have no fun (Huh)
Smoke good dope, A1 (One)
Try to keep up, get ahead of your, 'head of your lungs
We was at the front door, knockin' on the front door
Sorry, auntie, we just lookin' for your son

Well, hello there (Where that nigga at?)
So we got a very, very, very, very extra interesting story today
Pulled up to the crib
Like, basically I'm about to just beat this nigga's ass
I'ma make these niggas stop playing with me

Ayy, pull up on 'em, hey, make 'em run, hey, yuh (Ayy)
Ayy, pull up on 'em, hey, make 'em run, hey, pussy
Uh, pull up on 'em, hey, make 'em run, hey, yuh (Huh?)

Uh, pull up on 'em, hey, make 'em run, hey

I can tell the Ice Hotel is where my heart is cold as mucus from a snail
I remember to remember life is a bitch, so, no, I could never kiss-n-tell
And wish me well 'cause life is hell
And double the C 'cause a nigga only care about Chanel
I've been knockin' knees with birds and bees
Been overseas with bitches who don't speak English well
Like a owl, who?
The only enemy here is you
Uh, like bling, blow, kapoof
Fairly Odd Fairy 'done stole my tooth
No cap on cat, no Dr. Seuss
Eat flapjacks, double cup of syrup too
'Cause I only want the neck like a noose on goose
And I'm only wildin' out when I'm loose off Goose

Ayy, pull up on 'em, hey, make 'em run, hey, yuh (Ayy)

Uh, pull up on 'em, hey, make 'em run, hey

Overall Meaning

The song "Make Eem Run!" by Xxxtentacion, Ski Mask the Slump God, and Bass Santana is an energetic and aggressive track about dominance and flexing on others. The lyrics switch back and forth between Xxxtentacion and Ski Mask, with Bass Santana providing the chorus of "pull up on 'em, hey, make 'em run, hey, yuh." The lyrics play off of the idea of running and ducking from confrontation, with the artists claiming that they are the ones who hold power and make others run. The chorus is meant to intimidate anyone who might try to cross them, with Bass Santana's voice booming over the high-energy beat.

Aside from the aggressive lyrics, the song has a few memorable lines and themes. Xxxtentacion's verse stands out for its references to Chanel and his knock-knees. Ski Mask's verse has a more playful and surreal tone, mentioning a "Fairly Odd Fairy 'done stole my tooth" and eating flapjacks with a double cup of syrup. Throughout the song, there is a sense of cockiness and ego that fits with the swaggering beat and aggressive delivery. Overall, "Make Eem Run!" is a song meant to be played loud and with attitude, celebrating the artists' confidence and dominance.
