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.

Ytterp neeb ev'I
Nac eh naht retteb od nac I, naem I
Lrig, uoy wonk I, llew os uoy wonk I
Llew, llew, llew
Oh, oh, don't take my heart
Bmun os m'I, emas eht leef t'nod I dna
Oh, oh, don't break my heart
Bmun os m'I, emas eht leef t'nod I dna
Yeah
No dloh ot tsuj niap 'nileef eb ll'I
Listen close, what is this?
Is it heart break?
Is it truly what it feels like?
What it sound like?
What is truly at the essence
Sharp teeth in the chest
Cancer all in the breast
Of the beaten and bruised
Feeling like a pawn to the greed of these fools
But I never been a piece of the evil
In the womb of these fake fuck niggas
With they masks up, presume
I'll be telling, if I got a load, I swear I resume
On my conquest
For the key to the chest where my mind slept
And the love in my heart is a cancer
And I spread it through the wall as an answer
To the cries of the dead and the vanquished
The depressed and the lost and the damned, it's
Preservation of the peace, an ideal world
Never lonely when you flowin' through my mind, girl
I apologize, 'cause I couldn't see the pain in your damn eyes
'Cause a nigga made you leave with your heart in between different pains
Couldn't see ya when ya ain't cry
I guess I'm at a loss for words
To feel so close to someone, and finding they're gone the next day
I guess you never realize how permanently damaging that is
The first part of the song starts off with reversed lyrics that actually say, "I won't solve it, been pretty happy lately," which can be seen as a commentary on X's own mental state. "Llew os uoy wonk I" is "I know you well," spelled backward, and "Nac eh naht retteb od nac I, naem I" is "I mean, can't help but notice an echo in here, am I, am I?"
The chorus follows the reversed lyrics, and in it, X pleads for someone to not take or break his heart. The repetition of "Bmun os m'I, emas eht leef t'nod I dna" is "I don't want to feel the same emotions, numb so I'm" spelled backward. This can be interpreted as X expressing his desire to protect himself from being emotionally hurt.
In the second verse, X questions the feeling of heartbreak and whether it truly captures the essence of pain. He uses vivid imagery, comparing the pain to sharp teeth in the chest and cancer in the breast. X then reflects on his own life experience, acknowledging that he has never been a piece of the evil. He talks about the pressure of society and reveals that he spreads love as an answer to the cries of the dead, vanquished, depressed, and lost.
Overall, the song seems to be a plea for protection from emotional harm but also a reflection on the pain of heartbreak and a desire to spread love in the world.

Failure Will Never Overtake You If Your Determination To Succeed Is Strong Enough
-
We May Encounter Many Defeats But We Must Not Be Defeated
-
Be the change that you wish to see in the world.
-
Inspiration is some mysterious blessing which happens when the wheels are turning smoothly.
-
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.
-
A champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall.

As long as you keep going, you'll keep getting better :)

He used to be one of the "Yung Bratz"
He caused a "Riot"
He said that people should "Look At Me"
But after the tragedy of "Jocelyn Flores"
He made "changes"
He wanted to "Take a Step Back" from music but returned
He used to say "Fuck love", but then he changed his mind
He wanted everyone to have "Hope"
He knew people went through "Depression & Obsession"
He wanted "Revenge" against death, which took his friend away
But he never got it, in reality all he actually wanted was "The Remedy for a broken heart"
He wanted to raise awareness for horrible causes, because if he didn't the awareness would be "Going Down"
He wanted people to be happy because he knew that "Everyone Dies in Their Nightmares", so he wanted people to have happy dreams instead
He wanted everyone to sleep peacefully under the "Moonlight"
But now he is gone
And we all feel "SAD"
We also feel "BAD" because we underestimated him
He wanted to "Save me" and everyone else
Now he is our "Guardian angel"
Thank you XXXTentacion, you made me and millions of others happy.
