YoungBoy started writing and making music around the age of fourteen, eventually dropping his first mixtape Life Before Fame in April of 2015.

YoungBoy started to gain recognition when he dropped his projects Mind Of A Menace 3, Before I Go, and 38 Baby, but gained the most recognition for his hit song “38 Baby.”

Shortly after the success of “38 Baby” Young Boy was arrested on November 28, 2016, and was charged with two counts of attempted second-degree murder in connection with a drive-by shooting which occurred November 7, 2016. YoungBoy ended up being sentenced to a ten-year suspended prison sentence after serving six months in prison.

After YoungBoy was released from jail, he dropped “Untouchable” which is one of his biggest hits to date. Following the release of “Untouchable,” YoungBoy released AI YoungBoy on August 4, 2017.

Later on, in 2017 YoungBoy ended the year by dropping Ain’t Too Long and started 2018 by releasing his debut studio album, Until Death Call My Name.

Nowadays YoungBoy has come up with more famous tracks such as “Drawing Symbols,” “Lil Top,” “House Arrest Tingz” and “Around”. These have appeared on albums as AI Youngboy II, Still Flexin', Still Steppin' and Top.

On March 25, 2021, the rapper was taken into custody by the FBI on an outstanding federal warrant for drug and weapon charges which date back to 2016. While locked up, YoungBoy’s team released the rapper’s third studio album, Sincerely, Kentrell, on September 24, 2021: it was originally set to be released in May of the same year. Nearly a month after, on October 22, YoungBoy was released from jail on a $500K bond and is currently placed on house arrest in Utah.

Ending 2021, YoungBoy partnered with the fellow Louisiana native, Birdman to present the two artists' joint mixtape, From The Bayou which would peak at #19 on the Billboard 200.

Beginning 2022 to a ferocious start, YoungBoy would begin to diss King Von on songs such as “Bring The Hook,” and “Fish Scale.” These songs would soon appear on YoungBoy’s eighteenth mixtape, Colors which would later peak at #2 on the Billboard 200.

Later in the year, just a month afterward, YoungBoy would find himself in a viral controversy with the Chicago native, Lil Durk as both of them exchanged brutal disses from Durk’s “AHHH HA,” to YoungBoy’s “I Hate YoungBoy” — both regarding the death of King Von.

Following his hastily start to 2022, YoungBoy would partner up with DaBaby to present the duo’s joint mixtape, BETTER THAN YOU in March. The mixtape would later peak at #10 on the Billboard 200, this would mark YoungBoy’s ninth top ten.

On April 1, 2022, continuing his victorious run, YoungBoy would release The Last Slimeto Sampler, a sample album for his August release, The Last Slimeto. This album would mark YoungBoy’s final album with Atlantic Records.

On July 15, 2022, YoungBoy was found not guilty of his federal guns charge. In a interview on Instagram, YoungBoy announced that he and his team were planning to go on tour.

As planned, on August 5, 2022, YoungBoy released The Last Slimeto which would mark his last album with Atlantic Records, completing the contract. The album would also peak at #1 on the Billboard 200 marking his fifth #1 album. The project would also break a tie with Taylor Swift as it scored a #1 album in each of the past four years.

On September 6, 2022, YoungBoy released Realer 2 as a surprise release, it is presented as a sequel to his December 2018, Realer. Just over a month following the release of Realer 2, YoungBoy released the Juvenile-influenced mixtape, 3800 Degrees which would peak at #12 on the Billboard 200. Two weeks prior to the release of 3800 Degrees, YoungBoy would release yet another mixtape hosted by DJ Drama as a part of his Gangsta Grillz series titled Ma’ I Got A Family.

Through Billboard, on October 24, 2022, it was announced that following YoungBoy’s departure from Atlantic Records, beginning 2023, he would release music under a joint venture deal between his own Never Broke Again and Motown Records.

Oh
Show you somethin' you never seen, yeah
My nigga Wheezy, know what I'm sayin'?

I don't fit right, anomalies
And I don't accept how you lyin' to me
And see yourself all in my dreams
Show you somethin' you never seen

I don't seem to understand these things
I be rollin' outta bounds
I keep a beam steady goin' on lean (it's on)
Love over passion, tell me what it mean
Live like a gangster, I don't fit right with them things
Money talkin' like a preacher, blew that strap in the bottom
He tried runnin', knew they was comin', bounty hunters done caught him
Toss all yo' feelings in the leg once they locked in the bottom
I'm too aggressive, please excuse me
You know how I'm rockin', I'm thuggin'

I don't fit right, anomalies
And I don't accept how you lyin' to me
And see yourself all in my dreams
Show you somethin' you never seen
I don't fit right, anomalies
And I don't accept how you lyin' to me
And see yourself all in my dreams
Show you somethin' you never seen

You actin' funny all of a sudden
Well, bitch, just say you don't love me
Infiltratin', gone on occasions like you tryna hide somethin'
I never lie, always admit 'cause I be feelin' like, "fuck it"
I wouldn't want you to lie to me, you happy when you leave
I been done dirty and I'm scarred so I don't fuck with no bitch
You probably fucked him but I still won't let a hoe suck my dick
You got me fucking' up my song 'cause I'm so mad about the shit
I just got spirits on my phone, it ain't no human you bitch, haha

I don't fit right, anomalies
And I don't accept how you lyin' to me
And see yourself all in my dreams
Show you somethin' you never seen
I don't fit right, anomalies
And I don't accept how you lyin' to me

And see yourself all in my dreams
Show you somethin' you never seen

Overall Meaning

He talks about not accepting the lies that people tell him and not understanding certain things. In the chorus, he sings about showing someone something they've never seen before, possibly implying that he can offer something different or unique.
