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 β38 Baby.β
Shortly after the success of β38 Babyβ 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 βUntouchableβ which is one of his biggest hits to date. Following the release of βUntouchable,β YoungBoy released AI YoungBoy on August 4, 2017.
Later on, in 2017 YoungBoy ended the year by dropping Ainβt 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 βDrawing Symbols,β βLil Top,β βHouse Arrest Tingzβ and βAroundβ. 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, YoungBoyβs team released the rapperβs 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 βBring The Hook,β and βFish Scale.β These songs would soon appear on YoungBoyβs 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 Durkβs βAHHH HA,β to YoungBoyβs βI Hate YoungBoyβ β both regarding the death of King Von.
Following his hastily start to 2022, YoungBoy would partner up with DaBaby to present the duoβs joint mixtape, BETTER THAN YOU in March. The mixtape would later peak at #10 on the Billboard 200, this would mark YoungBoyβs 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 YoungBoyβs 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 Maβ I Got A Family.
Through Billboard, on October 24, 2022, it was announced that following YoungBoyβs departure from Atlantic Records, beginning 2023, he would release music under a joint venture deal between his own Never Broke Again and Motown Records.

I'll never forget bout what you what you told me
Shit hurt so deep can't lie you showed but I'ma run my bands up
Fuck everybody that had changed up
Shit I remember we ain't had nun, look what we done came from
I heard somebody said they said something
What the fuck you mean these niggas can't tell me nun
Look where we came from
What the fuck you mean these niggas can't tell me nun
I never forget what papa told me
This shit ain't nothing like the old days
I'll never go back to my old ways, all the lies they told me
Thought you was true but shid you showed me
I was 1hunnit you weren't real with me
Got time for the think and I thought about it
I gotta watch who I bring around me
After all this shit ion't trust nobody
Call up my phone tryna come around me
In the Maybach alone ion't need nobody
Go watch for myself ion't need nobody
Go hard in the booth when I get inside it
Turn up in this bitch I'm in full throttle
Know I'm blessed but I'm sick of the fame
To tell the truth you ain't feeling my pain
Whole lot of money for my chain, I just charge it to the game
Go above and beyond for my gang
Send a shot through the dash in the lane
All the shit they done said, you know I ain't forget a thang
Did me
I'll never forget bout what you what you told me
Shit hurt so deep can't lie you showed but I'ma run my bands up
Fuck everybody that had changed up
Shit I remember we ain't had nun, look what we done came from
I heard somebody said they said something
What the fuck you mean these niggas can't tell me nun
Look where we came from
I heard somebody said they said something
What the fuck you mean these niggas can't tell me nun
Aye youngboy
When it's cloudy I'm still shining, raining I'm still stunting
Time wait for nobody, all day gettin' that money
Scared to trust somebody baby look what you done, done me
That shit I don't acknowledge
Check out while I'm comin'
They called me broke now I'm poppin' shit, they treated me like I wasn't shit
Now my neck full of Cuban links these niggas see that I'm havin' shit
They criticizing motivated me
This for the ones betrayed me
This for the ones who hated me
Now you gotta pay just to see me bitch
Did me
I'll never forget bout what you what you told me
Shit hurt so deep can't lie you showed but I'ma run my bands up
Fuck everybody that had changed up
Shit I remember we ain't had nun, look what we done came from
I heard somebody said they said something
What the fuck you mean these niggas can't tell me nun
Look where we came from
I heard somebody said they said something
What the fuck you mean these niggas can't tell me nun
Aye youngboy
In βCame From,β YoungBoy Never Broke Again presents a story of personal growth and overcoming adversity. The opening lyrics suggest that someone close to him has hurt him, and he won't forget their actions or words. However, through his pain, YoungBoy asserts that he will continue to build his wealth and success for himself. He also notes that he has learned to be cautious about who he brings into his life.
The next section of the song reflects on the wisdom he received from his father, who warned him that the world is not like it used to be. The phrase "all the lies they told me" suggests that people have deceived him before. YoungBoy also chastises someone who he believed was "fake" with him. In the chorus, he remembers where he came from, which could signify his humble beginnings and the struggles he has faced. He emphasizes that he won't let anyone else dictate his life by saying, "these niggas can't tell me nun."
The third verse highlights his hard work and success despite the odds. He mentions how people used to call him "broke," but now he has Cuban links on his neck, indicating his wealth. He draws motivation from those who criticized him and speaks directly to those who betrayed and hated him. In the end, he asserts that he is unstoppable and that anyone who wants to see him has to pay for it.
Overall, the song appears to be about YoungBoy's triumph over hardship and adversity. He acknowledges the pain he has endured and warns against those who might take advantage of him. However, he also stresses that he won't let anyone bring him down; instead, he will continue to grow and become more successful.
