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.

YoungBoy Never Broke Again Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you can't treat me right
I clearly see bitches ain't shit
They just want see me cry
Young nigga rollin'
Keep that Glock 'cause shit ain't
Safe out at night
I say the money and betrayal
Lies, that's what they told me
I never asked for shit at night
Only for you to hold me
I did it out of love, baby
Never said you owed me
Now I don't wanna fuck with you
It's gonna kill me slowly
Straight out that north, I made it out
Don't mix me in the shit they say
My feelings fallin', money callin'
How we movin', shit ain't safe
I'm roamin' through LA alone with
A burner on my waist
At night, I pray I make it home
Them pussy boys know where I stay
Might jump the gate
But fuck that, I'm strapped up
Ain't worried 'bout nothin'
Somethin' must be in them nigga's
Head wrong if they thinkin'
I ain't clutchin'
Can't take cover when I start bustin'
Leave 'em like one said they love me
Patrol still wanna cuff me
No love for one, say fuck me
You supposed to be the one I run to
But you ain't 'round
Never knew to succumb to, I don't know how
I lost my love for that dream and I
Don't know if it could be found
You always bringin' some shit up
Never once tried to put you down
She said that money ain't worth nothin'
If you can't treat me right
I clearly see bitches ain't shit
They just want see me cry
Young nigga rollin'
Keep that Glock 'cause shit ain't
Safe out at night
I say the money and betrayal
Got my mind hypnotized
One person I'm lovin' nobody I'm trustin'
Straight out of them trenches, I'm thuggin'
To me you the world
But I never could tell you
Wasn't keepin' it real
You was billing your budget
You see me with bitches you
Think that I cherish
You ask them a question
They can't tell you nothin'
Bad news and it's comin' out ugly
Truth be told, you was plottin' on somethin'
Money mean nothin' when you
Really love someone
How I be livin' take up time and
We could have a one on one
And fuckin' off ain't that important
When you really for someone
I'm scared to open up my heart
I always been so nonchalant
I just wanna live with you, build
With you, smoke with you, yeah
I know you think the shit I say
But you just wanna misuse me and lie
Said that I ain't never cared
You left yo' diary by the bed
She said that money ain't worth nothin'
If you can't treat me right
I clearly see bitches ain't shit
They just want see me cry
Young nigga rollin'
Keep that Glock 'cause shit ain't
Safe out at night
I say the money and betrayal
Got my mind hypnotized
She said that money ain't worth nothin'
If you can't treat me right
I clearly see bitches ain't shit
They just want see me cry
Young nigga rollin'
Keep that Glock 'cause shit ain't
Safe out at night
I say the money and betrayal
Got my mind hypnotized
The lyrics to YoungBoy Never Broke Again's song "Hypnotized" delve into themes of betrayal, love, and the corrupting influence of money. In the first verse, the singer reflects on the superficiality of money and how it holds no value if it doesn't come with kindness and respect. He expresses his realization that many women are only interested in seeing him suffer, emphasizing the lack of genuine connection in his relationships.
Moving on to the second verse, the singer acknowledges the lies he has been told and how he never asked for much except for emotional support and affection. He explains that he did everything out of love, not expecting anything in return. However, the betrayal and lack of reciprocation have taken a toll on him, draining his desire to continue the relationship. He talks about his tough upbringing, how he made it out of a dangerous environment, and how he refuses to be associated with the negativity that others spread. Despite the challenges he faces, he remains armed and cautious due to the unsafe nature of his surroundings.
The chorus reinforces the notion that money and betrayal have hypnotized his mind. It suggests that the pursuit of wealth often leads to deceit and heartache. The second verse continues with the singer expressing his love for someone, but also acknowledging that he cannot trust anyone fully. He mentions how his partner misconstrues his interactions with other women, leading to conflicts. He laments the fact that he has opened up his heart and been met with manipulation and lies. There is a desire to have a genuine and loving relationship, but fear and past experiences have made him guarded and nonchalant.
Overall, "Hypnotized" explores the effects of money and betrayal on personal relationships, highlighting the difficulties of finding genuine love and trust in a world filled with superficiality and deception.

She said that money ain't worth nothin'
She expressed that money holds no value or importance
If you can't treat me right
When you fail to treat me properly
I clearly see bitches ain't shit
I have come to the realization that certain women are not trustworthy
They just want see me cry
Their only desire is to witness my vulnerability and pain
Young nigga rollin'
As a young man, I am thriving and moving forward
Keep that Glock 'cause shit ain't
I carry a firearm for my personal safety
Safe out at night
It is not secure to be out during nighttime
I say the money and betrayal
The combination of money and deceit
Got my mind hypnotized
Has deeply captivated my thoughts and emotions
One person I'm lovin' nobody I'm trustin'
I only love one person and trust no one else
Straight out of them trenches, I'm thuggin'
Emerging from a difficult environment, I am surviving through street life
To me you the world
You mean the entire world to me
But I never could tell you
However, I was unable to express it to you
Wasn't keepin' it real
I was not being genuine or honest
You was billing your budget
You were selfishly prioritizing your own financial interests
You see me with bitches you
Observing me with other women, you
Think that I cherish
Assume that I hold them dear to my heart
You ask them a question
You inquire about them
They can't tell you nothin'
They are unable to provide any valuable information
Bad news and it's comin' out ugly
Negative information is surfacing, and it's not pleasant
Truth be told, you was plottin' on somethin'
To tell the truth, you were scheming or planning something
Money mean nothin' when you
Money holds no significance when you
Really love someone
Genuinely care for someone
How I be livin' take up time and
The lifestyle I lead consumes time and
We could have a one on one
We could have some personal time together
And fuckin' off ain't that important
Engaging in frivolous activities is not a priority
When you really for someone
When you genuinely care about someone
I'm scared to open up my heart
I am afraid to expose my emotions and vulnerability
I always been so nonchalant
My attitude has always been indifferent or casual
I just wanna live with you, build
I simply desire to reside with you and create a joint future
With you, smoke with you, yeah
I want to share experiences and indulge in recreational activities
I know you think the shit I say
I understand that you believe the things I express
But you just wanna misuse me and lie
However, you only intend to take advantage of me and deceive
Said that I ain't never cared
Stated that I have never shown concern or care
You left yo' diary by the bed
You accidentally left your personal journal near the bed
