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

Comme Des Garcons, she say she like on me
Flyer then a jet, baby, flyer than an eagle
Can I take you out tonight? Go get somethin' to eat
Sit and I'll tell you like, things you don't know about me
I'm like, "Babe, my grandma died, I was at a sleepover"
And I'm like, "Bae, I could have died that night my whip had flipped over"
Now I got grams like I'm Frank Matthews, jewelry weigh at least a kilo
Now, back to you, every time that I'm in it
Like a pool, she be wet inside
Tryna hit it like I want, but then I don't, 'cause I be too high
Feel expensive, I'll let you decide, 'cause this is I don't want jeopardize
Come lay me down, every day, I'm tired
Fuck these hoes, 'cause they be tellin' lies
Now I need a blueprint, is you all in?
I just gotta know, gotta know
Drugs got my mind clickin'
On my Kawaski, tryna do a heel-clicker
Down and out, got me feeling suicidal
Air Force 1, they custom-made
I'ma pull up thirty-thousand dollar Balmain jeans
Pull up with that blicky and it's tucked just like them beans (damn)
She don't like no dogs, but in here with a snake
Told her, "Motherfuck the blogs, just do what Top say"
Is it real, is it fake? I don't know, I can't tell
I'm just hopin' time worth it, I'm just hopin' we don't fail
I'm just tryna hold on, 'less the skies can't prevail
Insecure, feel I ain't worth ya, not enough for none of them
Ooh-ooh, do you hear me calling? Right now full of endo
Thirty minutes later, probably be outside your window
Throwin' rocks until you turn your light on and say, "Go home"
Don't know what the fuck is goin' on, were you expectin' me to go?
Fuck it, let me pack my clothes, right back to that murder zone
Fuck, I miss my grandad home, shouldn't have come up off the porch
Feel that I'm gon' die out here, all alone, and by myself
Her life got broke from life support
Her life got broke from life support
I say all my pain keep me goin', your love keep me calm
They gon' take it once they pull the cord
I call that life on life support (ooh)
They don't respect me no more, they don't love me no more
They ain't feelin' my songs, take my kids during the storm
They all gone, they done took my life support
I'm with the gang, on the block, in the trenches
I take you shoppin', alone up in Lenox
Take you to Shyne and flood your pendant
And spend straight dimes like fuck them pennies
She's a hypnotizin' demon-lover, so satanic
I say it back, and I take that rock from her
Demonic, so demonic
Straight from the block, on that bitch in the front, I'ma swerve
I ain't worried, I won't panic
Yeah, I was born and made it out, so yeah, I should lay down
Hope bro done made me settle down, but I can't
I dropped you off at mom's house
While me and my cousin try and take rank, bust brains
Catch one lack, hop out, take aim
God forbid if them niggas shoot back, and luckily just hit my brain
If I don't go in, Lord, please have mercy
Know that she gon' go insane
Mistreat a nigga, leave me, then they act like I'm the one to blame
Her life got broke from life support
Her life got broke from life support
I say all my pain keep me goin', your love keep me calm
They gon' take it once they pull the cord
I call that life on life support (ooh)
They don't respect me no more, they don't love me no more
They ain't feelin' my songs, take my kids during the storm
They all gone, they done took my life support

He starts by introducing himself as Lil Top and compares himself to the luxury brand Comme Des Garcons. He then talks about his desire to take someone out for dinner and share his life stories with them. He opens up about his grandmother's death during one of the sleepovers, and how he could have died when his whip flipped over. At the same time, he talks about his current success, how he's gained wealth through his music, and the expensive things he can now afford, like his custom-made Air Force 1s, Balmain jeans, and jewelry weighing a kilo.
YoungBoy then changes the focus to his personal life once again, talking about his insecurities and feelings of not being good enough for anyone. He seems to struggle with addiction and has moments of feeling suicidal, but he hopes that his relationship with this person who he is talking to will offer him some solace. However, he also understands that he's not perfect, and people, including his fans, are no longer as supportive of him as they used to be. He seems to feel that he has lost his support system and that his life is hanging on a life support machine. He fears that either someone will pull the cord or he will be taken away.
Overall, Life Support taps into the vulnerability and struggles that YoungBoy Never Broke Again goes through, despite his apparent success. He shares how he has faced many losses in his life, but still hopes to find some peace and support through his music and relationships.
