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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna waste no more, oh
I don't wanna no more
Fuck how they feeling, ain't changin' my living on top of the continent, yeah
Sit in the back with them killers, we find where they be and we run in it, yeah
Came from the bottom, my nigga, my life a nightmare and it's hauntin' me, yeah
Came with that fire, then we stayed with the shit, I'm on go, taking nothin' from me (yeah)
They lovin' a demon with money, a demon with nothin' wouldn't fuck with me
Fake love been taking a toll, it's comin' out ugly
Ain't trustin' who close, they plannin' on touchin' me
I know they don't fuck with a nigga, gon' stay down until they come up off me
Yeah
I'm a reaper, demon
In all type of frames (mmm)
In all types of ways
Sleeping, riding
Riding like a big mon
Fuck how they feeling, ain't changin' my living on top of the continent, yeah
Sit in the back with them killers, we find where they be and we run in it, yeah
Since a child, prepare for to come to this
Give my heart and just leave with this money, bitch
Pack it all, then go back to my mama shit (mama)
Young nigga too rich for that
Ho, you know you ain't shit for that
I don't wanna play no get back (nah)
I wasn't on no drugs
Tell them niggas that it's fuck 'em and I meant that
Came to the Maybach or the Lamb', I ain't rent that
Talkin' out his mind, drop a bag on his bitch ass
She feelin' him, let him leave with that stank ho (let him leave)
Front Street, I'm on trial on the front row
Mama looking down 'cause she knowin' that I can't go
Got my son lookin' at me while I make this song
On this bus, I ain't touring, tryna make it home
.45 cocked back, split a nigga dome (bah)
I just heard we made a stop, J, hold on
I'm a reaper (yeah, I'm back now), demon
(J, bitch, I really thought we had we had niggas to step out)
In all type of frames, reaper

Reaper
(I know you don't like it no more than my fans, go)
In all types of ways
Sippin' that drank, ran out of pint, I need another one
Never gon' sink, that money comin' as is fast it went
Niggas could diss, but let 'em talk 'cause they ain't runnin' nothin'
Red eye on them sticks, straight in the ditch, I'm probably runnin' somethin'
Villa Del Rey Elementary when them bricks dropped off
Geezy steady boomin' so I'm posted on call
Nigga hit the line saying, "Green gang fall"
Pounds now
I'm stressin', it's making me angry, now she wanna leave me now
I came from the North, I was stayin' with my grandaddy, I'm alone right now
My past, they ever throw it at me, I'll never look back it
Mama used to rap so it made me wanna snag at it
Only time I had a graduation, I was sad at it (yeah)
What you on, foe?
Reaper, demon
All type of ways
All type of frames
Sippin' that drank, ran out of pint, I need another one
Never gon' sink, that money comin' as is fast it went
Niggas could diss, but let 'em talk 'cause they ain't runnin' nothin'
Red eye on them sticks, straight in the ditch, I'm probably runnin' somethin'
Villa Del Rey Elementary when them bricks dropped off
Geezy steady boomin' so I'm posted on call
