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 ↴
Hope I die in love, I just do it
(DY definitely Krazy)
Yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, ayy
Nights, I'm energized
And she know I won't be with her, but she wanna waste my time
I can't hold her when I sleep with her, the fact that I'm so slime
And she know I'm a real Don Dada, check out how you do me
This feelin' it ain't right, girl, you might as well just shoot me
I backed off from the hype peddlin', noticed they just use me
I know that they don't love me at all, they don't approve me
I expect you to be here for me
I expect you to be there when I'm lonely
I can't risk, how you ridin' for me
Not impressed 'til you all up on me
Yeah, ah
When I'm lonely, yeah, ah, hmm
Yeah, ah
When I'm lonely, yeah, ah, hmm
If I wouldn't have came up, you won't even hide her
She was a goblin and ain't no one advise me
You ask, I keep it gutta, you can't say you ever caught me
I can't drive and shoot this cutta (skrrt), you better buss if they pull on side me (bap, bap)
I need, you to get that bag approved to get that Rolls Royce
Inside me, a cold heart, don't care 'bout what these hoes thought (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Too many times, I move, been a victim of who can't play they part
Played my cards, in that push to start

Always ridin' alone, gon' be the same when I leave you
And this time I'm on, make me insane and I can't be with them
Time out, calm down, I don't wanna do this with you
Lash out then I'm wrong, I ain't paintin' that picture
Yeah, ah
When I'm lonely, yeah, ah, hmm

Nights, I'm energized
Walk 'round with my head down, my route in my mind
And she know I won't be with her, but she wanna waste my time
I can't hold her when I sleep with her, the fact that I'm so slime
And she know I'm a real Don Dada, check out how you do me
This feelin' it ain't right, girl, you might as well just shoot me

I expect you to be there when I'm lonely
I can't risk, how you ridin' for me
Not impressed 'til you all up on me
The lyrics to YoungBoy Never Broke Again's song "I Expect You" express the rapper's desire for genuine love and companionship. He begins by stating that he would rather die in love than without it. This sets the tone for the rest of the song as he discusses his experiences with women who waste his time and don't truly care about him. He admits to being a player and not being able to hold a woman when he sleeps with her due to his "slimy" nature. Despite this, he still wants someone to be there for him and to ride for him, someone who is genuinely impressed by him and not just when he's on top.
The chorus of the song, "I expect you to be here for me, I expect you to be there when I'm lonely," emphasizes this desire for companionship and loyalty. He is tired of being surrounded by people who only want to use him for his fame and success. He acknowledges that sometimes he lashes out and is wrong, but ultimately wants someone who will understand and stand by him.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a man searching for something real and meaningful in a world where it seems like everyone just wants to take advantage of him. The chorus serves as a plea for someone to be there for him even when he is at his lowest.

Nights, I'm energized
I feel most alive at night
Walk 'round with my head down, my route in my mind
I walk around with my head down, thinking about the path I'm on in my life
And she know I won't be with her, but she wanna waste my time
She knows I don't want to be with her, but she still wants to waste my time
I can't hold her when I sleep with her, the fact that I'm so slime
I can't hold her when I sleep with her because I am a player
And she know I'm a real Don Dada, check out how you do me
She knows I am a boss, so she should know better than to treat me poorly
This feelin' it ain't right, girl, you might as well just shoot me
This feeling I have inside is so wrong, it's like she might as well just shoot me
I backed off from the hype peddlin', noticed they just use me
I stopped getting caught up in the hype and realized that they were just using me
I know that they don't love me at all, they don't approve me
I know they don't really love me, they don't even approve of who I am
I expect you to be here for me
I expect you to be there for me when I need you
I expect you to be there when I'm lonely
I need you to be there when I feel alone
I can't risk, how you ridin' for me
I can't take the risk of not knowing whether or not you're really there for me
Not impressed 'til you all up on me
I'm not impressed with anyone until they're really there for me

They know I be wildin', from my mama house, I shot a nigga

And I'm in this bitch, I whacked that bitch but innocent

Try to fight me, I'ma pop you daddy

[Chorus]
This choppa came automatic
Red flag, you know the business
Pop his ass, we drop his ass
That be that green flag activity
All these niggas talkin' 'bout killin' me

They know I been a murder mane
We bust his brain, jump in that water
