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.
Traumatized
Youngboy Never Broke Again Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm caught up in that fire
I swear I'm traumatized, caught in that fire
Lot of bullets flying, whole lot of people dying
I swear I'm traumatized, I'm hypnotized
Like I'm a reaper, I see blood when I open my eyes
Won't sacrifice my child, 2020 we all was dyin'
Hit the gas and I jump out the ride, I'm causin' suicide
Head on collision, collateral damage, I'm letting go of my pride
Percs and molly in my casket so I can roll in heaven
Get a bad bitch up out of Magic, need a ho in heaven
I need me a TEC and I need me a stick, have a shootout with the devil
No weed up in my kingdom, Ben said that he need a seven, let's go
Cheat on my girl, I'ma fuck on that ho
If I go broke I'ma stick up a store
If you got to school, go strapped with a pole
Better not let a nigga come step on you, no
Got brand new shoes, don't step on my toes
I'm ready to fight with a nigga or ho
I leave out the class 'cause I gotta go
I'm gettin' head in the bathroom
They always talk 'bout me, no they don't know 'bout me
Gotta pray before I sleep, the devil talk to me
Gotta get 'em out my dreams, 'fore he take over me
Get down on my knees, like Lord don't cancel chi
I swear I'm traumatized, caught in that fire
Lot of bullets flying, whole lot of people dying
I swear I'm traumatized, I'm hypnotized
Like I'm a reaper, I see blood when I open my eyes
Won't sacrifice my child, 2020 we all was dyin'
I'ma go fly high in the sky, take a thousand, I pop out his eyes
Hit the gas and I jump out the ride, I'm causin' suicide
Head on collision, collateral damage, I'm letting go of my pride
Traumatized since I was a boy
Hit the target, we don't shoot at cars
We'll shoot at 12, nigga fuck the law
Scream fuck 'em all, we forever ball
When I hit the head, watch the body fall
It's guns up when we involved
Thirty eight baby, keep my relover
Glizzy with a dick, that's the problem solver
Traumatized, traumatized, traumatized (traumatized)
Seen my main man commit suicide
It was right in front of my eyes, I couldn't even cry
To this day I don't know why, it's still eating my insides
We gon' stand tall, we don't play soft
Catch 'em down bad and shoot his face off
I been puttin' in overtime, nigga I'ma take off
Gotta get it every minute, we don't take no days off, oh
I swear I'm traumatized, caught in that fire
Lot of bullets flying, whole lot of people dying
I swear I'm traumatized, I'm hypnotized
Like I'm a reaper, I see blood when I open my eyes
Won't sacrifice my child, 2020 we all was dyin'
I'ma go fly high in the sky, take a thousand, I pop out his eyes
Hit the gas and I jump out the ride, I'm causin' suicide
Head on collision, collateral damage, I'm letting go of my pride
