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 ↴
Run the game, old pussy ass boy
YoungBoy who you talkin' ′bout? I don't wanna talk
Won't speak on nothin′, I′m too official (too official)
I heard your niggas let them choppers off, strictly 'bout beef
I go to war with any nigga (any nigga)
I heard ′em say that they want smoke with us, ain't got no name
I bet a nigga ain't gon′ fuck with us, so what you sayin', it's up?
It′s up, I′ll step on any nigga (any nigga)
I go hop in the rental, with two choppers and the glizzy
If they say that they want smoke
When I catch 'em I hop out and zip ′em
You around then you turn to a victim
When I up it I'm shooting civilians
I can bet my whole bank, that′s on my name, I'ma kill ′em
38 North Side where we at (North Side)
NBA, double G, I bleed that (we don't hide)
Boy your trap same place where you creep at (where you creep)
'Til we shoot everyone, we ain′t leavin′
Want blood like I'm a demon, can′t wait 'til I get me a reason
Shoot him in his head, leave him for dead
Hop in the whip and we leavin′
I live the life of a villian, you lil' niggas be the nemesis
I heard these niggas ain′t feelin' this
Like a reaper I be killin' shit
Chief Keef, we be drillin′ shit
Said that they ′bout it, they want it with us
When I catch him I'm a split his shit
Put that on my body, ain′t steppin' on nothin′
YoungBoy who you talkin' ′bout? I don't wanna talk
Won't speak on nothin′, I′m too official (too official)
I heard your niggas let them choppers off, strictly 'bout beef
I go to war with any nigga (any nigga)
I heard ′em say that they want smoke with us, ain't got no name
What you sayin′? I run with cold blooded killers (blooded killers)
I bet a nigga ain't gon′ fuck with us, so what you sayin', it's up?
It′s up, I′ll step on any nigga (any nigga)
Niggas say that they want it, you know I ain't quittin′
I brought the TEC, it's repeatedly spittin′
Fuck the police, I'ma walk with that glizzy
Said they want beef and you know that I′m with it
If we want to kill him you know he gon' get it
Step on that boy, you know that it's history
He say that it′s up and you know we gon′ bill it
Bust at that boy and shoot 'til it′s empty
Thug on my own, the target I hit it
Whole lot of aim, you know I ain't missin′
Swear it's a shame, these niggas be snitchin′
Fuck all that shit, bitch we steady be killin'
Whole lot of money, I steady be stealin'
38 Baby, I′m a juvenile
400 Degreez like Juvenile
I′m forever runnin' wild
YoungBoy who you talkin′ 'bout? I don′t wanna talk
Won't speak on nothin′, I'm too official (too official)

The lyrics of Youngboy Never Broke Again’s song “Track 8” speak of violence and a readiness to engage in a “war” with any opponent. The singer of the song announces that their opposites do not talk about him, and that he is running the game. He goes on to announce that he is too official and will not speak on anything. The song also features lyrics that speak on the use of firearms and the desire to kill when the singer is given a reason. The singer is ready to use any means to achieve their goal, including catching an opponent and shooting them.
The lyrics display a level of defiance and aggression that is common in rap music. The use of profanity and violent imagery can be seen as a reflection of the harsh realities faced by many young people living in poverty-stricken areas. The singer’s readiness to engage in violence can be seen as an attempt to assert his masculinity and dominance in a society that often overlooks those who are perceived as weaker. Furthermore, his use of words such as "cold blooded killers" and "villains" depict him as part of a group that considers violence a necessity in the pursuit of their goals.
