NBA YoungBoy takes a moment to reflect on his latest release, “Tears Of War”.

Over Rick Ross and Cee-Lo Green’s “Tears Of Joy”, YoungBoy Never Broke Again opens up on his mental state and brings some of his most personal lyrics to date.

“I ain’t lying to my wife, she ain’t try me, I took her clothes off / Sherhonda know I love her but cuss her because my soul gone,” raps NBA over No I.D.’s soulful beat. “I begged her for to move when I told her I’m getting ’em rolled on / I’m addicted like my cousin Meechy, I get my roll on / All these fucking cars, can’t drive, I keep my feelings disguised / Scared to vent to Yaya, but I could talk to my guys / Floyd against me, he the only reason that I stopped trying / We ‘posed to all be aligned, I keep my head to the sky.”

The deeply confessional track underscores the psychological toll of his heavily publicized house arrest in Utah. Forced to find distractions within the walls of his sprawling estate, he paints a vivid picture of a superstar trying to simulate the adrenaline of his past life. Whether he is dropping staggering sums at a casino online, purchasing fleets of customized luxury vehicles that he legally cannot drive, or deliberately icing out his inner circle, the lyrics capture a man suffocating under his own success. Despite his recent prescription drug charge in April, YoungBoy remains remarkably prolific, recently appearing on tracks alongside T.I. to Sean Kingston.
