All Good A Week Ago
Meek Mill Lyrics

Question what does an old head and a Young bull have in common?
What similarities do older and younger individuals share?

Know the answer, anbody's liable to snitch
If someone knows the answer, they might be inclined to inform others, potentially betraying trust.

Real niggas stand up Philly Flamers
Genuine individuals from Philadelphia rise up and represent proudly.

I said the feds gave my nigga brick Dime for an ounce of crack
The authorities charged my friend with a heavy sentence for a small amount of drugs.

And they gave my nigga a dub for a bird
They provided my friend with an even lighter punishment for a larger amount of drugs.

Stand up niggas caught their Cases took the time
Honorable people faced their legal issues and accepted their sentences.

Feds came to get them they Ain't say a fucking word
When the federal agents arrived, they remained silent and didn't disclose any information.

I know niggas that was OGs Ratted on their own team
I am acquainted with individuals who were respected elders but betrayed their own group.

Took their whole clique down time For them to sit down
They caused their entire crew to face consequences, requiring them to serve their sentences.

Same niggas acting tough tell them You a bitch now nigga used to do it big fuck 'em I'm the shit now real niggas stand up
These individuals who once acted tough should be aware that they are now insignificant, while I have become successful, so the genuine guys should rise up.

And if you did it then There's consequences nigga man up
If you committed a wrongdoing, be prepared to face the repercussions and take responsibility.

I remember them hungry day Cutting them grams up
I recall the days when we were desperate, dividing small amounts of drugs for sale.

I stack a couple hundreds just To save a grand up
I accumulate a few hundred dollars to save up a thousand.

From a hundred dollars to a hundred thousand
I went from having only a hundred dollars to accumulating a hundred thousand.

Get you a couple bricks flood The hood like public housing
If you obtain a few bricks of drugs, you can saturate the neighborhood, much like public housing.

I was in the stands just Watching like I was scouting
I observed from the sidelines, as if I were scouting for potential opportunities.

Pepping out all the players Balling Dion Waiters
Observing all the individuals involved, especially those balling like Dion Waiters.

Niggas in my hood are suckers beyond haters
People in my neighborhood are not only haters but also foolish individuals.

Act hard but melt faster than Now & Laters
They may act tough, but they crumble under pressure even quicker than Now & Laters candy.

I just take a point I grab my the nine later
I simply take a moment to assess the situation, then retrieve my firearm later.

Rules to the game laugh now and cry later
The rules of the game dictate that you may find temporary amusement, but you will face consequences eventually.

Live now and die later
Enjoy the present moment but be aware that death will come eventually.

Fast cars, fast bitches Live the fast life you better fall fast nigga
When you engage in a fast-paced lifestyle involving fast cars and women, be prepared to quickly fall from grace.

It ain't about who got the most It about who last nigga
Success is not determined by who has the most, but rather who can endure and last the longest.

And fuck a first place as long As I ain't last nigga and I'm in the race
Being in first place is irrelevant as long as I am not in last position and still actively participating.

I'm too hungry to let a nigga taste
I am too motivated and determined to allow someone else to succeed in my place.

You trying to reach catch them in your face
If you attempt to surpass me, expect to face the consequences head-on.

My niggas ride like it's the interstate
My friends ride with me as if we are racing on the highway.

It ain't my birthday I'm getting cake
Although it is not my birthday, I am still accumulating wealth.

I remember sitting in the cell Watching as my life replay
I recall being confined in a prison cell, observing my life story playing out.

Writing the feds got him up in VA
As I write this, the authorities have apprehended someone in Virginia.

And free my nigga Lil' they Got him upstate PA
I hope my friend Lil' gets released from the Pennsylvania state prison.

State gave my nigga Rick life Nineteen he ain't get to live half his life
The state sentenced my friend Rick to life imprisonment at the age of nineteen, depriving him of living even half of his life.

I was five I seen them Lock my dad casket tight
At the age of five, I witnessed my father's casket being closed securely.

And since then I've been clutching On the ratchet tight
Ever since that moment, I have held onto my weapon tightly for protection.

It was '05 moving birds Boston Market
In 2005, we were transporting drugs like birds, similar to Boston Market (a restaurant chain).

Boss of the corner chilling In my corner office it was all good
As the leader of the neighborhood, I relaxed in my corner office, enjoying a good situation.

Paper flowing like the Nile River
Money was abundant, flowing as freely as the Nile River.

Some young and wild niggas In the winter rocked the mink and in The summer dropped the top on 'em
During winter, reckless young individuals wore expensive mink coats, and during summer, they drove convertibles with the roof down.

Every other day different watch on 'em
They flaunted a new luxury watch almost every day.

They my niggas switched sides on me
My close friends betrayed me and aligned themselves with the opposing group.

Said they gon' ride on me Shot me in front of my son He was just five hommie
They claimed they would support and defend me, but instead, they shot me in front of my young son, who was only five years old.

Should've cause a nigga went insane
That action should have caused me to become mentally unstable.

Kingpins run the game nigga never been afraid
The most powerful individuals control the illegal activities, and I have never shown fear.

Bullet wounds still bleeding niggas Bang them niggas back
Despite being wounded by bullets, I retaliate against those who shoot at me.

Get rocks sold up that's how We live in this habitat
Dealing drugs is how we survive and make a living in this environment.

Never rat real deal, I was never an impostor
I have never betrayed my comrades and have always been authentic, never pretending to be someone else.

Cops sounding like Biggie Smalls Asking who shot you
The police interrogate me in a manner reminiscent of Biggie Smalls' song, asking who is responsible for shooting me.

Don't worry about it pig I'll handle my own
Don't concern yourself with it, officer. I am capable of handling my own affairs.

Call up bang on niggas like I'm alone
I call for backup and confront my enemies fearlessly, as if I am alone.

One minute you a kingpin chilling with a mink
One moment, you are a powerful figure relaxing in a luxurious mink coat.

Next you a convict washing Drawers in the sink
The next moment, you are a convicted criminal, reduced to washing your undergarments in the sink.

This the land of the homicide Where y'all about the dollar
We reside in a place where murders are frequent, and everyone is primarily concerned with acquiring money.

Most niggas here going to Die before their grandfather

People here act aggressively, similar to Rottweiler dogs, and due to a lack of resources, they cannot even take a hot shower.

Grab his 30 gage give a nigga hot shower

Cause they can't afford a burger Or a fucking Caesar Salad that's real
These individuals cannot even afford a basic hamburger or a Caesar salad, which reveals the harsh reality they face.
