Raised in the North Philadelphia section of the city with his sister and inspired by his mother and father; who died when he was five, Meek Mill began taking the rap game seriously at the age of 12 after losing a street battle to neighboring rappers. He says his desire to rap grew after watching his uncle Philly hip-hop pioneer Grandmaster Nell. While hanging out in his neighborhood, Meek met three guys and formed the group, “BloodHoundz,” which consisted of Mel Love, Dat Nigga Leel and Young Pooh. The group lasted for fives years and Meek ventured on his own.
With a solo career in tow, Meek became one of Philadelphia’s hottest underground rap artists on an independent label. In 2007, Meek debuted his Flamerz series, which stands for hottest songs and released his first mix tape, Flamerz 1, which featured the hit single, “In My Bag.”
In 2008, Meek debuted the highly anticipated Flamerz 2 –“Hottest In Da City,” which showcased more of his lyrical abilities with the singles, “So Fly,” “Prolli,” and “Hottest In Da City.” Upon release of Flamerz 2, it caught the attention of founder and President of 215Aphillyated Records, Charlie Mack. Mack was immediately impressed with Meek that he signed him to his management company. During the same year, he met the founder and owner of Grand Hustle, TI. TI was impressed with his lyrical ability that he offered him an opportunity to travel to Los Angeles to meet with him along with the Warner Brothers Records, within one week both record companies offered him a deal. Meek was overwhelmed by the offers; however, he felt collaborating with TI was an opportunity of a lifetime and chose his label. An ecstatic Meek was on top of the world; a record deal and the chance to work with one of hip hop’s greatest rappers and then a set back occurred. He was arrested, charged with a crime and order to serve seven months in jail.
Meek pre-released three singles from his third mix tape Flamerz 2.5 – “The Preview” in August of 2009, which featured the chart topping hits, “Make ‘Em Say,” “Imma Da Ish,” featuring Ms. Jade and “Starting Something,” in honor Michael Jackson. Within the first two weeks of its release, Clear Channel added it to their play list, which is an anomaly in the music business. In June of 2009, Meek began immediately working on his freshman album – Flamerz 3, “Hottest In America – Gangster Grill Edition,” hosted by DJ Drama and featuring the songs: “Baby Girl,” “Hottest In America,” and “I’m Killinem.” The highly anticipated cd is set to be released on January 19, 2010. Despite his stint in jail, Meek’s fans remained loyal, he currently boasts of 13 million hits on My Space and 20 million viewers on You Tube. Meek Mill has recently just signed to Rick Ross's Maybach Music Group.
In the future, Meek plans to establish the Meek Mill Foundation, which will mentor young males between the ages of 12-24 on the importance of “Education over Incarceration.” He gives a shoutout to the next artist coming up named shizz.. He also plans to collaborate with United Community Action Network and the Lifers of Graterford Prison to address the violence plaguing our cities.

2015 - BEEF WITH DRAKE
In July 2015 Meek attempted to air out Drake for "not writing his own raps" via popular social media site Twitter. These tweets resulted in a huge reaction from the hip hop community, however, the stunt went awry when Drake (Aubrey Graham) decided to respond. Drake released the diss track "Charged Up" during an Apple Music stream and an immediate response from Meek was demanded. Funkmaster Flex announced he would debut Meek's response live on Hot97. However, the track never came. After four days there was still no sign of a response from Meek, prompting Drake to release a second diss track "Back To Back." The response to this was huge and a harsh blow to Meek's career. Two days later Meek finally released "Wanna Know." This track received largely negative reviews and it was clear to most that Drake had won the beef. On August 2nd at the annual OVOfest, Drake truly roasted Meek Mill; performing "Back To Back" in front of various memes poking fun at Meek to a raucous Toronto crowd. Many fans believed this to be the nail in the coffin spelling the end for Meek's career.
Bad For You
Meek Mill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody has made me feel this way before
I'ma good girl
But I wanna be bad for you
I wanna be bad for you
I wanna be bad-ad-ad
I wanna be bad for you
I wanna be bad
And they say bad girls ain't no good
Good girls ain't no fun
I still can't find a nigga that touch that, no one
And I ain't searching for it
Never trust but I'm working on it
Fell in love with that raw game
Swimming pool you surfing on it
Like 'yonce do the surfboard, surfboard
They still think you a church girl
We linking up on your days off
And I still give you that work girl
Like work, twerk
Throw it like that video, wanted that for a long time
Cool with it I get it though
First year we both fronted
We had feelings we didn't show
Second year we couldn't hide it
Funny part they didn't know
How could something that's so wrong feel so right?
But who to tell you this wrong though? this your life
Word up
You bring a feeling to me I never show
Nobody has made me feel this way before
I'ma good girl
But I wanna be bad for you
I wanna be bad for you
I wanna be bad-ad-ad
I wanna be bad for you
I wanna be bad
We fucking up the city, going hard every night
Players hating on us, you know lord they ain't right
'Cause I broke a lot of hearts, ain't do them girls right
But you broke hearts too, but that boy ain't fight
So they don't deserve it, it feel like it's perfect
I'm loving your style the way you preserve it
You look at my eyes and see what's inside
You know that it's pride and know that I'm worth it
But said I ain't ready, baby I'm ready
Really I'm ready I'm ready like never before
I'ma just give you a key to my heart
You'll be the first that I let in the door
I used to hear that you flirt with them guys
They never would score
All you would hear about me was the women
Ain't trust them before
You know what you're doing, fuck what they said
You know what we on, when we in bed it's like we on stage
And I got the mic so let me perform
Sing it
You bring a feeling to me I never show
Nobody has made me feel this way before
I'ma good girl
But I wanna be bad for you
I wanna be bad for you
I wanna be bad-ad-ad
I wanna be bad for you
I wanna be bad

Like work, twerk

Throw it like that video, wanted that for a long time
I have wanted to have this kind of intimate relationship with you for a long time
Cool with it I get it though
I understand that we are not perfect and that our relationship has its flaws
First year we both fronted
In the beginning, we both tried to hide our true feelings from each other
We had feelings we didn't show
We were both harboring secret feelings for each other
Second year we couldn't hide it
As time went on, we both became more comfortable expressing our feelings for each other
Funny part they didn't know
It's amusing that others were not aware of our relationship
How could something that's so wrong feel so right?
Although our relationship may be frowned upon by others, it feels right to us
But who to tell you this wrong though? this your life
Ultimately, it is our decision how we choose to live our lives and who we choose to love
We fucking up the city, going hard every night
We are having a great time and making a lot of noise in the city
Players hating on us, you know lord they ain't right
Other men who are jealous of our relationship are speaking poorly about us
'Cause I broke a lot of hearts, ain't do them girls right
I have hurt other women in the past by not treating them well
But you broke hearts too, but that boy ain't fight
You have also broken hearts in the past, but no one ever fought for those girls
So they don't deserve it, it feel like it's perfect
We don't owe those other people anything, and our relationship feels perfect to us
I'm loving your style the way you preserve it
I am attracted to your way of life and how you maintain yourself
You look at my eyes and see what's inside
You can see my true self when you look into my eyes
You know that it's pride and know that I'm worth it
You recognize my self-respect and believe that I am deserving of a good relationship
But said I ain't ready, baby I'm ready
Although I may have said I am not ready for something serious, I am ready for a committed relationship with you
Really I'm ready I'm ready like never before
I am more ready than ever to be with you in a serious way
I'ma just give you a key to my heart
I am ready to fully commit myself to you
You'll be the first that I let in the door
You will be the first person that I truly let into my heart
I used to hear that you flirt with them guys
I have heard rumors that you flirt with other men
They never would score
But those men were never able to actually win you over
All you would hear about me was the women
All people talked about when it came to me was my past relationships with women
Ain't trust them before
I did not trust those women before, but I trust you
You know what you're doing, fuck what they said
You are confident in yourself and our relationship, regardless of what others may say
You know what we on, when we in bed it's like we on stage
Our sexual chemistry is powerful and intense, and it feels like a performance
And I got the mic so let me perform
I am in control during our intimate moments, and I want to show you what I can do
Sing it
Let's continue enjoying this amazing relationship and having fun together
