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.
Im Good
Meek Mill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I lost ‘em i'm taking everything –
Everything but precaution
Your bitches wanna call us
And text us like Austin pussy make me hard
Pussy niggas make me nauseous
I've been on my feet since
The day I started walking
Put the nail in the coffin
See coke in a drought
Sell pussy at an auction
Bullets got a nigga runnin' fast
Enough to race horses
‘Round here, you sniff these lines
You don't cross ‘em
Kill your ass and leave you behind
Like an orphan
I swear it happens all the time, very often
Still gettin' baseball money, Barry Larkin
‘Round here we play for keeps
Yeah we eatin' but we starvin'
I get me a little money
Try to spread it like margarine
I'm flyer than a motherfucker
All my flights chartered
Green kush, red flag, black car, white lawyer
I'm good
I say, i go in in my beast mode
– rappin' niggas I eat those
I tell a bitch take a deep breath then
Bend her knees like a free throw
I don't want me no good girl
I fell in love with these freak hoes
In my bedroom, I'll make a movie
It's starring me with that Lee Rose
I ball hard like D-rose, my stash on closet
Racks in my pocket, these racks I deposit
Got racks on my conscious, money on my mind
I've got shooters on my team
They've got bodies on their nines
Look at that bad bitch right there –
See that body on that dime?
I ain't swimming in no hoe
You know I'm probably on that grind
All these niggas hatin' on me, me –
But I ain't on that time, time
I be in that back, nigga
And I ain't talkin' 'bout swine
I'm talkin' 62 West
They say a nigga too fresh
You a rat, your homie singing
You should do a duet
Shorty say she love my swag
I make that pussy too wet
You niggas banned, and my hoes
And I'm like "why'd they do that? " go!
Um, I don't have a conscious –
All my friends are monsters
They visit me so constant and
Talk to me about nonsense
Like stabbing you and then watching you fight
For your life like you boxing
Bitch, deuce-deuce – I smoke that OG killer
Bobby Johnson
I'll ollie over that bitch's head
It's Hollygrove 'til I'm fuckin' dead
I did a bid for that toast, so fuck with me
I'll treat you like buttered bread
But I still go hard with no
Regard – Earth Day? Shit, bitch, go to Mars
Leave a nigga dead in the gutter
I just beat him with
A bloody-ass bowling ball
I'm fresh as hand sanitizer –
Don't hate the game, just analyze it
Two Xanax, i'm fantasizing about fat
Bitches' panty sizes
Took a bullet to the chest? Be a man about it
Stop actin' like a little bitch, nigga
Most of y'all niggas is bitch niggas
I got a tiger in the basement, Big Tigger
My hair long and my dick big
My hair long and my dick big
My hair long and my dick big
My money long and my weed strong
I feed hunger
I no longer get my weed from Fee
I pull that freedom off my waist
Now watch me let freedom ring (ding)

Line by Line Meaning
Everything I said I do, I did
I have followed through on everything I have said I would do
I'm good, I'm good
I am doing well and don't need any help or assistance
Baby lets face it, I'm not into dating
I am not interested in romantic relationships at the moment
I haven't been patient
I have not been willing to wait for anything
Ever since I been famous my time has been racing
Since becoming famous, time seems to be passing by quickly
My motives are basic, this life I been chasing
My goals are simple and revolve around my pursuit of success
These hearts I been breaking (Sorry)
I regret hurting people as a result of my actions
And these girls I been tasting don't never get naked
I have been with women who are not willing to fully engage in sexual activity
They like it in a head lock fuck them from behind
The women I have been with enjoy rough sex
Fuck them with their clothes on, put it to the side
I have had sex with women while they were still wearing clothing
Feelings to the side like a Don do
I have ignored my emotions in order to pursue my goals
Get 'em wet, let it slide like a sunroof
I have engaged in sexual activity with women and let their pleasure take over
Got goals, got dreams
I have ambitions and aspirations
Got a hotel, Crib
I have a luxurious living space
Got niggas that'll die for the prince
I have loyal friends who would do anything for me
Got my city on lock, XO till the death
I am well-respected in my hometown and loyal to my label, XO
Left town in a coach came back in a jet
I have achieved significant success and my lifestyle has improved dramatically
This is dedicated to everybody who forgot
This song is for those who have forgotten about me or underestimated me
Forgive 'em motherfuckers
I am choosing to forgive those who have wronged me
Remember, don't you remember?
I want people to remember what I have accomplished and what I am capable of
I been good, we good
I am doing well and want to spread that positivity to others
