Save Me
Meek Mill Lyrics

I fell in love with these streets, I seen a hundred thou'
I became infatuated with the lifestyle of the streets after seeing fast money.

Started fuckin' bad bitches, I went running wild (gone)
I became reckless and began associating with promiscuous women.

I just pray Papi forgive me, ain't seen my son a while (I pray)
I am remorseful for the time I have spent away from my son and ask for forgiveness.

I go and pick him up from school to see him fucking smile (facts)
Seeing my son's smile is the most rewarding thing and is what motivates me to work hard.

Somebody save me, save me
I am feeling lost and helpless and need someone to rescue me.

Tryna please a bitch, it almost drove me crazy
I was trying too hard to win over a girl and it began to take a toll on my mental health.

I was breakin' bread with niggas that was shady
I was sharing money and resources with untrustworthy people.

I said I would never change but shit it changed me
I used to believe that I would never stray from my values, but the lifestyle of the streets has altered my character.

Twenty-three and one, it almost drove me crazy
Being isolated in a cell for 23 hours a day almost caused me to lose my mind.

In a cell all alone, can't let it phase me
Although I am alone and imprisoned, I cannot let the experience defeat me.

I just wanna make it home to see my baby
The thing that drives me the most is the desire to reunite with my child.

Bustin' choppers, sellin' dope, I went to runnin' wild
I became reckless and began engaging in dangerous activities like selling drugs and using firearms.

Threw a drum up in my forty, shoot a hundred times
I went to the extreme and became overly-violent.

Two hundred thou' my cousin's case to see his daughter smile
I spent a significant amount of money to help my cousin's legal situation so he could see his child again.

All this lean and all these Percs gon' drive me crazy
The use of drugs is beginning to have a negative impact on my mental health.

I see niggas switchin' sides like they KD
People around me are changing allegiances like professional basketball player Kevin Durant.

I can't let it kill my vibe 'cause I'm too wavy
I refuse to let the changes around me negatively affect my positive attitude.

This what I wanted, I'ma own it
I am taking ownership of my choices and actions in the hopes of achieving my goals.

Anything I ever said I'm standing on it
I am holding myself accountable to my promises and words.

Got my dog in the feds, he turned informant
A friend of mine was incarcerated and became an informant.

I just pray that he don't say some shit to harm us
I am worried about what my former friend might reveal to the authorities.

One time my dog tried to line me, he must've lost his mind
There was a time where my former friend tried to set me up, which I found insane.

When he know how we get down when niggas cross the line
My friend was aware of the consequences of betraying me and putting me and my associates in danger.

And I hate to be the one that gotta call his mom
If I or other associates were to react violently to his betrayal, I would have to deliver the devastating news to his mother.

That money mix up with that greed, it happen all the time
The pursuit of money often leads to greed and can result in negative consequences.

If I can't trust you, it's fuck you
If someone has proven to be untrustworthy, I no longer want to associate with them.

Know that money ain't a thang, I tell 'em touch you
Money is not worth compromising my values or potentially putting myself in danger.

Know them boys gon' bust your brain, I push a button
I have associates who are willing to use violence to protect me and my interests if necessary.

To make it home to see my son, know I'm gon' crush you
My primary goal is to return home to be with my child and I will do whatever it takes to achieve that.

'Cause that's important, to keep it one hundred
Prioritizing my family is what matters most to me and I will always remain honest and true to myself.

I just wanna make it home to see my youngin (Papi)
The desire to see my son is what fuels my motivation to work hard and make positive changes in my life.

Move my family out the ghetto all I wanted
I dream of giving my family a better life by moving them out of the low-income neighborhood.

Left me dancing with the devil, chasing this money (Amen)
The pursuit of money often leads to involvement in illegal activities and associating with undesirable people.

And I'm so tired of makin' moves and gotta keep the tool
I am tired of being in a situation where I must keep a weapon on me in order to protect myself and my interests.

Gotta hide it from my son, I pick him up from school
I must keep my weapon hidden from my child when I pick him up from school.

With them papers with it, some would tell me I'm a fool
Although I carry my weapon for protection, some people think it is foolish and dangerous to have it on me.

But all these hating niggas wanna see me on the news
There are people who dislike me and want to see me in a negative light on the news.

And they debating on a nigga if I'm gon' win or lose
People are gossiping and speculating about my future success or failure.

'Bout this paper I seen real niggas forget the rules
In the pursuit of money, even people who were once trustworthy can become unscrupulous and forget their values.

And I can't trust these bitches, I know they gon' pick and choose
I have a hard time trusting women as they often have their own motivations and can be selective with who they align themselves with.

No I can't trust these bitches, I know they gon' pick and choose (Amen)
The fact that I cannot trust certain women is a recurring theme that affects my relationships and decisions.
