Who Your Around
Meek Mill Lyrics

One night I prayed to God
The singer prayed to God one night.

I asked could he please remove the enemies from my life
The singer asked God to remove their enemies from their life.

And before you know it I started losing friends
Soon after, the singer started losing friends.

Somebody who you're around wants to clip your wings and shoot you down
The artist warns that someone close to you may want to harm or sabotage you.

But its okay to keep enemies close
The artist says it's fine to stay close to your enemies.

As long as you know, just make sure you know who you're around
They suggest being aware of who you keep close to you.

Y'all was like my brothers
The singer thought of their friends as close as family.

I considered y'all as folks
They considered their friends as part of their community.

And I remember nights sipping liquor making toasts
They reminisce about having fun times with their friends.

Talking about the life, trying to get it slinging dope
They discuss having aspirations of making it in the drug dealing business.

Niggas say I changed, but you niggas changed first
Their friends accused the singer of changing, but the singer believes their friends changed first.

And fuck all this money nigga, we was fam first
The artist prioritizes family and friendship over money.

Looking at me balling, know that Instagram hurt
Their friends feel jealous seeing the singer's success on social media.

'Cause you was supposed to be that nigga in that damn Ghost
One of their friends was expected to get rich with the singer.

I would have rolled for you even in the same Hearst
The singer would have been loyal even in dangerous situations with their friend.

Same cemetery, bury me in the same dirt
The artist expresses loyalty and closeness to their friend, even in death.

We had a plan, but I guess it ain't work
Their plan of getting rich didn't work out.

"B.H we straight," that was the motto my nigga
Their group had a motto that suggested they were all good.

I got rich first, you was supposed to follow my nigga
The singer got rich before their friends, but they expected them to follow.

And dat nigga Lil
The artist talks about a friend named Lil.

Shit I can't believe you (Not you)
The artist expresses disbelief in Lil's actions.

That's what that syrup and that weed do?
The artist questions if Lil's drug abuse influenced their behavior.

And when I came home I tried to feed you
The singer tried to help Lil when they returned home.

And every song I was yellin free you (Free dat nigga Lil)
The artist advocated for Lil's freedom in their music.

And if you bled I was down to bleed too
The singer would have stood by Lil even in dangerous situations.

Now when I ride by I breeze through
The singer now avoids Lil when driving by.

I don't even stop, ain't a need to
The singer doesn't feel the need to talk to Lil anymore.

And you the one that left nigga, I ain't leave you
The artist points out that Lil was the one who left their friendship.

Shit got realer, niggas got richer
Things got more serious and the artist's friends got wealthier.

I said the money train coming, niggas missed it
The singer predicted their success, but their friends didn't believe it.

I even tried to spin back around to come and get you
The singer attempted to include their friends in their success after they missed out.

But niggas wanted more from me then my own sister
Their friends became too greedy and selfish.

They want more than my mother
The artist's friends want more from them than even their mother.

More than Omelly, and that nigga like my brother
Their friends want more than even their friend who they consider like family.

Greedy motherfucker
The singer expresses frustration and anger towards their friends' greediness.

Crazy thing about it, I don't hate em, I still love 'em
The artist still has love for their friends despite their mistakes.

I might have said things, I never said fuck 'em
The singer may have expressed frustration but never said they hate their friends.

But I'm a live my life, get the money, ball hard
The singer plans to focus on their own success and happiness.

Still sending earned money for his calling cards
The singer still supports their incarcerated friend financially.

Rick ain't complaining, he got life behind bars
The friend named Rick is in jail for life but doesn't complain about their situation.

And he still calling me, bet you he ain't calling y'all
The artist is the only one receiving calls from their incarcerated friend.

'Cause none of y'all niggas ain't send him shit yet
The singer's friends haven't been supportive of their incarcerated friend.

None of y'all niggas send him pics yet
Their friends haven't even sent pictures to their incarcerated friend.

I'm still writing money orders, sending big checks
The artist continues to financially support their incarcerated friend with large amounts of money.

And remember when it rains, niggas get wet
The artist warns their friends that in tough times, they will all face consequences together.
