Meek Mill [feat. Drake] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Father God
I come to you to say thank you
That's all, I don't wanna ask for anything, I just wanna say thank you, Lord
Thank you

Prayin', prayin' (thank you)
Pray again, pray again (thank you, Father)
Prayin' (thank you, Lord)
Prayin' 'til you find a man
That's gon' treat you
That's gon' treat you like I can (amen, amen)
That's gon' please you
That's gon' please you like I can (church)

Church like a priest, Turks for the week
Purse for yourself, purse for your niece
Know you don't do Percs, baby, but (take your time)
That's the perks of datin' me
Red Merces with the red seats
Buy red wig, part the Red Sea
With a neat freak, gettin' mess-
God, forgive me
Father, I've sinned
Sent more than your father ever sent
Spent more than your baby father did
And you my baby, so I gotta put you in the crib
Same neighborhood where Ashton Kutcher live
I'm just doin' what that punk should have did (thank You, Lord)
She prayin' for me while I'm on the road
Prayin' for me while I hold her close
Prayin' that its not no other girl
I'm prayin' that these girls'll never know
She prayin', asking God for a sign
I just went and paid her car note

Turn to your neighbor
Say, "Neighbor"

Prayin', prayin' (neighbor)
Pray again, pray again (everybody, say it)
Prayin'
Prayin' 'til you find a man
That's gon' treat you
That's gon' treat you like I can
That's gon' please you
That's gon' please you like I can

Thank you for calling Mercedes Benz of Beaumont

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Meek Mill's "Amen" express gratefulness towards God for the blessings that have come his way. He thanks God for the women in his life, the money he has, his good health, and the ability to stand out among other rappers. The sheer abundance of good things in his life is referenced in his line, "All the Benjamins you let me count." The chorus of the song ("Now there's a lot of bad bitches in the building (Amen) / A couple real niggas in the building (Amen) / I'm finna kill niggas in the building (Amen) / I tell the waiter fifty bottles and she tell me say when / And I say church (Preach) / We make it light up like a church (Preach) / She wanna fuck and I say church (Preach) / Do Liv on Sunday like a church (Preach)") is both self-aggrandizing and reminiscent of a gospel choir, further playing on the Christian themes of the song.


The lyrics also mention Meek Mill's love of partying and his affinity for extravagance. Bottles and women are referred to in abundance. It is almost as if Meek is asking the listener to join him in his thankfulness and faith while also encouraging them to indulge along with him. The verse that begins, "Just bought my niggas some caine, so much it came with a plane / Bought my niggas some dope, so much it came with a boat / I just bought me a crib so big it came with a moat" furthers the over-the-top, lavish lifestyle imagery. In conclusion, the song "Amen" is a slightly self-indulgent and unapologetic celebration of wealth, fame, and women in Meek Mill's life, still, it expresses thankfulness and faith in all the blessings that have come into Meek Mill's life.

I remember this song, since I was 12, since October 2014. Good old days homie :)

I also enjoyed this song, since September 2015, since I was 13, and I also enjoyed this song, since December 2015, and rapped to this song. Those we're the good old days. My childhood was good :)

Teenage life was good, and it was fun, bro :)

2015 and 2019 was good :)

Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days.

2012, and 2013 was good. If I was born in 1999, I'd be enjoying this song, since the summer of June 2013, and June 2018. Good times homie, good old days dude :)
