Meek Mill Halo
It’s been nearly three years since Meek Mill delivered his chart-topping album, Championships. Though his focus has been going towards expanding his empire, including the Dream Chasers roster, and his work within prison reform, he’s been cookin’ up some sh*t this time around. The rapper’s unveiled several freestyles over the year as fans anticipate his next album. On Friday, he finally delivered.
Expensive Pain is 18 songs in total with a healthy balance of collabs and solo tracks. Meek does deliver some certified bangers but the rapper offers a few cuts that dive deep into his vulnerability. On “Halo,” he links up with Brent Faiyaz to close out the album. While Faiyaz’ angelic harmonies gloss over the production subtly, Meek opens up about the issues that he deals with behind closed doors and how much of it is bottled up. “Standin’ in the club, poppin’ bottles, sippin’ Ace/ Lookin’ at the people, lookin’ at me like I’m straight/ Knowin’ I’ve been goin’ through some shit that I don’t speak about,” he raps on the record.
Meek Mill – Halo (ft. Brent Faiyaz) (prod. Austin Powerz, Brent Faiyaz, L.3.G.I.O.N., Paperboy Fabe & Sevn Thomas)
[Chorus: Brent Faiyaz]
Should I just wear a halo?
‘Cause I already know too many angels (Know too many angels)
Should I just wear a halo? (Mhm)
‘Cause I already know too many angels (Know too many angels, yeah, angels)
[Verse 1: Meek Mill]
Yeah
I’ve been grindin’ all my life, chasin’ dreams
Not really payin’ attention what it do to my health
And I could tell you that this life ain’t what it seems
But no matter what it is, I stay true to myself
I say, “Young nigga rumble and stay humble through the fake shit”
All this money and bad bitches, I’m in the matrix
Tryna be successful and still fighting open cases
At times I get angry at God, like, “Why you take Nip?”
Got me losin’ hope in the hood, I’m feelin’ hatrеd
From niggas that look just like me, same color facеs
She say she ain’t fuck in a year, I told her taste it
She did it on the first night, and I’m lookin’ for my first wife
Tryna find trust in my heart, but it don’t work right
Think I’m gettin’ numb to the pain, ’cause it don’t hurt right
I just wanna go to my hood, wheelie a dirt bike
And post up on the block with the ones that think that I forgot how we was standin’ on the corner with them Glocks
But I know, if I go back to that corner, I’ll get shot
Or get robbed, in a box to make me fade away
I miss y’all too but this my calling to go pave a way, for real
[Chorus: Brent Faiyaz]
Should I just wear a halo?
‘Cause I already know too many angels (Know too many angels)
Should I just wear a halo? (Mhm)
‘Cause I already know too many angels (Know too many angels, yeah, angels)
[Verse 2: Meek Mill]
Yeah
And everybody competin’ on social media
Shit is fake, all it did was make us greedier
I got it all, and I be still feelin’ needier
Tryna shine for all the times they ain’t believe in us
So I kinda relate when I see you bein’ fake
Shorty take that makeup off, I wanna see your face
Standin’ in the club, poppin’ bottles, sippin’ Ace
Lookin’ at the people, lookin’ at me like I’m straight
Knowin’ I’ve been goin’ through some shit that I don’t speak about
Lately I’ve been stressin’ ’bout, man, fuck it, I’ma leave it out
Let ’em know my business, they gon’ judge me, fuck it, keep ’em out
I been soul searchin’ all alone, diggin’ deeper now
Tryna find my truth, dream chasin’ as a youth
Last night, shit, I was stressin’, I woke up and bought a coupe
Put it on the ‘Gram and made a caption, that was cool
But I feel better when I’m pickin’ Papi up from school
Just chillin’ with my mind, this feel better than when I’m chillin’ with the dawgs, I know
All these hoes they ain’t really on my side and I know
Say you’re my bro, but he ain’t really down to slide
And it’s a few that got my back, and I could feel it in my spine
And we gon’ chase these dreams
Pray the money never make me change
But I got two just to make these lanes
‘Cause it’s gon’ make me aim even higher than ever
Sincerely yours, you know I’m grindin’ forever
[Chorus: Brent Faiyaz]
Should I just wear a halo?
(‘Cause I already) ‘Cause I already know too many angels
Should I just wear a halo? (Halo)
(‘Cause I already) ‘Cause I already know too many angels
[Outro: Brent Faiyaz]
Though it gets hard for me, gotta make a living (A living)
Nigga got mouths to feed, can’t turn up missing
Niggas do wrong by me, I’m unforgiving
Should I just wear a halo? (Halo)
