'Lord Knows,' Featuring Tory Lanez - Meek claps off his sophomore release dropping a few Amens and thank-yous to the man above. Taking a few penitentiary chances on his road from poverty to paradise, the MMG lyricist counts his blessings with, "Remember I prayed, I really wished for this / To get the crib with the maid and with the picket fence / I'm with some n****s that remember we took some risks for this / I'm talking risky business flick the wrist / Lord knows that I repent for this."(Photo: Mike Coppola/Getty Images for Clear Channel)

'Classic,' Featuring Swizz Beatz - Bangladesh lays the keys for Meek to rip to as he drops knowledge of how he went from ashy to classy and is now being chosen by your woman. With an assist from Swizz on the hook, Meek doesn't have to yell on this one. He still gets his point across as he breaks the bad news, spitting, "You thought she was innocent / We laughing like she been a h* / Chopping up those benzos / Me, yo b***h in the friend zone / She told you I was friend zoned, what? / I'm in the end zone."(Photos from Left: Brad Barket/Getty Images for BET's Rip The Runway, Gustavo Caballero/Getty Images for Haute Living)

'The Trillest' - Meek Mill's bulletproof love is felt from city to city as he drops lines on why he gets love in any hood on this soulful introspective track. With his gangsta being fully displayed and no chain tucking in his pedigree, he drops bars like, "I never wanted to be like Mike, I wanted to be like Mitch / Now all the lil' n****s wanna be like this / I wear my chain in any city, let you see my s**t / 'Cause I earned that, it's on me, I'mma keep that s**t."

'R.I.C.O.,' Featuring Drake - Loyalty is the message that Drake and Meek are drilling here as they point out the snakes and the rats. Meek even gives notorious Harlem gangster Alpo the side-eye when he rhymes, "I come through my block like I'm Rico / Popping a wheelie no squealie can't talk to the cops that's illegal / I was like Rich Porter no double-crossing on my peoples / I take an M to the table and split it with my n****s equal."(Photos from Left: Frederick M.

'I Got the Juice' - Respect is hard to earn and very easy to lose, so it's best to keep it real when in Meek Millie's presence. He runs down his code of ethics here with, "Rather eat crumbs with bums 'fore I split my steak with you snake a** n****s / I rather stay around my day ones 'fore I come around you fake a** n****s / I rather have a broke real b***h 'fore I ever deal with y'all fake a** b*****s."(Photo: JLN Photography/WENN.com)

'Ambitionz' - Meek Millie brings Tupac back once again as he reps for all the riders on lockdown in the pen. Reliving his rough days as a shorty, the MMG capo paints a vivid tale here as he rhymes, "Shackled to our ankles it was like a nightmare / You ever wash out your drawers on the same water you s**t? / Doing your push ups right on the floor where you piss? / Cell mates with n****s that went to war with the strips / You got to rumble from night time down to the morning and s**t."(Photo: Rick Diamond/Getty Images for BET)

'Pullin' Up,' Featuring The Weeknd - Meek gets so disrespectful here as he blatantly tells you he's taking your girl so you can either cry or get over it. With The Weeknd laying down the melodic chorus as the Philly MC literally gets busy in the back of his whip, the insults include, "F**k you in the car, if he looking for you / Seen you with your man and said “what up to ya... / Broke boys don’t deserve p***y / Therefore, you ain’t f*****g with her."(Photos from Left: Johnny Louis/WENN.com, Jlnphotography/WENN)
