Meek Mill – WHO DECIDES WAR

Meek Mill Drops New Single “WHO DECIDES WAR,” Tackling Life’s Harsh Realities

Despite facing intense scrutiny on social media due to his well-documented association with Diddy, Meek Mill’s musical momentum is on the rise once again. Over the past few weeks, he has returned to his roots, dropping singles reminiscent of earlier stages in his career. While tracks like “ROBBIE SON” and “CYBER TRUCK” may not scream “prime Meek Mill,” they certainly evoke a familiar energy. Now, with the release of “WHO DECIDES WAR,” Meek is offering fans a raw, reflective commentary on the state of the world and the streets that raised him.

“WHO DECIDES WAR”: Meek Mill’s Reflection on Conflict and Street Life

In “WHO DECIDES WAR,” Meek Mill paints vivid parallels between global conflict and the war-like conditions of his life growing up in South Philadelphia. He likens his struggles to the ongoing violence in Gaza, shedding light on the PTSD that stems from his upbringing and the ever-present dangers of street life. The track stands as a reminder of the harsh realities Meek has faced, while also serving as a broader commentary on the world’s chaotic state.

A New Sound Inspired by Polo G and Lil Durk

Musically, “WHO DECIDES WAR” finds Meek experimenting with a sound that feels influenced by rappers like Polo G and Lil Durk. He opens the track with a melodic singing style that echoes Lil Durk’s introspective approach, before launching into the raw, gritty flow that made him a household name. Though it may not be the most dynamic track in his discography, Meek’s storytelling is as sharp as ever. He once again reflects on the trauma of his past, delivering the type of introspective bars his fans have come to appreciate.

Looking Forward: What’s Next for Meek Mill?

While “WHO DECIDES WAR” is a welcome addition to Meek’s recent releases, fans are still awaiting news of a potential solo album. Meek’s last full-length project was Too Good To Be True, a highly anticipated joint album with Rick Ross that arrived over a decade after its initial announcement. Though there’s no word yet on when his next solo effort might drop, “WHO DECIDES WAR” gives fans something substantial to hold onto in the meantime.

Meek Mill – WHO DECIDES WAR Lyrics

[Intro]

You heatin’ up Lavish

[Verse]

I was like sixteen when I got my hand on my chopper, they killed my father
So it’s war like Israel versus Gaza, be hard to swallow
When it’s bodies on the pages you follow
Seeing war like every day, that shit gonna make me a monster
I be like who decides war?
This is where niggas get murdered just from walkin’ to the store
You ever really lose a homie? You gotta walk into the morgue
And still be strong with his mother while shе fallin’ on the floor
Knowin’ damn well you wanna fall out with her, but it’s war
Out in Haiti, thеy kill ladies and the babies, what it’s for?
If they show it on the news, they say it’s gangs, tell us more
Tell us why if our people goin’ crazy tryna die
Make it out the hood, then go to the army, need nine lives
Only got like four left, they tried to kill me five times
They gonna laugh if you fail, but if you win, it’s high fives
And you wonder why I be lookin’ all funny with the side eye
I’m like who decides war?
I’m at war with myself in the mirror like “Are you sure?”
Selling raw, I was takin’ a risk for a Roc Velour
And some brand new forces, it’s crazy they locked my door
I’m at war with the system now ’cause I wanted some clothes
I’m at war with these people now ’cause I wanted the Rolls
‘Cause I wanted my family out the hood, where they suppose
I want war with everybody that say I supposed had to owed
I’m like who decides war?
Thinkin’ to myself like “Who decide to give the shooter a bomb?”
Crush a buildin’, kill a whole family like a group of five
Go back to your family like you good, and then you lose your mind
Who decide? (Who decides war?)
When you all alone, and it’s you and God
And you the one gettin’ scrutinized
Youngin’ sixteen, ain’t even get to do a prom
They buried him in a Dickie, he was scared to wear a suit and tie
Jail cells, graveyard, this shit always do or die
I told my dawg chase his dreams, he like, “Who am I?”
I seen them yurkies share the dreams between you and I
All that depression, he didn’t even mean to commit suicide
Who decide who gonna make it out, or who should die?
See a good nigga go broke and then lose his mind
For trying to have too much remorse about who’s alive
Who decides war?
