Meek Mill Thanks GOD For Pretty Women & "BALLIN On NIGGAS"

Meek Mill...mayne where do i start, Meek has a song out called "Amen" Ft. Drake & Jeremiah. Meek Mill is a Philly rapper who is signed to the gentleman that says he talks to the HolySpirit in his car...yes you guessed it...Rick Ross. This song was brought to my attention by a Pastor in Philadelphia who called Meek out on some of his claims in the song that refers to God being the reason he has the things he has. Now i can see where this can become a bit disturbing, especially in a time where our youth is really suffering from an identity crisis and we attach false principle to it.

Led to listen to this song...i searched for it on YouTube and as soon as the song comes on i hear Meek say, "I just wanna thank God for all the pretty women he led into my life." Im not sure is Meek thinks God is over EHarmony, but this is not a reflection of the God that i serve. The way that you can tell that something is from God, there will not only be scripture to back it up but also the "character" of God would be consistent. Then he goes on to say, "For all the benjamins he let me count"...ok lets break this down even. What we do sometimes is look at the outcome and not how it was derived. Money gained from careless speech or living is NOT from God (Habakkuk 2). We (people) gain things from selfishness, greed, pride, hurt and we thank God. Just because we thank God doesn't mean that he was the source. I could have gotten some money from a female friend that i wanted no one to know about and in the public i thank my brother...does that make my statement factual?

Then (yeah I'm worn out as well smh) he says, "wealth and health, for my family and letting me BALL on these niggas". I mean even a blind man can SEE the ignorance in this. I will admit that God does provide you with health (that's grace but not wealth in his case) and of course, family. This is also what we do as people...we include God's good in with Satan's bad. I remember one person told me, "Mayne i thank God for my wife and not being caught when i go out and cheat. I mean i know its wrong and all but that's a blessing because i have a good wife." Clearly he is not seeing what his "music" (cause that's what they call it now a day, just music) is doing to people. Then the hook says things that i don't want to type to expose to the people who reads my blog. But i will say it says, "She wanna %^$# and i say CHURCHHHH (Preach)" and this is only 40 seconds into a 4:49 minute song. I cared less about listening to the rest. I have somehow become allergic to ignorance and from the intro of that song i started itching, so that was the end of that.

Lets take a moment and break down a few issues in a multiple issue song. Because Meek has such a huge following, his voice is heard in many places. In a heated interview with that pastor i spoke about earlier, the pastor says to him on a radio station call  "my plea to you is to turn from sin and to Jesus"...later Meek responds and says, "I believe in God, all that OTHER STUFF I AINT TRYN TO HEAR" then says, "I DONT BELIEVE IN NONE OF THAT STUFF YOU TALKING ABOUT SO DONT EVEN SAY IT TO ME. I ONLY BELIEVE IN GOD I DONT WANNA HEAR NONE OF WHATEVA ELSE YOU TALKIN BOUT" SMH, in a world that God is becoming increasingly "popular" Jesus is becoming the opposite. The bible tells us in John 14:6 it CLEARLY states, "NO ONE makes it to father except through me". Even if people didn't believe Jesus, how can you believe God but not what God brought forth. Meek goes on to ask the pastor, "Who is you and where was you at (this is his language) when i was giving out shoes to kids." Although those are great deeds, does giving things away insure that you are a good person when the bible says you shall judge a tree by its fruit. Which leads me to my next point. This "tree" is speaks about is the person itself, not just in deeds and handing out things but also their lifestyle.

He then goes on to say "It seems like you just want some money for your church, you could have got at me if that was the case, i woulda gave you that." Meek was implying that this was a ploy to gain finance. The pastor was reaching out to Meek because he stepped into an area of blasphemy. If you know anything about Meek, he has been rapping for a while but have just made it mainstream not too long ago. This pastor was familiar with Meek but not his music and when Meek insulted a God that he serves, he spoke up. The pastor wasn't mad or disrespectful, but Meek clearly was. Meek says, "Dont the bible say ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME?" Ummmm, NO i believe that was 2Pac...and people still judge him today. This kid is in a place where money and status set the tone for life...you are either a tool for the Lord or a toy for the devil.

Become aware of the things going on around you and the people that you are allowing you and your kids to listen to. You may be unknowingly supporting someone who teaches against God but in a way that's not obvious. I pray that Meek come into the knowledge of Christ and stop poisoning our youth before that choice is not his anymore but God's. (Deut. 28:15-68)
