Meek Mill Wades into War with Introspective “WHO DECIDES WAR“
Meek Mill’s latest offering, “WHO DECIDES WAR,” is a raw and unflinching excavation of personal trauma and the ever-present shadow of violence.
Released in late September 2024, the track pulsates with Meek’s signature intensity, his voice a powerful instrument weaving tales of loss and hard-won resilience.
The lyrics, laced with the scars of his past, unveil the profound impact of losing his father at a young age, an event that continues to shape his worldview.
More than a mere memoir, “WHO DECIDES WAR” transcends the personal and bleeds into a potent social commentary.
The title itself acts as a stark question mark, a challenge to listeners to grapple with the forces that fuel conflict and the cyclical nature of violence.
This isn’t the first time Meek Mill has used his platform to address societal issues, and here, he masterfully fuses personal narrative with a broader critique of street life, the grip of systemic problems, and the devastating consequences of war, both literal and metaphorical.
The track, accompanied by a powerful music video that premiered a day later, has garnered significant buzz within the hip-hop community.
Fans are praising Meek’s lyrical prowess and the raw honesty with which he confronts his demons, while appreciating his commitment to creating music that reflects not only his own life but the struggles of many.
Quotable Lyrics:
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?”
