Amen Lyrics

[Intro: Meek Mill & Drake]
I just wanna thank God
For all the pretty women He let into my life
All the Benjamins You let me count
Wealth and health
For my family
And lettin' me ball on these niggas (Yeah)
Ah


[Chorus: Meek Mill]
Now there's a lot of bad bitches in the building (Amen)
A couple real niggas in the building (Amen)
I'm finna kill niggas in the building (Amen)
I tell the waiter fifty bottles and she tell me say when
And I say church (Preach)
We make it light up like a church (Preach)
She wanna fuck and I say church (Preach)
Do Liv on Sunday like a church (Preach)

[Verse 1: Meek Mill]
Bottle after bottle, drink until I overdose
Pull up in the Phantom, watch them bitches catch the Holy Ghost
Errtime I step up in the dealer I be goin' broke
Shorty wanna fuck me, I say get on top and roller coast
And I lay back, she go cray, fuck me good, but she no stay
Murder on that pussy let her boyfriend get that DOA
Get it? And all I get is Frito Lay
Plus I'm on probation, when they test me I just pee Rosé
Cause last night, I went hard, peach CÎROC, Patrón, and all
Thirty racks on magnum bottles, I think I was born to ball
Lookin' like a million plus, fresh I'm out that corner store
Hater I be doin' me, you guys should be doin' y'all
I'm stackin' money to the ceiling
All this ice that's in my Rollie I be chilling
And I just made a couple million
So I could take care of them children, let's go

[Chorus: Meek Mill]
Now there's a lot of bad bitches in the building (Amen)
A couple real niggas in the building (Amen)
I'm finna kill niggas in the building (Amen)
I tell the waiter fifty bottles and she tell me say when
And I say church (Preach)
We make it light up like a church (Preach)
She wanna fuck and I say church (Preach)
Do Liv on Sunday like a church (Preach)

[Verse 2: Drake]
Just bought my niggas some caine, so much it came with a plane
Bought my niggas some dope, so much it came with a boat

I just bought me a crib so big it came with a moat
For niggas jumping the fence I hope you niggas can float

And I just hope that I'm forgiven for carin' 'bout how they livin'
And loanin a little money and keepin' 'em out of prison
I ain't lyin' in my verses I'm just telling you the basics
Of growin' up with your friends and becomin the one that made it
Yes lord! All gold, man I got these bitches soul
Talking bout these other rappers getting old is even getting old
Worrying about your followers, you need to get your dollars up
Me and Meek, young niggas poppin' like our collars up
And good ain't good enough, and your hood ain't hood enough
Spent my whole life puttin on, you spend your whole life puttin up
Ain't no telling when I go, so there ain't shit that I'ma wait for
I'm the type to say a prayer, then go get what I just prayed for
[Chorus: Meek Mill]
Now there's a lot of bad bitches in the building (Amen)
A couple real niggas in the building (Amen)
I'm finna kill niggas in the building (Amen)
I tell the waiter fifty bottles and she tell me say when
And I say church (Preach)
We make it light up like a church (Preach)
She wanna fuck and I say church (Preach)
Do Liv on Sunday like a church (Preach)

[Verse 3: Meek Mill and (Jeremih)]
Lord forgive me for my sins, I'm just tryna win
And she a devil in a dress but if she knock I let her in
And if she knock I let her in

I have her wet by 12 o' clock, then 3 o' clock she wet again
I'm screaming oh Lord, that pussy good, that pussy good
I'm tryna hold on, I wish I could, you think I should
She got that million dollar body, shorty my Bugatti
And she said she got a man, we keep it secret Illuminati
(Got Patron on deck) And Ciroc all in my bottle
(Push it all on her) She was on that Reposado
(She take it all off) And I think I'll rep Serato
In this bitch I'm spending like I hit the lotto, cause it's a lot of...

[Chorus: Meek Mill]
Now there's a lot of bad bitches in the building (Amen)
A couple real niggas in the building (Amen)
I'm finna kill niggas in the building (Amen)
I tell the waiter fifty bottles and she tell me say when
And I say church (Preach)
We make it light up like a church (Preach)
She wanna fuck and I say church (Preach)
Do Liv on Sunday like a church (Preach)

What did Meek Mill say about "Amen"?
Genius Answer

I made that around the same time I made ‘So Long,’ because that was during that Christmas break. It’s just like going through records in my momma’s basement, and I just came across some grooves, and I got this vibe. I made these piano keys and came across this riff and added some of my own creativity into it, and added some drums, and hit up my nigga Tone and Sean, like, ‘Let’s go to the studio. I got this cold-ass beat I did.’ They heard it like, ‘Damn, this is kind of sweet. We going to record a reference [track] to it.’

They recorded a reference, and everything was all good. Niggas was fucking with it. A couple like months later, when I went to LA, Sean was like, ‘I fuck with the beat, but I really don’t fuck with the reference like that.’ I remember meeting Meek Mill in New York that summer—that past summer—and I remember he’s like, ‘Yo I’m a big fan of ‘Memories.’ That’s like my favorite song from Sean.’ When he found out I produced it, he was like, ‘Give me your contact, let me give you mine, I want you to send me some beats.’

I was thinking, ‘Cool, Sean don’t want to use it, who else would want to use this beat man? This is a really good beat.’ I was like, ‘Man, Meek Mill would go ham on this.’ It has to be something different too from what he’s putting out. I sent it to him, and literally like a couple days later he hit me up like, ‘This is about to be my single.’

He played that shit for me over the phone right before I went to class. It was crazy. Then I got a phone call, like, ‘They about to put it out.’ We just got the business situated. The Jahlil ended up adding his 808 to it, because my kick was hitting hard like it’s supposed to, and he just added the 808, and that was that.

I think CNN has a blog or something like that. They called me, and was asking me questions about how I felt [about the controversy with a Philadelphia pastor]. That was dope. Damn, CNN? That was kind of big. I told them I felt that people were blowing this out of proportion. We’re two people who believe in God. Right at the beginning of the song, he’s like, ‘I just want to thank God.’ I guess people just looked that over and just automatically wanted to say everything negative about the song. Nothing is bad about the song man. The song put me in a better place, and that’s like all in God’s hands. I don’t see where people are getting this bad vibe from it when it’s really helping people out.

Just happy people like it. My family loves it. Everybody loves it. Sean likes it, like, ‘Man, this is a really good song.’ It’s Top 10, it’s just like it was the biggest single of the summer. I’m just like, in awe that I was responsible for that. I was just really thankful that God gave me this gift and blessed me to use it correctly for all this to happen man.
