The rapper retweeted a link to a news report about a gunman at a birthday party who shot a two-year-old, two teenage girls, and two women. “The amount of animosity built up in my hood got the young bulls killing each other 200mph while a virus chasing their parents down to kill them too!” Meek Mill wrote. “Somebody gotta identify what happened to our mindframe in certain cities! The hate level too high for blacks.”
“One day we gotta have the n#%gas being brainwashed to fail,” he added. “Simple as- if you went to jail 5 times for selling dope try weed or a job ‘switch it up’ if you got shot on that corner twice ‘it’s ya life’ try a new area … at least try to win!… I’m speaking on my city..
