[Intro - Meek Mill]
Yea... You can be here one day gone any minute
That's why I live everyday likes it's my last

[Hook - B.o.B]
Well, you could be here one day, gone in a minute
Cause life is so short but as long as a minute
See I'm, I'm just living at the speed of light
Just living at the speed of light
And I would never waste a minute
I'm never giving up and I'm breaking every limit
Cause I'm, I'm just living at the speed of light
I'm just living at the speed of light

[Verse 1 - Meek Mill]
Speeding in the fast lane watching through my rearview
Thinking about the past man and all the shit I did do
Shit that could've took my life from me, that I lived through
Cases that I could've caught, cracks that I done slid through
The bids too, struggles I done came from, the main one
Was the day my dad died, I never been the same son
Turned into a man young, cause I ain't understand something
Changes I was brought through, streets that I was forced to
You could be here one day, gone in a minute
That's why I get that money, spend it like I print it
Ball till I fall, till the day I diminish
I ain't never gon stop, I push it to the limit

[Hook - B.o.B]
Well, you could be here one day, gone in a minute
Cause life is so short but as long as a minute
See I'm, I'm just living at the speed of light
Just living at the speed of light
And I would never waste a minute
I'm never giving up and I'm breaking every limit
Cause I'm, I'm just living at the speed of light
I'm just living at the speed of light

[Verse 2 - Meek Mill]
They gave my nigga twenty years, man that wasn't even right
Got him in the hell hole living at the speed of light
Praying that the time fly by so he can see the light
See his kids, meet a wife, all over a key of white
But why you think they take that time from you
Cause you need it right, and you can't get it back
So how they giving niggas life
Like you gon live again, grow up, be a kid again
That's why I never waste time I cherish every minute in
Pray to god faithful though, man half that shit I make, I blow
I don't even take it slow, cause any given day could go
And I can meet my death date, feel my last breath take
That's why I go and get it now, I be like fuck waiting

[Hook - B.o.B]
Well, you could be here one day, gone in a minute
Cause life is so short but as long as a minute
See I'm, I'm just living at the speed of light
Just living at the speed of light
And I would never waste a minute
I'm never giving up and I'm breaking every limit
Cause I'm, I'm just living at the speed of light
I'm just living at the speed of light

[Verse 3 - Meek Mill]
From where the good die young, and the bad don't even last at
Where the young niggas 16 and over die fast at
I was made there and raised there, but moved past that
Living at the speed of light, it look like a flashback
I done got money, went broke and got the cash back
Had it I was cool though, lost it I got laughed at
That's why I never ever cherish nothing I can have back
Thankful for my life though, I wish that I can stash that
Yeah, shit I'm just living at the speed of light
Balling hard to see the light, be here today decease the night
I just hope when god come arrest me that he read my rights
Read my wrongs, keep me right, send me home but leave me right

[Hook - B.o.B]
Well, you could be here one day, gone in a minute
Cause life is so short but as long as a minute
See I'm, I'm just living at the speed of light
Just living at the speed of light
And I would never waste a minute
I'm never giving up and I'm breaking every limit
Cause I'm, I'm just living at the speed of light
I'm just living at the speed of light

Robert Rihmeek Williams was born on May 6, 1987, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His stage name, Meek Mill, came from his friends calling him Meek Millions, a play on making millions, because of his middle name.

Meek got his start in rap by participating in rap battles and rapping in a group called The Bloodhoundz. His solo career began with his two mixtapes The Real Me and The Real Me 2. His next mixtape Flamers, caught the attention of Atlanta rapper and Grand Hustle boss T.I. who hosted his following tape Flamers 2: Hottest In Tha City. T.I. intended to sign Meek to his label, but both rappers found themselves in legal trouble delaying the deal which ultimately came to pass. His following tapes, Flamers 2.5: The Preview and Flamers 3: The Wait is Over, produced the hits “Rosé Red” and “Make ‘Em Say” which gave Meek his first major mainstream success. In 2010, he released his seventh mixtape, Mr. Philadephia.

In 2011, Meek signed to Rick Ross‘ Maybach Music Group, where he released two singles, “Ima Boss” and “Tupac Back,” for the group’s Self Made Vol. 1. He went on to appear on the album nine times. The label released two more compilation albums, Self Made Vol. 2 in 2012 and Self Made Vol. 3 in 2013, with Meek appearing four and six times respectively.
