"I used to pray for times like this, to rhyme like this/so I had to grind like that to shine like this," raps Philadelphia's own Meek Mill on "Dreams & Nightmares (Intro)." In the past week, the 2012 album cut has gone from cult favorite to the soundtrack to the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl run—the perfect fit for a scrappy team that's gone further than anyone expected.
"It really lifted my spirit to hear the team rally around my songs because that's why I make music–to inspire others and bring people together," the rapper said in a statement released to B/R and NBCSports Philadelphia.
