Meek Mill has taken fans on a trip down memory lane — although, it wasn't necessarily a fun one.

On Wednesday (December 10), the Dreamchasers boss returned to X with several installments of the "Meek Chronicles," a series of short anecdotes from his days growing up in North Philadelphia.

Kicking things off by recalling the time a group of grown men "caught" him for $400, he said his original plan was to spend the money on clothing.

"I will never forget the 3 card molly oldhead caught me for my whole bankroll like $400 going shopping for clothes!" he wrote. "He was waiting exactly where the bus let you off on market."

It's unclear whether Meek meant that he lost the money gambling in a game of three card Molly or if he was robbed. Regardless, he claimed he had no chance of protecting his cash, because A) He was only 13 at the time, and B) the dude had "five actors with him!"

"All grown men," he wrote. "No sympathy shit lol yal crazy for dat! Lol."

The Dreamchasers rapper then shared the tragic story of "Nelson," a presumably unhoused man who had become a beloved figure in his apartment complex.

"We let this man live in our hallway out north Philly apt in trade for butler service," he wrote. "His name was 'Nelson.'"

Meek said the man was ultimately murdered, but didn’t provide details surrounding his death. He said the police managed to apprehend the suspected killer immediately after and allowed the complex residents to get their revenge.

"The cops caught his killer on the spot and let everyone trash him with cuffs on," Meek wrote. "Rip to ‘Nelson’ (N 32nd St & Cecil B. Moore Ave)."

The stories didn’t end there. Minutes later, Meek looked back on his time living on 18th Street and Berks Street, the same block as professional boxer Tevin Farmer, aka American Idol. Meek then abruptly changed the subject and recalled a deadly incident that occurred just down the street from his former home.

"On 18th and Norris a whole family got killed by a fire bomb," he wrote. "Like 3am women kids and men like 6 to 8 people! Then my house caught on fire years after... I couldn't stop smelling fire for 5 years!"

"Jump in the car with me," he said in a subsequent post. "Especially if you a [Temple University] student and live near 18th and berks. A lil history lol."
