Meek Mill says it pays off to be smart.

Meek Mill says "being smart" is the key to getting out of poverty. Taking to Twitter on Tuesday, the Too Good to Be True rapper shared advice for his followers. He says that "being gangsta" is the wrong path forward.

"Being gangsta will get you hurt put in jail or killed …… being smart will get you out of poverty and your family and friends living better … it’s no comparison, being smart is the only solid way out the trenches… everything else is wide range life risk just to survive!" Meek wrote.

We all wish for a good life, but the smart path is the best bet. It's tough but more safe, and the rewards are sweet as honey!" Check out Meek's full post below.
