Philadelphia, PA – July 4, 2025
Nine weeks out from kickoff, the energy in Philadelphia is already humming — street corners buzzing, tailgates in rehearsal, and green jerseys flying off the racks. And now, the city’s voice just got louder. Meek Mill, the Philly-born rap icon and heartbeat of the city’s fight, has released a new anthem just in time to awaken the Eagles faithful.
Titled “Bleed Midnight Green”, the track blends raw energy, grit, and soul — everything this city lives and breathes when it comes to football. Meek’s voice is no stranger to the Linc. From “Dreams and Nightmares” echoing through Super Bowl LII, to countless shoutouts to the team that embodies his city’s DNA, this new anthem hits different — because it’s not just music. It’s Philly.
"From Broad Street to Broad Shoulders, we carry pain into pride,
We don’t fly for show — we fly to survive.
Midnight Green, stitched in skin,
Every Sunday’s a war — and we play to win."
That’s how the track opens — no auto-tune, no fluff, just Meek’s fire and Philly’s defiance.
He teased it just days ago on Instagram, posting a photo from the Linc tunnel with the caption: “Still running out that tunnel. #BleedGreen #9Weeks.” Fans speculated. Some thought it was just another workout clip. But now, the song’s out — and the city’s bouncing.
The Eagles’ official account dropped it at noon sharp with a simple caption: “This one’s for the ones who never left. @MeekMill let it fly.” Players like Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown reposted instantly, blasting the song in practice videos and gym sessions. The streets of South Philly? Already shaking.
This isn’t just hype. Meek’s connection to the team — and to the people — is bone-deep. He’s lived their resilience. And with this track, he’s given fans another weapon heading into battle.
So whether you’re marching to the Linc or pounding your chest from a thousand miles away, one thing’s for sure: Meek’s back. Philly’s awake. And the Birds are coming.
Stay tuned to ESPN for more on the intersection of music, legacy, and midnight green greatness.
