Tee Grizzley - Mr. Officer (feat. Queen Naija & members of the Detroit Youth Choir)

When it comes to using rap as a means to tell a story, keep it real, and make a difference, Tee Grizzly has never shied away. Using his platform to speak out about important causes and give a voice to those who don’t have one, Tee Grizzly brings us ‘Mr. Officer’.
This song is heavy. Not many songs can make me tear up, but I won’t lie, this one did the trick. As a white male in America who will never fully understand the weight of what’s happening in the world, songs like this not only add perspective, but build on my ever-growing empathy. Artists with platforms like Tee Grizzly are much needed right now and have continued to pave the way for the hip-hop culture and what it stands for.
Go give this song a listen today. Go read a book by a black author today. Go support a black-owned business today. Go use your voice today.
Lyrics That Stick:
“They pull me over
I’m showing them both of my hands
And watching my words
I got insurance, no warranty
Pointing his gun like he wanna blow it”
