Tee Grizzley is laying down the raw gospel of survival on Street Psalms, his unflinching new album out tomorrow (November 14, 2025) via 300 Entertainment, and Slow Me Down catches you in that rare quiet spot, where the relentless grind forces a hard look in the mirror before the streets call you back.
Grizzley’s music has always felt like dispatches from the front, and this track keeps that spirit alive. It’s got his signature Detroit trap pulse—deep 808s rumbling under sharp hi-hats, with a melodic hook that creeps in like a moment of doubt mid-hustle. He teased it in a quick studio clip on his IG stories last week, that half-smile saying he knows the slowdown never lasts. No features here, just Grizzley solo, produced to let the vulnerability breathe without softening the edge—think echoes of his early First Days Out fire, but wiser now, shaped by years of turning pain into platinum.
Street Psalms isn’t just another drop; it’s a 20-track sermon for the trenches, pulling from Grizzley’s own scripture of trials and triumphs. The concept hit home in his tracklist reveal on Instagram yesterday: “Real ones gone relate, lost ones gone wake up—this the gospel of the trenches.” It kicks off reflective with In My Life, builds through collabs like Seen Enough with Polo G and Voicemail alongside Rod Wave, then winds through street tales like Chicken Different and Internet Detectives before closing on New Chapter. Expect that mix of gritty anthems and soul-searching cuts, clocking around an hour of no-filler bars over beats from heavy hitters like Helluva.
Grizzley’s at a peak that’s hard-earned, fresh off Forever My Moment earlier this year and those packed homecoming shows in Detroit where the crowd recited his lines like prayers. From jail bars to chart climbs, he’s evolved into the voice that doesn’t just tell the story—he lives it, turning personal psalms into anthems that pull you through your own mess.

Lyrics of Slow Me Down by Tee Grizzley
[Intro]
But I’ve Been Running To
Tryna Make My Own Way
Got Dreams I’m Chasing
Plans I Made, But I Keep Falling When The Mood Down
Sometimes I Talk, But I Don’t Listen
Got My Will And Your Graciousness
I Keep Learning That I Can’t Win
When I Don’t Let You In (Slow Down)
[Chorus]
When I Start (When I Start To Stray)
Uh-uh (I Start To Stray)
In My Heart (Uh)
Show Me Your Way
If I Get Lost (Lost)
Lord, Bring Me Around (Lord, Bring Me Around)
Helps Me Be Heard (It Helps Me Be Heard)
Just Slow Me Down (G7, Okay, Okay, Okay)
[Verse 1]
Some Nights, I Can’t Sleep, It’s So Much On My Soul (My Soul)
I’m Chasing All My Dreams (My Dreams), I Ain’t There Yet, But I’m Close (Close)
Gotta Get Out Here And Grind, But I Just Want To Stay At Home (Stay At Home)
I Try To Focus, But It Just Be Too Much Going On (It Be Too Much Going On)
You Want A Family, You Come From A Broken Home (From A Broken Home)
Just Pick ’em Right ’cause Your Emotions, You Cannot Control
I Seen A Real Nigga Try That With A Known Ho
She Kept Doing Ho Shit, He Crashed Out, He On Parole (He On Parole)
I Deal With Other People Shit More Than I Do My Own (More Than My Own)
Got So Many Missed Calls, I’m Tired Of This Phone (Tired Of This Phone)
Might Be Some Airy Shit, I Never Feel Like I Be Wrong
Might Need A Therapist, I’m Lonely When I’m Not Alone (When I’m Not Alone)
And I Know How It Feel (How It Feel)
Praying You Get Something, Then It Fall At Your Heels
That’s How I Know That He Real (Know That He Real)
And They Keep Hitting These Kids
Don’t Never Get The Niggas That They Went There To Kill
You Niggas Bogus, For Real, Uh
[Chorus]
When I Start (When I Start To Stray)
I Start To Stray
In My Heart (Oh)
Show Me Your Way
If I Get Lost (Lost)
Lord, Bring Me Around (Lord, Bring Me Around)
Helps Me Be Heard (It Helps Me Be Heard)
Just Slow Me Down (Okay, Okay, Okay, G7, G7)
[Verse 2]
I Thank God For This Music, But The People In It Ain’t For Me (It Ain’t For Me)
I’m The Same Every Time You See Me, Ain’t Shit Fake With Me (Shit Fake With Me)
I Cannot Fake Kick It For No Feature, That Shit Lame To Me (Lame To Me)
You Bigger Than Me And I Really Need It, I’ll Just Pay The Fee (Pay The Fee)
Some Days, I Don’t Wanna Talk (Wanna Talk), It Don’t Be Shit To Say (Ayy)
Some People Talk Too Much, I Tell They Ass, “Get Out My Face” (Get Out My Face)
Trust Actions, Not Words, They’ll Tell You Anything (They’ll Tell You Anything)
You Don’t Watch ’em, They’ll Piss On You And Tell You That It’s Rainin’
God Got Me And This Glock By Me, I Am Safe (I Feel Safe)
I Don’t Know What They Think, But Me And Them Are Not The Same
I Paid That Girl To Leave, You Paid That Girl To Stay (Paid Her To Stay)
She Said F**k Me, But I Never Liked Her Anyway (I Never Liked Her Anyway)
And I Know How It Feel (How It Feel)
Praying You Get Something, Then It Fall At Your Heels
That’s How I Know That He Real (That’s How I Know That He Real)
And She Don’t Know How To Chill
Stay Looking For Something, What The F**k Is Your Deal?
You Probably Need To Go Heal, Baby (Probably Need To Go Heal)
Slow Me Down, Slow Me Down (Slow Me Down)
Take My Eyes Off Us Around
Your Spirit’s Moving Here And Now (Right Here And Now)
And I Don’t Want To Miss Your Presence
