Tee Grizzley is laying down the gospel straight from the trenches with Street Psalms, his raw new album hitting November 14 via 300 Entertainment, and Made It That Way slices through like that one truth you been dodging, heavy with the weight of choices that shaped the path.
Grizzley’s sound has always carried that Detroit edge, and this track keeps it real—think booming 808s and sparse piano keys that let his voice ride front and center, switching from urgent flows to those paused reflections that make you lean in. It’s hip-hop at its most lived-in, pulling from trap roots but leaning heavier into personal reckonings, like owning the moves that locked in your circle or pushed folks away. He hinted at it in that Instagram tracklist drop last week, captioning it like a wake-up call for the real ones, tying right into the album’s vibe of survival stories turned scripture.
The album’s a 20-track deep dive into that “gospel of the trenches” he preached on IG—tracks like In My Life kicking off the testimony, Chicken Different flexing the wins, and closers like New Chapter hinting at what’s next. It’s got that narrative pull, from early grinds to late-night doubts, clocking around 45 minutes of no-filler bars that feel like chapters from his book.
Grizzley’s in his bag right now, wrapping that Forever My Moment tour last week in Grand Rapids with crowds chanting his name like family. He’s been dropping heat non-stop since bouncing back from the lows, turning jail stories into platinum plaques, and this feels like him at peak form—wiser, sharper, less about flash and more about the lessons that stick.
X is already turning up with tracklist reactions, folks quoting that IG caption over old Grizzley clips and calling Street Psalms the one to reset the playlist.

Lyrics of Made It That Way by Tee Grizzley
[Intro]
(Pipe That Shit Up, TnT)
(Tril Got That Juice, Nigga)
Uh, Uh
[Verse 1]
I Don’t Want Nothin’ But Love
I Don’t Want Nothin’, But F**k It, You Keep Your Word
I Don’t Want Nothin’ But Trust
(I Don’t Want Nothin’ But Trust, Want Nothin’ But Trust)
Uh, Shorty Been Dealin’ With Life, She Don’t Want Nothin’ But Shots
She Wanted It, She Don’t Even Want It With Ice (She Don’t Even Want It With Ice)
Damn, Baby, I Feel Your Pain
They Good For Talkin’ Behind Your Back And Smilin’ Your Face
Just Cut ’em Off, All ’em Fake, You Don’t Need ’em Anyway
You Kept It Real The Whole Time And They Couldn’t Do The Same Thing
I’m Sorry, But You Gotta Keep Bein’ You
Be Careful Tellin’ Them ’bout Theyself,
You Know They Can’t Stand The Truth
(Know They Can’t Stand The Truth)
And Don’t Expect Them To Have A Good Heart,
They Ain’t Comin’ Like You (Ain’t Comin’ Like You)
But You’ll See It, God See It, He Know The Truth (Know The Truth)
Baby, Hearin’ ’bout What Other People Think Gon’ Drive You Crazy (Crazy)
Arguin’ With Me Knowin’ You Wrong Gon’ Irritate Me (Irritate)
I Ain’t Never Wanted To Say, “F**k ’em,” But They Made Me
You Niggas Made It That Way
You Know I Never Been Foolish,
See Right Through The Shit They Tried To Cover It Up
Rather Leave You Alone Before I [?] Troublin’ Up
Real Hate On The Net, But Fake Love Whenever They Run Into Us
I’m Not Satisfied With 99, Nigga, That Ain’t A Hunnid And Up
[Interlude]
(That Ain’t A Hunnid And Up)
You Niggas Made It That Way (That Ain’t A Hunnid And Up)
You Niggas Made It That Way
[Verse 2]
Uh, He Don’t Want Nothin’ But Guns
He Don’t Even Want No Thirty, That Ain’t Enough,
He Don’t Want Nothin’ But Drums
(He Don’t Want Nothin’ But Drums, Want Nothin’ But Drums)
Uh, Youngin Been Dealin’ With Life,
Best Friend Got Killed And His Bitch Been F**kin’ With One Of His Guys
Damn, Youngin, I Feel Your Pain
You Want Them To Hurt Like You,
You Lettin’ Your Weapon Flame (Lettin’ Your Weapon Flame)
You Don’t Even Care If You Die Today,
It’s Gon’ Happen Anyway (Gon’ Happen Anyway)
The Way They Killed Your Mans, You Tryna Do Them Boys The Same Way
I’m Sorry, But You Gotta Know How To Move (Gotta Know How To Move)
You Gotta Learn How This Shit Work ’cause
They Ain’t Gon’ Teach You In School (They Ain’t Gon’ Teach You In School)
Niggas You Locked In With’ll Get Caught,
Then Tell ’em It’s You (Then Tell ’em It’s You)
And Them The Same Niggas That Was Screamin’, “Gang, Gang, Gang”
Man, We Been Through So Much Shit,
We Can’t Even Force Ourself To Cry (Can’t Even Force Ourself To Cry)
On Days I Wanna Do Shit, I Gotta Force Myself To Try (Gotta Force Myself To Try)
Can’t Leave Without My Weapon,
Niggas Torchin’ Shit Outside (Niggas Torchin’ Shit Outside)
Makin’ It Home At Night A Major Blessin’,
I Thank God (A Major Blessin’, I Thank God)
Where The Lifeguard? I See People Drownin’ In Problems (Problems)
Current Homeless, Jobless, Need A Few Thousand
Can’t Come To My Crib, Meet Me At Birmingham, At The Thousand (Thousand)
Can’t Let You Niggas Know Where I Stay
But You Niggas Made It That Way
You Niggas Made It That Way
Uh, I Didn’t Make Things That Way
Uh, You Niggas Made It That Way
