Tee Grizzley Mr. Officer
These current times have called for many artists to get into the studio. Rappers and singers are sharing their frustrations and hopes for the future on wax, and Tee Grizzley has partnered with Queen Naija and members of the Detroit Youth Choir to craft “Mr. Officer.” On the anthem-like single, Tee Grizzley raps about the realities of excessive force used by the police as Queen Naija and the DYC sing the chorus, telling “Mr. Officer” that “Y’all are killing us.”
On YouTube, Tee Grizzley shared a few thoughts about his track. “I got a million experiences I can touch on in my music, but I couldn’t make another song without speaking on what’s going on 💔,” he wrote. I’m not a politician or activist but right now it’s everybody’s job to speak up because the pain, the struggle for equality and the brutality is real. ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏽” Stream “Mr. Officer” and let us know what you think.

Lyrics
[Intro]
Helluva made this beat, baby
[Chorus: Queen Naija & Tee Grizzley]
Mister Officer, Mister Officer
Y’all are killin’ us, Mister Officer
What if that was my brother? (What if that was my brother?)
What if that was my dad? (What if that was my dad?)
What if that was my uncle? (What if that was my uncle?)
What if they were all I had? (That was all I had?)
[Chorus: Detroit Youth Choir, Queen Naija, & Tee Grizzley]
Mister Officer, Mister Officer
Y’all are killin’ us, Mister Officer
What if that was my brother?
What if that was my dad?
What if that was my uncle?
What if that was all I had?
[Verse 1: Tee Grizzley]
Y’all supposed to be the heroes though
You know, protect and serve
Y’all takin’ us off of the Earth
I see the police and it fuck with my nerves
They pullin’ me over, I’m showin’ them both of my hands
And watchin’ my words
I got insurance, no warrants
He pointin’ his gun like he wanna blow it
Tell me why we gotta die
He went for his wallet, reached for a gun
You think that’s some shit he’d try? On a cop?
He can’t breathe and you still chokin’ him, man, why would he lie?
Your knee in his neck, you ain’t gotta do all that
It’s one against five
RIP
[Chorus: Detroit Youth Choir & Queen Naija]
Mister Officer (Mister Officer), Mister Officer (Yeah-yeah)
Y’all are killing us, Mister Officer
What if that was my brother? (What if that was my brother?)
What if that was my dad? (What if that was my dad?)
What if that was my uncle? (What if it was my sister, yeah?)
What if that was all I had? (Ooh, woah-woah)
[Verse 2: Tee Grizzley]
They put that badge on and feel like they better than us (They do)
Right now, it’s seemin’ like they job is to make it tragic for us (It is for sure)
Crazy part about it, it only happen to us (To us)
They brought us here against our will, now they ain’t happy with us (Huh?)
That’s crazy
Now they talkin’ ’bout, “Be cool,” no
Let people do what they do
I see a lot of people not sayin’ nothin’
Like what if that shit was you? Huh?
What if that was your brother? (Huh?)
What if that was your dad? (Huh?)
What if that was your son?
What if that was all you had? Huh?
[Chorus: Detroit Youth Choir & Queen Naija]
Mister Officer (Mister Officer), Mister Officer (Woah)
Y’all are killing us (I never wanna die, no), Mister Officer
What if that was my brother? (That was my brother?)
What if that was my dad? (That was my dad?)
What if that was my uncle? (That was my uncle?)
What if that was all I had? (What if it was all I had?)
[Outro: Detroit Youth Choir & Tee Grizzley]
Mister Officer (Mister Officer), Mister Officer (Mister Officer)
Y’all are killing us (Y’all are killing us), Mister Officer
What if that was my brother? (What if that was my brother?)
What if that was my dad? (What if that was my dad?)
What if that was my uncle? (What if that was my uncle?)
What if that was all I had? (All I had)
