“They Shot At Trump” is a wild title.
Do you know what’s impressive about Tee Grizzley? After all these years, he somehow still sounds exactly like he did when he first hit the scene. That kind of consistency is rare. Just look at someone like Rick Ross—compare his day-one tracks to what he’s making now, and it’s a complete transformation. Tee Grizzley, on the other hand, has kept his signature delivery intact. But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t grown.
What has changed is his mindset. These days, Grizzley is noticeably more introspective. Sure, he still drops those gritty, “shoot ’em up” bangers, but now they come paired with moments of real wisdom. And that’s exactly what you get in his latest track, “They Shot At Trump.”
The title alone grabs attention—and while the song isn’t about Trump in the way you might expect, it does include a striking line: “If Trump can get shot, anyone can.” It’s more of a metaphor, a way to say that no one is invincible, not even the powerful. The rest of the track is deeply personal, with Grizzley reflecting on his troubled past, the times he felt like giving up, and how he navigates the streets smarter these days. He also touches on spending freely now that he’s got money—something many can relate to or aspire toward.
His flow on this one isn’t exactly laidback, but it’s definitely more restrained than usual. That slight pullback in aggression pairs perfectly with the production—a dramatic, cinematic beat driven by tense synths that elevate the storytelling.
If negroes shot at Trump, they won’t even waste a bullet on you; they’ll probably just wait for you to die from natural causes.
