In My Life Lyrics – Tee Grizzley

In My Life Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
This part is basically Tee Grizzley getting pumped and setting the mood. He’s saying he’s ready to get things moving, full of energy, and that he’s about to tell his story. It’s like when someone slaps you on the shoulder and says, “Pay attention, this is important.” He’s also giving a shoutout to people he’s working with, signaling teamwork, and showing that he’s serious about what’s coming next. The intro sets the stage for the mix of confidence, struggle, and loyalty that runs through the whole song.

[Verse 1]
Here, he’s talking about both his lifestyle and the realities he faces on the streets. He starts by showing off wealth and success, like having expensive cars and sending expensive things to people, but he also says he doesn’t force things; whatever is meant for him will happen naturally. He deals with rumors and negativity online but refuses to let it get to him, cutting off people who aren’t real. A big part of this verse is about loyalty and protecting the people close to him. He wants his friends and family to do well and live comfortably, which is why he works so hard. He also touches on relationships, noticing people who are just there for fun versus people who genuinely care. Loss and grief are in the back of his mind too—he wishes he could celebrate freedom for friends instead of mourning losses, showing the personal side of street life. He talks about danger as a real part of his world, warning that messing with him isn’t safe. Jail calls from his friends remind him of loyalty and brotherhood, and he shows frustration when people say they’ll support him but fail to follow through. Overall, this verse is a mix of flexing, loyalty, loss, and lessons about trust.

[Chorus]
The chorus focuses on trust, betrayal, and lessons learned from life. He’s clear that words alone don’t mean anything; actions are what count. He’s had people in his life who promised support but ended up switching sides or letting him down. Because of that, he’s careful about who he lets close and is ready to cut people off when necessary. He also reflects on how difficult it was to rise from being broke and how long it took to get things right in life. When someone crosses him, he doesn’t hesitate to respond accordingly. Love and loyalty are serious topics for him; he won’t say he loves someone unless he really feels it, and he’s aware that people often change sides depending on what benefits them. This part is about learning from pain, staying cautious, and making sure he surrounds himself with real, trustworthy people.

[Verse 2]
This verse goes deeper into action, street reality, and how he navigates danger. He warns that anyone who plays games with him or his crew will face serious consequences. Many people just talk and don’t actually want conflict, and he can spot that from a mile away. He talks about scary situations, like legal trouble or violent encounters, and the importance of staying cautious and strategic. Money and success remain a focus, and he’s determined to keep winning and making moves, showing how hard work is essential in his world. Relationships and trust are recurring themes here too—he notices when people are lying, trying to manipulate him, or only interested in his success or attention. He also mentions attraction to women but is careful because he can’t always trust intentions. The verse also shows preparation and protection; he talks about being ready for danger even when under surveillance, showing how serious he is about his safety. He balances ambition, caution, loyalty, and awareness, giving listeners a picture of both the risks and rewards of his life.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the lessons he’s learned about trust and betrayal. Fake promises and unreliable people make him wary, and he doesn’t want anyone in his life who can’t be trusted. He reflects on the struggle of being broke and how hard it was to overcome it, reinforcing why loyalty and honesty are so important to him now. He makes it clear he won’t fake feelings or say he loves someone if he doesn’t truly mean it, and he notices how quickly people can switch sides. The repetition of this chorus drives home the idea that life has taught him to protect himself, be selective with relationships, and focus on what really matters: real people, family, success, and survival.
