[Intro: MC Ride & Alison Powell]
That's me
And that's all you
Can I break it down?
And that's all you
Can I break it, can I break it down?
And that's all you
Can I break it down?
Oh, Mya
And that's all you
That's me
And that's all you
Can I break it, can I break it down? (Oh, Mya)
And that's all you
That's me
And that's all you
Can I break it, can I break it down?
Can I break it, can I break it down? (Oh, Mya)

[Verse 1: MC Ride & Alison Powell]
Nah, n-nah, n-nah, wh-what it do?
Humiliation, I refuse
Inside shaking, nah, I'm cool-cool, got this-
I’m not your-
Bow down, give it-give it to me, baby
I gotta do my girl, she's down
B-B-Been only since I- up (Oh, Mya)
-In the truck
Give me some more, I said it's calm
Callers at the door (Can I break it down?)
Jump on 'em, my- bumps in the whip
Crazy from the heat, talk to the-
Can I break it, can I break it down? (Ugh)
Oh, Mya
Perversion mastiff, seven fingers left
Still curtain pumping, n'oh, I lay Jesus, fresh to death
And God is panic, they gon' tremble
Here me swear, you seen the devil
Hear me step-to with it, fatal
These faces roundtable (Oh, Mya)

[Hook: MC Ride & Alison Powell]
And that's all you
That's me
And that's all you
Can I break it, can I break it down? (Oh, Mya)
And that's all you
That's me
Can I break it down?
And that's all you
Can I break it, can I break it down? (Oh, Mya)

[Verse 2: MC Ride]
Try to break this cycle, broke me
Told me, "You'll see," you don't know me
Kinda freaky, she's bony
So sh-she own me (Own me)
Listen closely, why don't we, one night only?
Can I break it, can I break it down?

[Bridge 1: MC Ride & Alison Powell]
Runnin' out of, runnin' out of
Runnin' out of, runnin' out of
-ck around and lose my mind, I'm on that
Can I break it, can I break it down?
Runnin' out of, runnin' out of
Runnin' out of, runnin' out of
You're runnin' out of tricks
Oh, Mya

[Verse 3: MC Ride & Alison Powell]
Jungling out of my shoulders
Light at the end of the tunnel's
A lie, I look forward to runnin' 'em over
Eye of the storm of the dolo
There you go, there you go
Down that road, down that road (Can I break it down?)
Lost in exhaust with the windows closed
Shut the door, nothing more I can do
Try to see why it would be like this
Tell her roam like palindrome, back and forth
Like all that be, I can see from my back porch
Do it that, do it, I can't try no more
Difficult to live it slow, I'm so bored
If I'm not ever squattin' on my bike
Ridin' 'round like, "Kid, well now I have no life" (Oh, Mya)

[Hook: MC Ride & Alison Powell]
And that's all you
That's me
And that's all you
Can I break it, can I break it down? (Oh, Mya)
And that's all you
That's me
Can I break it down?
And that's all you
Can I break it, can I break it down? (Oh, Mya)

[Verse 4: MC Ride]
Cha-ching slot, micro dot
Bet and lost my spleen in Reno
All them dimes for your casino
Jungle bars, we mescalina
Thin walls (Thin walls), heaving (Heaving)
Linoleum (Linoleum), splitting (Splitting)
Lost in dead, space emitting
A metallic smell, can't take its sickness

[Bridge 2: MC Ride]
Runnin' it, runnin' him over
Can I break it, can I break it down?
Runnin' it, runnin' him over
Can I break it, can I break it down?
Runnin' it, runnin' him over
Can I break it, can I break it down?
Can I break it, can I break it down?

[Bridge 1: MC Ride & Alison Powell]
Runnin' out of, runnin' out of
Runnin' out of, runnin' out of
-ck around and lose my mind, I'm on that
Can I break it, can I break it down?
Runnin' out of, runnin' out of
Runnin' out of, runnin' out of
You're runnin' out of tricks
Oh, Mya

[Verse 5: MC Ride & Alison Powell]
666, I'm at the gates
9, the gate's coming down
8, I escape
11, I'll never be found (Can I break it down?)
7, I die
13, swallow my tail
15, I'm on fire
51, I'm off the scale
Oh, Mya

[Outro: MC Ride & Alison Powell]
And that's all you
That's me
And that's all you
Can I break it, can I break it down? (Oh, Mya)
And that's all you
Runnin' it, runnin' him over (That's me)
And that's all you
Can I break it, can I break it down? (Oh, Mya)
And that's all you
Runnin' it, runnin' him over (That's me)
Down (And that's all you)
Can I break it, can I break it down? (Oh, Mya)
And that's all you
Runnin' it, runnin' him over (That's me)
Down (And that's all you)
Can I break it, can I break it down?

Death Grips

Death Grips is an experimental multi-genre group from Sacramento, CA, formed in 2010. Their music and live performances consist of vocals from Stefan “MC Ride” Burnett and production from Zach Hill and Andy Morin. On July 2nd, 2014, the band officially announced their disbanding via a note on their Facebook page. However, on October 21, 2015, they announced they ‘might make some more’ music together, and released a new album, Bottomless Pit in 2016. Their latest album, Year of the Snitch, was released in 2018.

The band’s music has been described as punk rock, hip-hop, noise, industrial, and electronic. Their sound ranges from minimalistic and trunk-rattling heaviness (such as on “No Love”), to rapping about dark subjects over heavily distorted samples (like on “I’ve Seen Footage”). They have also released two entirely instrumental albums, Fashion Week and Interview 2016, which feature abrasive and violent electronic beats and some guitars.

Frontman Stefan Burnett’s violent lyrics draw inspiration from a struggle both against himself and against the world at large, focusing on themes of individualism, paranoia, mental illness, drug use, occultism, and the emotionally degenerative nature of modern society.
