[Refrain]
Big Dipper, Big Dipper, Big Dipper
Big Dipper, Big Dipper, Big Dipper
Big Dipper, Big Dipper, Big Dipper
Big Dipper, Big Dipper, Big Dipper

[Verse 1]
Martyr for dollars, pull the slot, strip mall hollers, buy a yacht
One for all, all for not, denial pays placebo bot
I Kzap slap aristoclot, traffickers of permastock
Then catwalk backwards out of the box
Through holes in my dirty socks
(I'm a) Scarecrow dialect dispatch on that shit kommando mix
Matte moxy subwooferish junkie maxi mumbai lit
(I'm a) Feng shui like, "Fuck's in that spliff?"
Impurified conduct
Ionosphere R. Mutt
By product deluxe

[Chorus]
I'm a bullshitter
I'm a shitty stripper
I'm a silhouette lifter
I'm a struck stuck off kilter
I'm a bent bewildered
I'm a fucking downer
I'm a binge thinner
I'm a Big Dipper
I'm a bullshitter
I'm a shitty stripper
I'm a silhouette lifter
I'm a struck stuck off kilter
I'm a bent bewildered
I'm a fucking downer
I'm a binge thinner
I'm a Big Dipper
I'm a

[Refrain]
Big Dipper, Big Dipper, Big Dipper
Big Dipper, Big Dipper, Big Dipper
Big Dipper, Big Dipper, Big Dipper
Big Dipper, Big Dipper, Big Dipper

[Verse 2]
Humanizer, conscience wiper
Hypnotaser, real tired
Ursa Major, significance minor
Me no filter, sorta on icer
I'm a
My Godzilla's epoxy primered
I can't feel your ego shiner
I'm a
Vile of sickle shh shh shivers
Hypocritic Big Dipper

[Chorus]
I'm a bullshitter
I'm a shitty stripper
I'm a silhouette lifter
I'm a struck stuck off kilter
I'm a bent bewildered
I'm a fucking downer
I'm a binge thinner
I'm a Big Dipper
I'm a

[Refrain]
Big Dipper, Big Dipper, Big Dipper
Big Dipper, Big Dipper, Big Dipper
Big Dipper, Big Dipper, Big Dipper
Big Dipper, Big Dipper, Big Dipper

[Chorus]
I'm a bullshitter (Big Dipper, Big Dipper, Big Dipper)
I'm a shitty stripper
I'm a silhouette lifter (Big Dipper, Big Dipper, Big Dipper)
I'm a struck stuck off kilter
I'm a bent bewildered (Big Dipper, Big Dipper, Big Dipper)
I'm a fucking downer
I'm a binge thinner (Big Dipper, Big Dipper, Big Dipper)
I'm a Big Dipper
I'm a

[Outro]
It's my pyre, agoraphobe if I want to, afford to be consumed
This pyre's my costume; get too close, it'll lick you
Like it likes you, cause it loathes you even more than I do

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.
