[Hook 1]
Burn through it, burn through it
I'm not takin' turns to it, turns to it
You know we burn through it, burn through it
We ain't takin' turns to it, turns to it

[Verse 1]
Coughin' up sirens, I'm firin'
Krokodil lips off your smile
Quit that fidget looks suspicious
Who that screw that ain't got my digits?

[Hook 2]
Fear over pride (Lil boy)
Flood you can't hide (Lil boy)
Face of a woman (Lil boy)
Tears of a child (Lil boy)

[Verse 2]
I'm rising sign of sulfur
Skeletal bell toller
Handle in each of my tentacles
I'm moonshining juice, don't try me
Live to feel life beat me, nothing hurts
I'm seething, your smoke signals proceed me
I'm inside my TV where everyone but I can see me
(Why are you here?)

[Hook 2]
Fear over pride (Lil boy)
Flood you can't hide (Lil boy)
Face of a woman (Lil boy)
Tears of a child (Lil boy)

[Hook 1]
Burn through it, burn through it
I'm not takin' turns to it, turns to it
You know we burn through it, burn through it
We ain't takin' turns to it, turns to it

[Refrain]
You know we-
You know we burn through it, burn through it
I'm not takin' turns to it, turns to it
You know we-

[Verse 3]
See myself come spin through top of you
My flint lit slit that attitude
Lil brain got confused
Choo choo train of thought in my logic loop

[Hook 2]
Fear over pride (Lil boy)
Flood you can't hide (Lil boy)
Face of a woman (Lil boy)
Tears of a child (Lil boy)

[Verse 4]
Broken hands on all my fingers
Buckle down my knuckles like screamers
Stitch up my blown out trench with leather streamers
I'm chain-linked fence that splits dream and dreamer
I keep 'em hangin' from my balcony, shrivel in my sun
Warm piss showin' through his cheap slacks, this bitch is done
Open my front, ragin' like I've never slept
Make him cry like a baby formula on the breath

[Hook 2]
Needle of your eye (Lil boy)
River Nile wide (Lil boy)
Fear over pride (Lil boy)
Flood you can't hide (Lil boy)
Face of a woman (Lil boy)
Tears of a child (Lil boy)
In a foreign land (Lil boy)
Single file

[Hook 1]
You know we burn through it, burn through it
We ain't takin turns to it, turns to it
You know we burn through it, burn through it
We ain't takin turns to it, turns to it
Burn through it, burn through it
We ain't takin turns to it, turns to it
You know we burn through it, burn through it
We ain't takin turns to it, turns to it

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.
