[Hook 1]
So you really wanna know
Double, double, double
So you really wanna how I freak it
Double, double
So you really wanna know
Double, double, double
So you really wanna how I freak it
Double

[Verse 1]
Bangin' bones on Roland
Jungle rottin'
Chicken skeletal system bombin'
Unidentified genre abductor
Hit it from the back
Formula fucker
Hooded executor of
Cookie cutter
Can't wait to pull that trigger, shut gunner
(Double, double, so you really wanna know)
Cock the hammer
Droppin' thunder
Double helix stopper
Under influence of that
Head knock, what a
Oh fuckin' G, what a
Oh fuckin' G, fuck it up
Bitch, you don't know me
Run it, blood, ride reel to reel low key
How's it feel, feel, feel, easy
Make it bloody, make it bloody
Ain't really nothin' else
I see any more
Gone in the cause
I'm bleeding for

[Hook 2]
So you really wanna know
Double, double, double
So you really wanna know
Double, double, double
So you really wanna know I freak it
Double, double helix

[Verse 2]
Live in a trance, can't see you
Don't want to anyway, anywhere
What'd you say? Forgot you were even there
Head float astray
Clear the air
Be back when you think I'm gone
Blue jay way, don't belong
Double helix phoenix
From beyond
(Double, so you really wanna know how I freak it)
Rorschach ink blot
In the street
Skid row mark
Show me the beast
I'm the lust, you can't hide
That balled up, fist gut inside
Strapped to, suicide
Missions set off
With so much pride
You can see it
In a dead man's eyes
(So you really wanna know)
No maps with directions
No answers, just questions
Second guessing everything you swore was so, can't
Tell you what to do
But I'll tell you why I threw
All the rules out the window
And took an oath to be true
With the one and only view
A man can ever truly know, know, know, know

[Hook 2]
So you really wanna know
Double, double, double
So you really wanna how
Double, double, double
So you really wanna know I freak it
Double, double helix

[Bridge]
Been there and back
'Nough tracks I am
The rail to the road
We run like scam

[Verse 3]
Drop it on the one
And it's on like damn
Well I never thought
Uh huh, oh yeah
Like I didn't know
Wake up, young blood
Ain't nobody sleepin'
And they never was
Off the cliff in a blur of black blood and hoodoo hexin' guts I thought you heard them ghetto birds hollering every time I bust
Swallow it down and lap it up, can't do that (Double), I'm-a have to cut
[Outro]
So you really wanna know
Double, double, double
So you really wanna know
Double, double, double
So you really wanna know I freak it
Double
So you really wanna know how I freak it
Double, double helix

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.
