[Intro]
It's death

[Hook]
I say kill it like ya, you say hate it
Kill it like ya hate it, kill it like ya hate it
I say arrrgghh, you say can't take it
Aarrgghh, can't take it, arrrgghh, can't take it
Get em, get em

[Verse 1]
Fuck you starin' at? Didn't know I'd be so quick to flash, Terrified by the way a basilisk come out him skin so fast
Not the first, won't be the last
Barrel of my gun down the hatch
187 deep throat chokin'
Eat this fourty-four magnum dick (up)
Murder the bar raiser, inverted cross fader
Ash lung blastin' bum rush balls to the wall, bitch slayer
Rainin' blood, burnin 'paper, A. Jackson's catchin' vapors
Fuck this cage, I'll thrash you later

[Hook]
I say kill it like you, you say hate it
Kill it like you hate it, kill it like you hate it
I say arrrgghh, you say can't take it
Arrgghh, can't take it, Arrrgghh, can't take it
Get em, get em
I say kill it like ya, you say hate it
Kill it like ya hate it, kill it like ya hate it
I say arrrgghh, you say can't take it
Aarrgghh, can't take it, arrrgghh, can't take it
Get em, get em

[Verse 2]
Step to me with that bullshit like I don't know what you're doin'
Talkin' fast, lookin' shady
You can't fade me, keep it movin'
Hopes that mo' cash will help you cope
Sorry to tell you, but it won't
"How do I get out then?" You don't
Can't keep this locked down, fuck that
Watch me now, fit to crush that
Hit it once, knock it down and I'm done can't
Stop this break out, get it come back
Underground railroad, gunclaps
To sound of sirens screamin'
Count on it, I'm leavin'

[Hook]
I say kill it like you, you say hate it
Kill it like you hate it, kill it like you hate it
I say arrrgghh, you say can't take it
Arrrgghh, can't take it, Arrrgghh, can't take it
I say kill it like ya, you say hate it
Kill it like ya hate it, kill it like ya hate it
I say arrrgghh, you say can't take it
Aarrgghh, can't take it, arrrgghh, can't take it
(Get 'em, get 'em, cause I had to get 'em though)

[Bridge]
Yeah I got that man, fo' show
But tell 'em why you had to get 'em though

[Verse 3]
(Get 'em, get 'em, cause I had to get 'em though)
Cause the beat bangs, cause we came to flip the oz out your sleep train
When the smoke clears, who remains?
This right here, why we claim
Out of nowhere, for keeps game
Don't go there, this the real thing
(Get 'em, get 'em, cause I had to get 'em though)
Board the plane, they're watchin' me
Bullshit stains what they want from me
Fuck that man, my philosophy:
Don't take a goddamn thing
Voice in my head, "Kill everything"
(Startin' with this asshole right next to me)
(Get 'em, get 'em, cause I had to get 'em though)
(Get 'em)

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.
