[Intro]
I'm smoking cigarettes in the shower; when they get wet I just light another, fatal
Cardiac over cancer, don't gimme no suffer
Steal me over feel me linger, until I'm six under
Ain't a fucking thing sacred, when I get naked
It's death!

[Verse 1]
I'm lighting up like Vegas
All sevens king of pentacles
I'm chaining like it's money, dirty money, surgeons general
As if my flesh keeps me prisoner
As if
I've been spinning chambers since the day I was born
Like, what's it all for?
Like, why the fuck not?
Fuck if I don't get off I don't know how to be caught

[Chorus 1]
I get off at all costs
I'm turned off
Pah-pow, pah-pow
I'll fuck you off at no cost
You're turned off
Pah-pow, pah-pow
I'm turned off won't be back soon
Look up see my nuts slap the moon
I'm turned off like a myth
Can't look me up, I don't exist
I spin the chamber 'tween my lips
I pull the trigger like a gif
I can't get hit, I've never lost
I'm a rumor, I'm turned off

[Verse 2]
My footprint precedes me follow me
I'm all the way over my species
My footprint so dropped it's bottomless
Species call my redwings apocalypse
You want this bitch I drop a bitch
Snuff your bloodclot metropolis
Trail of anonymous casualties
Pah pow boom, mastery
I've been over that glass house
All my windows blacked out
Straight jacked up, the fuck up
Guts up man down
My man stand down
I'm not with it
I drop liquid
Red light district
Can't be finished
You never started
You run for martyr
While I'd push harsher
Lose it more further
Lose it more nerder
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
(Boom, boom, boom, boom)

[Chorus 2]
I get off at all costs
I'm turned off
Pah-pow, pah-pow
I'll fuck you off at no cost
You're turned off
Pah-pow, pah-pow
Take off my shirt cause it hurt, form of murder
Art of indifference trump consequences
Like first off, I'm turned off
Pah-pow, pah-pow

[Bridge]
Trust me you can't trust me try trust me you'll see why
When I see you through the ringer, my ringer catch deuce deuce
I repeat like pi my ringer catch deuce deuce divided seven times
I'll lead you to where am I

[Chorus 2]
I get off at all costs
I'm turned off
Pah-pow, pah-pow
I'll fuck you off at no cost
You're turned off
Pah-pow, pah-pow

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.
