[Chorus]
My propa-voila-shadow-ganda
My shadow stigmata offer
Left right up, step right up
Get your crisis, why bother
Quack like priest, win five dollar
Melanin pewter cellophane
Arms long as their legs
Even the greys can't oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Voila

[Refrain]
Voila

[Verse 1]
Maybe I belong to you
I'm sure you want me to
My shadow's on to you
Voila-voila
I can't make you like voila
I'll make you love voila
Make you make love to voila holes
Make you replace your faith with voila, hotel
New necklace, new temple, new help, help

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't talk to the help, help
Who's voila suits who too well
Don't talk to the help, help
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
My propa-voila-shadow-ganda
My shadow stigmata offer
Left right up, step right up
Get your crisis, why bother
Quack like priest, win five dollar
Melanin pewter cellophane
Arms long as their legs
Even the greys can't
Voila

[Refrain]
Voila
Voila

[Verse 2]
It's your lucky day, my shadow bernays voila
Aren't you lucky, fuck my shadow gush voila
You're a lucky spin, my shadow spam voila
My shadow slither, my shadow whisper voila
Live in my shadow while you wait to gasp in space
Gasp in my shadow like everything that lives
My shadow incubate everything that is
My shadow cast voila through every one of its kids

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't talk to the help, help
Who's voila suits who too well
Don't talk to the help, help
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
My propa-voila-shadow-ganda
My shadow stigmata offer
Left right up, step right up
Get your crisis, why bother
Quack like priest, win five dollar
Melanin pewter cellophane
Arms long as their legs
Even the greys can't
Voila

[Refrain]
Voila

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.
