[Intro: Andrew Adamson]
February 20th, Los Angeles, California
I’m in the studio with Death Grips
They’re working on their new album at Sunset Sound Studios
6650 Sunset Boulevard
They have a dilemma, but they’ll win their dilemma

[Refrain]
Dilemma

[Verse 1]
Butterfly ballistic, seax survival
Butcher kukri to trench homicidal
Can’t say I buy them, just show up lately
Lately seem to stalk me like I’m yeti
Like scream of a haunted jetty
Let me be a haunted jetty
Cross I cry banshee like manic falcon
Shrill like losing time on Shasta Mountain

[Chorus 1]
Thingany thingany, so jinx now
She’s wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wild
Pinky ring, pinky ring, show it out
My suh-suh-suh-suh-suh style

[Verse 2]
Shine like sad hung from starry eyed gallows
Like day old glow of carbon eye shadow
Trembling young wounded mammal
Double edge gut judge choke on his gavel (Choke)
Jack slide leave atlantic puddles
Spade slip lives into stranded shuttles
I taxiderm shams with morbid shinto
This three quarter shank, one quarter disco (Choke)
Low res mega evil patina
Pattern maker of myth and trip weaver
Infamous nature in rags like reaper
Like midnight mounted by wayside seekers

[Chorus 2]
Lovely, lovely, they’re so blonde
It’s ah-ah-ah-ah-on and on
Dusty, dusty, so far gone
I’m fuck-fuck-fuck-fuck-fucking wrong

[Bridge]
It’s ah-ah-ah-ah-on and on
It’s ah-ah-ah-ah-on and on
It’s ah-ah-ah-ah-on and on
It’s ah-ah-ah-ah-on and on
It’s ah-ah-ah-ah-on and on
It’s ah-ah-ah-ah-on and on
These knives bleed knives
They cut me, I’ll cut you
Below is above you
Above is below me
I’m dying to try on these knives
You don’t know me

[Refrain]
Dilemma
Dilemma

[Chorus 1]
Thingany thingany, so jinx now
She’s wahwah wah-wah-wah-wild
Pinky ring, pinky ring, show it out
My suh-suh-suh-suh-suh style

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.
