[Refrain]
Wah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, disappointed
Wah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, disappointed
Wah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, disappointed
Wah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, disappointed

[Verse 1]
Called shots, cheap shots, slack jaws, low blows
Weak chins, chin checked, chin up like cholos
No life signs left, ah, yes, try mine
This thresh hold thresh, hold stretch, life times
Machine, human, malformed machine
Uninformed unit, forlorn regime
Metamorph me into done for at last
At least until my present shore has passed

[Chorus]
Why me? Why me?
Why me? Why me?
Why me?!

[Refrain]
Wah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, disappointed
Wah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, disappointed
Wah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, disappointed
Wah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, disappointed

[Verse 2]
Nut job, no job, fuck jobs, not hired
Low lands, road rash, war path, crossfire
Nonthreats, hot mess, known threats, stalk less
Talk less, show less, snatch yours trap doors
Ripper, ripper, skin tight, too tight
Too tight, holding solid, moonlight, moonlight
Moonlight, kevlar coated slit moon, lunar gush
Lunar gush, carry on carrion never been far enough
Hocus breaking in and centering
Broke in and gave up on everything, everything

[Chorus]
Why me?!
Why me? Why me?
Why me? Why me?

[Refrain]
Wah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, disappointed
Wah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, disappointed
Wah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, disappointed
Wah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, di-dah, disappointed

[Verse 3]
Rot clot, corpse clutch, corpse clot, your husk
Scorned husk, born shook, torn trick, core breached
Shook, fuck, shit head, bitch, too short street
Shut, fuck up or fed, both, you're-

[Outro]
Disappointed

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.
