[Intro]
Streaky
Streaky, streaky, streaky
Streaky
Streaky, streaky, streaky, yeah

[Chorus]
Streaky on the outside
Stand by, dealer hold a franchise
Southside, do me 'cause it sounds tight
Streaky on the outside
Oh my (yuh), oh my (yuh)
Booty on the outside
Stand by, dealer hold a franchise
Southside, do me 'cause it sounds tight
Booty on the outside
Oh my (yuh), oh my (yuh)
Flag full of backslide
Bye-bye, do me 'cause it sounds tight
Streaky on the outside
Oh my (yuh), oh my (yuh)
Streaky on the outside
Stand by, dealer hold a franchise
Bye-bye, do me 'cause it sounds tight
Booty on the outside
Oh my (yuh), oh my (yuh), oh my

[Post-Chorus]
Don't throw it on the ground, yuh
Take me to the bank, certified amount
How I heard about, she's a walkabout
Dream time announced
Don't leave your shit around, what
Take me to the bank, certified amount
How I heard about, she's a walkabout
Dream time announced
Booty on the outside

[Verse 1]
Can't double back, double stack, triple stack, jetpack
Low crack, low sale, grand prize, pay 'em gram, can't lag
Might pay to feed that, speed gap (oh my)
Lost highway, speed neck, seek Jane
On deck with no grease trap
High stake that, one-take track, can't fake that
Cut it back, go back, back, take that

[Chorus]
Flag full of backslide
Bye-bye, do me 'cause it sounds tight
Streaky on the outside
Oh my (yuh), oh my (yuh)
Streaky on the outside
Stand by, dealer hold a franchise
Bye-bye, do me 'cause it sounds tight
Booty on the outside
Oh my (yuh), oh my (yuh), oh my (yuh)
Booty on the outside

[Verse 2]
Keratin on pants dried, good to paraglide, blare a fie
Surfin' through a tail pipe
Stick shift stun drive, turn on a tail light, sail like
Learn you how to dead right
Bounce with no downside, down for that joyride
Ghostride, bouta do a no rod
Low ride, grip it like a cheetah fly
Bonafide creeper type

[Chorus]
Streaky on the outside
Stand by, dealer hold a franchise
Southside, do me 'cause it sounds tight
Streaky on the outside
Oh my (yuh), oh my (yuh)
Booty on the outside
Stand by, dealer hold a franchise
Southside, do me 'cause it sounds tight
Booty on the outside
Oh my (yuh), oh my (yuh)

[Post-Chorus]
Don't throw it on the ground, yuh
Take me to the bank, certified amount
How I heard about, she's a walkabout
Dream time announced
Don't leave your shit around, what
Take me to the bank, certified amount
How I heard about, she's a walkabout
Dream time announced
Streaky on the outside

[Bridge]
Streaky
Streaky, streaky, streaky
Streaky
Streaky, streaky, streaky
Booty on the outside
Streaky
Streaky, streaky, streaky
Streaky
Streaky, streaky, streaky
Booty on the outside

[Chorus]
Flag full of backslide
Bye-bye, do me 'cause it sounds tight
Streaky on the outside
Oh my (yuh), oh my (yuh)
Streaky on the outside
Stand by, dealer hold a franchise
Bye-bye, do me 'cause it sounds tight
Booty on the outside
Oh my (yuh), oh my (yuh), oh my (yuh)
Booty on the outside

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.
