[Chorus]
L.A. creepin' under my skin
L.A. L.A. creepin' under my skin
L.A. L.A. creepin' under my skin
L.A. L.A. creepin' under my skin
Creepin' under my skin
L.A. L.A. creepin' under my skin
L.A. L.A. creepin' under my skin
L.A. L.A. creepin' under my skin

[Verse 1]
L.A. creepin' under my skin
One way ticket to big island
Cut off eyelid, still I can't see
Try to realize before dead weight
'Bout out of time speed checkmate
Internal fall out can't escape
Jungle call fuck back indoors
Nothing 'round here I must see more

[Chorus]
L.A. creepin' under my skin
L.A. L.A. creepin' under my skin
L.A. L.A. creepin' under my skin
L.A. L.A. creepin' under my skin
Creepin' under my skin
L.A. L.A. creepin' under my skin
L.A. L.A. creepin' under my skin
L.A. L.A. creepin' under my skin

[Verse 2]
So harsh in here think I've gone mad
Can't tell if I went too far
Lost my phone man shit's all bad
No landline no mac no car
No map show where skullfuck I am
Alone can't cut off both my hands
I'm in the fuckin' big house

[Chorus]
L.A. creepin' under my skin
L.A. L.A. creepin' under my skin
L.A. L.A. creepin' under my skin
L.A. L.A. creepin' under my skin
Creepin' under my skin
L.A. L.A. creepin' under my skin
L.A. L.A. creepin' under my skin
L.A. L.A. creepin' under my skin

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.
