[Hook]
My stone wall it's on, dog gaze duct taped to the ceiling
Stucco cave make me illi, okay, okay, feel me
I'm in an eight high abandoned building
No daylight, one midnight lamp lit twenty-four seven
Murdered out windows, two exits
Street or nosedive to the next life in seconds
And suicide ain't my stallion
So I'm surrounded
Geiger count it, not goin' out, shit's 'bout to get kamikaze
Fuck a nazi

[Verse 1]
When the world comes knocking
Fuck the world, fuck this body
Know it won't be long now
Feel my nerves wet my brow
Mood in my tomb, red moon heavy
Sling jaw shot, out the window and yell
Come up and get me

[Verse 2]
I'm epiphanic amnesia
I'm in Jimmy Page's castle
I'm off the planet
Echo astral
Vinyl lasso
The Sacto asshole
I'm not down for anything
Fuck around and say anything

[Hook]
My stone wall it's on, dog gaze duct taped to the ceiling
Stucco cave make me illi, okay, okay, feel me
I'm in an eight high abandoned building
No daylight, one midnight lamp lit twenty-four seven
Murdered out windows, two exits
Street or nosedive to the next life in seconds
And suicide ain't my stallion
So I'm surrounded
Geiger count it, not goin' out, shit's 'bout to get kamikaze
Aaaaaah!
Fuck a nazi

[Bridge]
Come up and get me!

[Verse 3]
My life as a fuck
Ain't one thing I don't hate
Tell me my times almost up
I will say, "I can't wait"
Put your gun to my head
I'll blow smoke in your face
Think you got what it takes?
Come up and get me

[Verse 4]
Can't tell, hell in my head
Thirteenth bell; am I dead
Or in asylum? Pill force-fed
Lyin' to myself, all by myself
Strapped down to my bed
Tongue cut out the mouth of reason
And chucked off the river's edge
Think fast: Is it tear gas or fear masked
By figments of my fragmented mind?
Who's my enemy, them or me?
Step to me and you'll die
Grand delusions magnified
Fuck the truth, wastes my time
It's all good, bet; what's that?
Footsteps on the stairs?
Never could rest; they're always there
Who are they? I don't care
I just know they're tryin' to ex me
Give a fuck, come up and get me

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.
