[Chorus 1]
Who you think you are?
Fucks like, "Do you know who I am?"
Fucks fail to understand
I'm like, "Eh"
Who you think you are?
Fucks like, "Do you know who I am?"
Fucks fail to understand
I'm like, "Eh"

[Verse 1]
Two letter text, translation: next
Skip that rerun like ya see one
Seen 'em all get eh
Have you the slightest I.D. why?
You're so trifling
Second I see you coming I'm teeth sucking like, eh
My voice, eh
See my reflection, eh
Invited, excited, eh, eh

[Chorus 2]
Who you think you are?
Fucks like, "Do you know who I am?"
Fucks fail to understand
I'm like, "Eh"
Who you think you are?
Fucks like, "Do you know who I am?"
Fucks fail to understand
I must confess, I'm like, "Eh"

[Verse 2]
No one's ever seen me feel shit but eh
Lil' bits of eh gleaming, like Piss Christ
Cover me like skintight
Why my rep is like why they might be right
I'm kinda sketch, I might
Shoot a glance at the desperate like
Then I forget shit like Death Grips, like eh
I wave them off, I wave them in
Gotta flake, I fuck 'em off 'cause I ain't them
I'm like, "Eh"

[Chorus 1]
Who you think you are?
Fucks like, "Do you know who I am?"
Fucks fail to understand
I'm like, "Eh"
Who you think you are?
Fucks like, "Do you know who I am?"
Fucks fail to understand
I'm like, "Eh"

[Verse 3]
My approach like I'm ghost-like
I'm out of focus 'cause
I'm coated with the most stripes
Late movement on my trajectory
Anomalous like entropy
Make all things perforated
They apply iodine to trace this, I'm like, "Eh"

[Bridge]
Posse up steadily feel your void split, I'm like...
Posse up steadily feel your void split, I'm like..."Eh"

[Chorus 3]
Who you think you are?
Fucks like, "Do you know who I am?"
Fucks fail to understand
I'm like, "Eh"
Who put your obese flex on ice?
Whose effortless corrupts your dice?
Who does you just like I told you?
Tell me, what's it like, I'm like

[Verse 4]
Don't be a, don't be a
'Bout mummified worm in the sun
When shit's up to me 'cause
I figure I'll watch you urn, I'm not concerned
I'm on leisure like, eh
I'm just on leisure
Why fuss don't be a medical procedure
Just stamp my fucking visa
I'm way too loose like
Catch me hanging from my noose like, eh
How I vandalize full moon like
"You're so serious, ease off
I don't feed animals, you seem lost"
I'm offended like, but in the end I'm like, eh

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.
