Death Grips - The Powers That B Lyrics






I can't know what I'm bout to do
I'm what the fuck happens

[Chorus:]
I've got the powers that B
Running through me
My favorite color is oh my god bitch
I'm wearing black gloves through your mall I'm rich
You wanna check my pockets but

I'm what the fuck happens when shit happens
When a fuck gives under no circumstances
Off your clock shit memory persist a clock shit
Lick lick a shot shits cracking
I'm when shit happens cause i'm not acting
Like it like it or not I'm on that shit you're not
I'm this ceremony I gouge you till you're free
As my testimony to the powers that b
I can't know what I'm bout to do
When i can't know what I'm bout to do
I'm what the fuck happened
And i can't know what I'm bout to do
Until its too late for you
To steal my name bow down on cue

[Chorus x2]

I got on my shit kickers
Smoke coming out my fingers again
Can't fuck with the physical world
Cause i comply with the powers that b
I'm never over right now
My stretchers rollin I'm in the white house
The black light house I'm above this life now
I'm beneath me
Raised on short notice by the powers that b
Hook me catch me squeal me in
Gut me hack me crop your grin
Pack me sell me claim we're friends
See me on the street drop your grin
Squint your beady eyes and flinch
Like a sniveling shiesty snitch
Don't fret I know you're just a bitch
I get paid by the universe
Morbidly blasé when I'm not on display
Turn up my mic your hair turn white
I get paid by the universe
I'm on salary
You get no fucks from me
I run the company
On the powers that b
I get paid by the universe

[Chorus x2]

No I ain't shit and I like that
You want a statement i'm like why's that
You're parasites showing thats not my bad
You're bads pathetic your bads your price tag
Your bads embedded in your lives a white flag
A sterilized white flag born bred and buried in it
Wears you like a cherry finish keeps you valuable and shiny
You're a shiny clown to me and the powers that b

    Meh you Get the idea yeah? She does "hip-hop dance" or any other "gesture" like rodeo girl and shitt and it damages enemies. Japanese games are weird but fun, I unlocked this costume and that ability on this character only.

    D.... M....

    You tell em Derek

  22. I.... H....

    Up my sleeces is a dildo

  23. J.... D....

    I remember listening to this back when it first came out. I was stoned with my friend, and this song actually legitimately scared me. Presumably, that's why I've listened to it more than any of DG song.

  24. A.... F....

    Maybe his "fetish" is his life, the only thing that keeps him alive and that's why he's so desperate to get rid of "snatch my fetish' idk, just my 2 cents

  25. M.... ....

    fuck me

    M.... ....

    can I pet the animal in your profile picture

    M.... ....

    @Banescuff chaotic

  26. D.... ....

  29. P.... ....

    for some reason out all the lyrics ''if im so necessary blank blank obituary at broadway cemetery'' hits really hard really paints a picture of his depression and his feelings of worthlessness that come with it along with his status as an artists and the conflicting feeling that come with that position

  30. m.... ....

    tbh im getting gender dysphoria vibes from this song

    m.... ....

    Hot head is the audio equivalent of gender dysphoria

  31. B.... L....

    If I’m so necessary, blank blank obituary...at Broadway cemetery, at broadway ceme...

  32. c.... ....

  34. M.... ....

    IF YOU CAN'T SNATCH MY FETISH, I'LL FEDEX IT

  35. k.... ....

    Stefan's voice goes into scream-crying by the line "just don't die in a hospital".
    I fully understand why they only perform the first half of this song live.

  36. W.... ....

    Queens Tits

  37. m.... b....

    I used to live in these brick housing projects right across the street from the Broadway cemetery on Muir way in Sacramento

  38. F.... A....

    I love how this double album is so depressing. Not even normal depression, it goes on Joy Division level depressing.

  39. R.... R....

    Some things only I have seen
    Some people only I have been

  40. S.... N....

    these niggas really out here on the moon

    S.... N....

    oh hey ive seen one of your comments before somewhere else

  41. B.... S....

    “Some things only I have seen
    Some people only I have seen”
    Anyone know what this means?

    B.... S....

    its "some people only i have been"

  42. i.... a....

    This kind of reminds me of beware

  43. �.... ....

    Other songs talk about rebelling against the external authorities, Death Grips talk about rebelling against the prison you built for yourself.

    �.... ....

    That really is the 'thesis' if you wanna call it that, of Death Grips. Its most present in Next Grips and Beware, and maybe Come Up and Get Me? But all their music to me feels very focused on that idea: that we ourselves are animals just like all others and the modes we take to tame ourselves are terrifying and almost self abusive... but not without warrant. We are each capable of any matter of horror for simple reasons.

  44. A.... _....

    Fuck YOU.
    YOU always motivate
    ME to get some WORK started.
    iAm.
    MotiVATeD and stuff.
    BUT then i REALIZE .
    What I do is just useless,
    putting A problem from A to B...
    then a sick BEAT drops.. i start dancing
    iff ONE can call it THAT.
    I wake up on the bottom of the PIT.
    BITCH

  45. D.... B....

    This song gave me a panic attack. The first one I've ever had. What a track.

    D.... B....

  46. E.... ....

    GE Simon xterm
    why would you out an alarm in this gd video

  47. T.... ....

    this is one of the greatest songs i’ve ever heard. it is unbelievable what this song makes me feel and what it makes me want to do. it is absolutely addicting and eat candy at its finest. seriously one of DG best songs.

  48. G.... D....

    Björk :O

  49. M.... S....

    I didn't catch that. Up your what now?

    M.... S....

    Sleeves

  50. d.... ....

    the beat sounds slowed down.

  51. k.... ....

    This and Lock Your Doors Best DG songs ever IMO

  52. d.... ....

    2:59 nice

  53. C.... ....

    Jesus Christ died for your sins on a cross and rose again after three days. You have committed evil deeds, as we all have done. God is a just judge, and must punish you for these sins, because he is perfect by his nature. But God loves you, does not want to punish you. This is why God took the form of a man, Jesus Christ, and died as a sacrifice for your sins on a cross. He was punished for your sins, so that you could be made righteous in God's sight. After three days, Jesus rose again, because it is impossible for him to have been held down by death.

    This is great news! Repent, (that is, change your mind,) and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and be saved from the judgement of God. God will reward you for your faith with eternal life, and forgiveness for your deeds. I sin, and you sin, and we both will continue to sin, but Jesus Christ died for these sins, and God is willing to forgive them. Please, repent, and believe the Gospel.

    I'll take my life like I kept it
    Up my sleeves never sounds like you meant it
    Up my sleeves, I'll take my life anyway I can fetish
    Snatch my fetish, snatch it only as directed
    Snatch it cause I got the queen's tits
    Up my sleeves, snatch it like you're the queen's bitch
    Up my sleeves, I hold your ground with my perch
    Up my sleeves, feel my slur, quench my hearse

    Do you know where to find an instrumental?

    G.... ....

    @Logan F. no

    G.... ....

    @Logan F. afaik tptb is the only album they never released instrumentals for

    G.... ....

    @no one ouch that's a shame

  65. E.... M....

    I love this song so much. I made an AMV using this.

  66. h.... ....

    the ol breaking point song

  67. M.... S....

    featuring björk

  68. J.... G....

    NOTM is their magnum opus. It stands above everything else they’ve done and above their teenage meme spouting fan base

    J.... G....

    well said

    J.... G....

    True contrarians in form. You'll cycle back to Exmilitary for being their most raw.

    J.... G....

    @Ryan Sansaricq the funny thing is that my favourite album changes atleast every month, I guess it just goes to show how consistently amazing they are

    J.... G....

    @i just got really stoned this shit is true, im constantly changing what the best dg album is every week, theres so many different qualities to each of their albums that its hard to say one is absolutely better than the rest

    J.... G....

    I'm an edgy, meme-spouting teenage piece of shit, and TPTB is my favorite album of all time, not to mention up my sleeves being my favorite song from them

  69. C.... S....

    NOTM>Jenny

  70. B.... 0....

    Glitched-out paranoid rage.

  71. V.... C....

    This is the greatest Death Grips song period.

  72. P.... C....

    Обмаслив

  73. D.... P....

    I'll never get over how hardcore Ride makes "tsk, tsk, tsk" sound. It has no right sounding so fucking raw.

  74. J.... S....

    It really seems that only Death Grips and my mother know who Rashad Roland Kirk is.

  75. I.... Z....

    I keep coming back to this track. the off beat drums kiiill me

  76. J.... G....

    god i wish i could listen to this with new ears again : (

    J.... G....

    This shit is awesome never heard of this type of music before

    J.... G....

    Discovered these guys yesterday, and was pretty much hooked right away.

  77. t.... r....

    The laugh at 3:00 is so spine chilling

  78. S.... F....

    their most underrated song. To me their best song. The most hard-hitting lyrics, backed up with an amazingly cathartic performance from MC ride and pummeling rhythm section in Zach Hill and Andy Morin. Of course the bjork samples add depth and vivid electricity to the song, but to me this is really Stefan's song.

    "aye ay/ay/ayeayeaye/ayayaya/ ive always known ive always known ay/ayeyayyayay/ayeyayaya/ if you cant snatch my fetish off that exit, youll find me when you miss it" just insanely, visually erotically potent word reflection, inflection, detection of our dissective. TSK TSK TSK MY TERRA COTTA ARMY DISARMS ME DISOWN ME!

    USED TO KNOW WHO I WAS, FUCK IF I KNEW WHO THAT WAS!

    I give this song a light 2/10






    (just kidding my favorite song like I said, SNATCH MY FETISH! 10/10)
    @stevefranciosa

  79. J.... t....

    I've Always Known I've Always Known

    I MUST LEAVE I MUST LEAVE I MUST LEAVE

  83. j.... d....

    I SHOULD BE WORRIED
    OH YEAH
    I'M TEMPORARY

  84. B.... J....

    Perhaps my favorite hip hop track of all time. Unlikely to step off that throne.

  85. m.... ....

    scariest sounding deth jirpes song

  86. R.... M....

    I take my life like i Kyept it
    I TAKE MY LIFE LIKE I KYEPT IT

  87. n.... ....

    I think this has been their opus so far

  88. S.... C....

    2:12, sounds like Bjork is saying grad school.

  89. L.... ....

    this song actually makes me uncomfortable, even more so than a song like a hothead. something about it just makes me feel very uncomfortable. i fucking love it
