Giving Bad People Good Ideas
Death Grips Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I keep, I keep
Good ideas
I keep, I keep giving bad
Giving bad people

Giving bad people good ideas
I keep giving bad people good ideas

Those who can't adjust
Tenfold dismantled pus
Operandi minus modus
My phlegm you to dust
Dragon chaser
I'll quit later
Asteroid to midnight powder
This like genocide, just louder
Fuck who we going after
Fuck them, I'ma have to fuck them over
And the closer, show's over
Bet bitch much, you wanna bet, bitch?
Keep that O and X shit
Feed a narc my driveway
Don't trip 'cause I may

Giving bad people good ideas
I keep giving bad people good ideas

I cough up locks, catatonic jingle
Mausoleum treatment, strands of chemo
Unwell out my slit gashes tempo
I'm crawling with swarming crescendo
Execution, my nerves I'm slurring
You deserve this, your worthless disturbs me

I want you to next time
It doesn't sound so bad when I say it in my mind
I want you to next time
It doesn't sound so bad when I say it in my mind

Mutter, stagger, I'm in you
I got you covered, scatter, you're meant to
Pull a lick real quick
Made off, I fling
Shallow plots for senile kings
Cruelty keeps me even
I moan like flukes
Euphoria follows puke
I won't pull my chute

Giving bad people good ideas
I keep giving bad people good ideas
Giving bad people good ideas
I keep giving bad people good ideas

Lead-heavy lead us, remedy us
Hem me, I suffer to catch reflux
I ingest reflux
Bile threshold, cortex deluxe
Torture me, lust
Holding horses with bacteria, uhh
I'm downing this vial of old Siberia
Overtoning mysteria

I want you to next time
It doesn't sound so bad when I say it in my mind
I want you to next time
It doesn't sound so bad when I say it in my mind

Giving bad people good ideas
I keep giving bad people good ideas

Good ideas

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Death Grips's “Giving Bad People Good Ideas” are cryptic and open to interpretation. On the surface, the song seems to be about someone who possesses a collection of good ideas but chooses to give them only to bad people, those who are incapable of adjusting or adapting to society. The singer mentions giving “pus” and “phlegm” to these individuals, suggesting that they are toxic and unworthy of such ideas. The singer is willing to take drastic measures and considers their actions to be like “genocide, just louder.” There is a sense of nihilism and apathy towards those who are being targeted, as well as a desire to maintain control and power over the situation.


The second verse deepens the sense of chaos and desperation present in the song, describing the singer's physical and mental deterioration. Lines like “catatonic jingle,” “strands of chemo,” and “swarming crescendo” evoke images of sickness, decay, and chaos. The idea of executing someone and finding pleasure in their worthlessness adds to the sense of danger and disregard for human life. The chorus repeats, with the singer continuing to give bad people good ideas, suggesting that the cycle of destruction and chaos will continue.


Overall, “Giving Bad People Good Ideas” is a complex and unsettling song, with lyrics that are open to multiple interpretations. It may be a commentary on the dangers of giving power to those who are not equipped to handle it, or a reflection on the nihilism and decay of modern society.
