On GP
Death Grips Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm fucking tired of all the perks
I've tried nothing, everything works
For less I'm worth, I've served my bid
All fuck life wasn't what it is
All fuck life was just a bridge
I seen some free landed some tricks
Far I see high time man quit
Won't let you know when I get goin'
Phone ring too long

Phone ring too long, I'm probably gone
Ringtone jingle my swan song
I'll show you how to leave well enough alone
I'm not this world this on cue world
I fall back, concoct new worlds
I fall out in throbbing swirls
I fall until I stop this world
I fall the fuck off this world
I live down the street from you've noticed me, I've never seen you
Wonder what the fuck I do
Listen up, you nosy bitch, listen close
My most recent purchase, old black rope
Gonna learn how to tie it, hang it in my chamber
Perfect reminder occult I'm made of
Come try it out whenever you wanna
Last night, three thirty in the morning, Death on my front porch
Can feel him itching to take me with him, hail Death, fuck you waiting for?
Like a question no one mention, he turns around, hands me his weapon
He slurs, "use at your discretion, it's been a pleasure, Stefan"
Head-on like dead, on like grey
Death in your way, not in my way, I got my way
I was in my way, crept out my way, kept out my way
I'm on one like bae you're on your way, way, way, way

I'm fucking tired of all the perks
I've tried nothing, everything works
For less I'm worth, I've served my bid
All fuck life wasn't what it is
All fuck life was just a bridge
I seen some free landed some tricks
Far I see high time man quit
Won't let you know when I get goin'
Phone ring too long

Don't you worry, impossible for anything to be a big deal
I'm in no weary, my vital post dated but clearly been ages since life had appeal
Far more than fascination, my second nature chant "kill 'cause I can"
This body by my own hands
My friends and family won't understand
So I stay in the end, don't make none to me
If wasn't for them, I'd make that decision on GP
Had to do it all again, I'd make that decision on GP
All the nights I don't die for you
Wouldn't believe how many nights I ain't died for you on GP




Not that I care, I'd be a liar if I sat here claiming I'd exit in a minute
But I can't say I wouldn't I have my limits

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Death Grips's song "On GP" delve into the theme of suicidal ideation and existential nihilism. The vocalist expresses exhaustion and discontent with the perks of life, confessing that he has tried everything and nothing has worked. He feels worthless and unappreciated, having served his time without receiving any significant reward. The lyric "all fuck life wasn't what it is, all fuck life was just a bridge" highlights a sense of ennui and lack of purpose. Despite experiencing some highs in life, the vocalist sees it as temporary entertainment and not a sustainable means of finding fulfillment.


The second verse is characterized by a nihilistic and combative attitude. The vocalist imagines Death coming to take him away and shows no fear in facing it. He even accepts the weapon that Death offers him, suggesting that he would decide when it's time to go. He seems to be dissociated from the people in his life and indicates that they wouldn't understand his decision. The lyric "had to do it all again, I'd make that decision on GP" suggests that he would still choose to end his life despite any regrets.


Overall, the lyrics portray a deep sense of dissatisfaction with life and a desire for release. The vocalist seems to have lost hope and succumbed to nihilism, feeling like nothing really matters.

Listen up, you nosy bitch, listen close

My most recent purchase, old black rope
I recently bought a rope to tie and hang myself


Gonna learn how to tie it, hang it in my chamber
I am going to become intimately familiar with the process of taking my own life


Perfect reminder occult I'm made of
Hanging myself will be a fitting representation of the mysterious and esoteric nature of my being


Come try it out whenever you wanna
I'm inviting others to try out the rope and join me in death


Last night, three thirty in the morning, Death on my front porch
I felt the presence of Death outside of my home at an early hour


Can feel him itching to take me with him, hail Death, fuck you waiting for?
I sense that Death is eager to take me and I am ready to go


Like a question no one mention, he turns around, hands me his weapon
Death hands me a weapon, a subtle but powerful symbol of my final decision


He slurs, "use at your discretion, it's been a pleasure, Stefan"
Death entrusts me with his power and leaves me to make my own choices


Head-on like dead, on like grey
I am facing death head-on, like a dead person, with no fear or hesitation


Death in your way, not in my way, I got my way
Death may be a challenge for you, but I have my own way of dealing with it


I was in my way, crept out my way, kept out my way
I have always followed my own path and avoided others' expectations


I'm on one like bae you're on your way, way, way, way
I am committed to taking the path of death while you are still making your way towards it, slowly but surely


Don't you worry, impossible for anything to be a big deal
You don't have to worry about me, nothing means anything anymore


I'm in no weary, my vital post dated but clearly been ages since life had appeal
I haven't lost my energy yet, but it's been a long time since I found any enjoyment in life


Far more than fascination, my second nature chant "kill 'cause I can"
Killing has become second nature to me and I do it because I can


This body by my own hands
I will be the one to end my own life


My friends and family won't understand
The people close to me cannot comprehend my decision


So I stay in the end, don't make none to me
I will remain until the end, and it doesn't matter to me anymore


If wasn't for them, I'd make that decision on GP
If it weren't for my loved ones, I would already have made the decision to end my life


All the nights I don't die for you
I have endured countless nights without ending my life for others


Wouldn't believe how many nights I ain't died for you on GP
You can't even imagine how many times I have been close to ending it all, but didn't because of you


Not that I care, I'd be a liar if I sat here claiming I'd exit in a minute
I may not care about my own life, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't afraid of the pain and discomfort that comes with death


But I can't say I wouldn't I have my limits
Although I am afraid of dying, I know that I have limits to what I can endure and I may still go through with it
