Bassline Testimony (Version 2)

Verse

Condensation drips down the black brick wall

Sub keeps testifying, we stand for the call

Floor's got a crack where the four-to-the-floor lands

Proof in the plaster, we read it with our hands

Kick drum stamping like a judge with a gavel

Bassline swearing in, we don't need a label

Walls sweat truth when the sub gets deep

Room keeps a record while the rest stay asleep

Pre-Chorus

Nobody's checking but the low end knows

Every dent in the floor is a witness that grows

Marks on the mortar, cracks in the cup

Room keeps the receipt, never gives it up

Chorus

Bassline testimony, bassline testimony

Body's the witness, the floor holds the story

Bassline testimony, bassline testimony

Sub's got the receipts, we keep it in motion

Verse

Scuff marks stacking where the sneakers grind

Dent in the toe cap, that's the bassline signed

Sweat off the ceiling drops back like rain

Same drop that started keeps hitting the vein

Snare cracks a signature, hats cross-check the beat

Sub keeps stamping paperwork under our feet

Every skank on the floor is a line in the ledger

Room's got a filing system, deep and heavier

Pre-Chorus

Nobody's checking but the low end knows

Every dent in the floor is a witness that grows

Marks on the mortar, cracks in the cup

Room keeps the receipt, never gives it up

Chorus

Bassline testimony, bassline testimony

Body's the witness, the floor holds the story

Bassline testimony, bassline testimony

Sub's got the receipts, we keep it in motion

Bridge

Needle cuts a groove same as the crack in the floor

Wax keeps a copy of what we came here for

Every dub plate's a diary, played back low

Room and the record both refuse to let go

Chorus

Bassline testimony, bassline testimony

Body's the witness, the floor holds the story

Bassline testimony, bassline testimony

Sub's got the receipts, we keep it in motion
