[Intro]
Bass
Ugh

[Chorus]
Bass knockin' in the motherfucking trunk
Bass knockin' in the motherfucking trunk
Bass knockin' in the motherfucking trunk
Bass knockin', it's the ballad of the
Bass, bass, bass (Bass, bass, bass, bass, bass)
Bass
Bass, bass
It's the ballad of the
Bass, bass, bass (Bass, bass, bass, bass, bass)
Bass knockin', it's the ballad of the
Bass

[Verse 1]
Who's on the slab, workin' the wheel, grippin' the grain? (Bass)
Callin' it a bucket but I'm like "Fuck it, this shit bangin'" (Bass)
House with the speakers, level the tweeters, really don't need em
Rearview the mirror, always shakin'
If you behind me, I ca-ca-can't see ya (Bass)
I got 15 before I got rims, before I got paint (Bass)
Sound like I'm down the street and I ain't around yo way (Bass)
Hittin' so hard, I caught a charge and beat a case
They call the earth, the quake, the cover
A sleeping giant that to wake from my bass

[Chorus]
Bass knockin' in the motherfucking trunk
Bass knockin' in the motherfucking trunk
Bass knockin' in the motherfucking trunk
Bass knockin', it's the ballad of the
Bass, bass, bass (Bass, bass, bass, bass, bass)
Bass
Bass, bass
It's the ballad of the
Bass, bass, bass (Bass, bass, bass, bass, bass)
Bass knockin', it's the ballad of the
Bass

[Verse 2]
Basshead, bass line, scrunch your face time
Break spine, take a marching band to make mine
Knockin' doors down, need the hand of God to take mine
You can't hear shit, 'less you heard it through the grapevine
Woofin' like a dog in the yard off the chain
Crankin' like a set, Imma let that bitch bang
All the sub, fuck the club, Imma tear it off that frame
Crank the trunk like it's thunder but you ain't seen no rain
It's just bass

[Chorus]
Bass knockin' in the motherfucking trunk
Bass knockin' in the motherfucking trunk
Bass knockin' in the motherfucking trunk
Bass knockin', it's the ballad of the
Bass, bass, bass (Bass, bass, bass, bass, bass)
Bass
Bass, bass
It's the ballad of the
Bass, bass, bass (Bass, bass, bass, bass, bass)
Bass knockin', it's the ballad of the
Bass

[Interlude]
Bass knockin' in the motherfucking trunk (Bass, bass, bass, bass, bass)
Bass knockin' in the motherfucking trunk (Bass, bass, bass, bass, bass)
Bass knockin' in the motherfucking trunk (Bass, bass, bass, bass, bass)
Bass knockin', it's the ballad of the
Bass
Bass
Bass

[Bridge]
Take it up with my trunk
Popped up twice with the lights for the show and it thump
Ridin' around with my crew
Bubble eyed, double wide swangin', got the bops comin' through
The trunk got the shakes, the trunk got the shakes
If you got the juice, then I got the bass
The trunk got the shakes, the trunk got the shakes
If you got the juice, then I got the bass

[Verse 3]
This ain't no factory shit, I blow your back in this bitch
Might put a club in this ho', don't know how to act in this whip
I'm pressin' buttons, I'm diamond fisted, I'm Thanos-glovin'
Got plenty lettuce, ain't talkin' sandwich when I'm talkin' subbin'
Talkin' woofin, overheatin' like someone cookin'
Sound like a monster in my trunk, got it out the bushes
To the next I push it, the highs and the low
Neon they show, tippin' on fours, want bass? I got mo'
In the trunk

[Bridge 2]
Take it up with my trunk (Trunk)
Popped up twice with the lights for the show and it thump
Ridin' around with my crew (Crew)
Bubble eyed, double wide swangin', got the bops comin' through
The trunk got the shakes, the trunk got the shakes
If you got the juice, then I got the bass
The trunk got the shakes, the trunk got the shakes
If you got the juice, then I got the bass

[Outro]
The bass, bass, bass
OOOO, I got the bass
Ballad of the bass, ballad of the bass (I got the bass)
Ballad of the bass, ballad of the bass
Yeah
