[Intro - spoken vocal tag] BordomsBurden... real name, no gimmicks... [Struck-match hiss, then the beat drops on one funky sax note] [Slowed vocal tag, crew chanting behind] Dragged down... pulled under... BordomsBurden in the undertow... (undertow!) [Verse 1 - rapid-fire, sarcastic and witty] I descend in the deep where the bassline dwell eternal, Every 808 a sermon from a subterranean journal, Trunk knockin' thunder as I'm glidin' through the nocturnal, Your car alarm's harmonizin' — call it backup vocals. (hehe!) Bass so deep it's got a beard, it's old enough to vote, My neighbors started signin' petitions — I framed the note, (framed it!) They said "turn it down," I turned it up and took a vote — One vote, mine... democracy's a joke. (HA!) [Alter-ego switch - manic, unhinged, deranged] Hehehe, they let me out the basement for a minute! Bass so low I had to drag the devil out to swim in it! You call this music? I call it a cry for help with 808s! I'm the voice in his head that he never disobeys! (NEVER!) [Hook - massive, lead plus stacked background singers, call and response] Feel the undertow (undertow!), let it pull you down (down!) Deep bass blow (bass blow!), hear the rattle sound (sound!) Feel the undertow (undertow!), let the trunk go wild (wild!) BordomsBurden (Burden!), take you down in style (style!) [Verse 2 - punchline heavy, dark comedy] Sonar through the city and the subs are my torpedoes, Heavyweight king of the deep — nobody can overthrow those, My trunk's got more rattle than a snake with ten exes, (ten exes!) The Richter scale just texted: "bro, you're breakin' records." (brrt!) They say money talks, but have you heard my bass speak? It mumbles so low it needs subtitles every week. (huh?) I'm the lifeguard of the low end but I never save ya — I just watch you drown in bass and wave "see you later!" (BYE!) [Alter-ego returns - even wilder] No lifeguard! No mercy! No remorse and no regrets! I eat sub-bass for breakfast and I never break a sweat! You wanted funny? Here's your funny — drownin' in the deep end! Tell your speakers that the maniac sends his grievances! (HAHA!) [Hook - even bigger, full choir on backgrounds] Feel the undertow (undertow!), let it pull you down (down!) Deep bass blow (bass blow!), hear the rattle sound (sound!) Feel the undertow (undertow!), let the trunk go wild (wild!) BordomsBurden (Burden!), take you down in style (style!) [Bridge - alter-ego takes over, whispered then manic] Sinking... sinking... (let 'em drown! hehe...) Deeper... deeper... (no lifeguard on duty!) Undertow... undertow... (I'M the undertow! HA!) [Final Hook - maximum, everyone in] Feel the undertow (undertow!), let it pull you down (down!) Deep bass blow (bass blow!), hear the rattle sound (sound!) Feel the undertow (undertow!), let the trunk go wild (wild!) BordomsBurden (Burden!), take you down in style (style!)
