B.F.E.
Life in the Heartland: Embracing B.F.E.'s Rebel Spirit
Lyrics
You would not know it if you seen it
You may not recognize it at first glance
We can live anywhere but we'll never leave it
We have the option to live anywhere, but we choose not to leave this place
We do what we want, never need a reason
We act on our desires without requiring a justification
And we call it Bum Fucked Egypt
Referring to the place as "Bum Fucked Egypt"
It's a way of life lived on the backside of small towns
Describing a lifestyle on the outskirts of small towns
We got them boats and guns
Ownership of boats and guns is part of our lifestyle
Them dogs that'll run anything around
We have dogs trained to chase anything around
Man you can't beat B.F.E.
Expressing pride in the unique lifestyle of B.F.E.
Yea I'm that slow talking, pot hole road riding, tobacco spitting, shit kicking kind
Describing a laid-back, rural personality with a slow manner of speech
And I'm from a throwback town in a trailer house, with a few hog dogs and one stop sign
Originating from a traditional town living in a trailer with specific characteristics
When it comes to barking I leave it to the beagles but if it comes to sparking I got a desert eagle
Preference for letting dogs bark but being prepared for potential conflicts with a Desert Eagle gun
Who cares about being legal we grown them trees that'll leave a blind man
Not concerned about legality, possibly referring to marijuana cultivation
Leaving here seeing and a def man hearing voices
Alluding to altered perceptions from substance use
We all got choices in life and I chose to be partial to my kind
Emphasizing the importance of personal choices
My environment raised a rebel ready to rebel
Being raised in an environment that encourages rebellion
Got shells on the shelves by the cases and a blue 50 gallon barrel for the incase shit
Having a significant amount of ammunition stored
You would not know it if you seen it
Reiteration of the uniqueness of B.F.E.
We can live anywhere but we'll never leave it
Reaffirming the choice to stay in this specific place
We do what we want, never need a reason
Emphasizing autonomy in decision-making
And we call it Bum Fucked Egypt
Repeating the term "Bum Fucked Egypt"
It's a way of life lived on the backside of small towns
Reiterating the rural lifestyle on the outskirts of small towns
We got them boats and guns
Ownership of boats and guns as part of the lifestyle
Them dogs that'll run anything around
Possession of dogs trained to chase anything
Man you can't beat B.F.E.
Reasserting the pride in B.F.E.
Yall may live around trees, I live in them
Contrasting living around trees with living in them
Got hard work in my genes and I ain't talking denim
Hard work is in the speaker's nature, not just in clothing
Spend my evening in a pine with a venom tipped Easton arrow
Describing a leisure activity involving archery and hunting
There goes dinner, shoot it, skin it, then feast
Describing the process of hunting for food
I can rock to Judas Priest or hip hop with boys that beast
Enjoying a diverse taste in music and company
While walking through molted leaves, we ain't as backwards as it seems
Rejecting stereotypes about backwardness
We just do us and don't fuss about what you think about what we do
Focusing on their own actions without concern for others' opinions
We're too busy building a house and laying down roots to give a hoot who gives a hoot about me
Being busy with constructive activities and indifferent to judgments
Long as I got a tin roof and my rifles got a sling, I'm clean as a whistle on an official
Content with basic necessities like a roof and a rifle
Matter of fact, make it official
Desiring official recognition of their lifestyle
You would not know it if you seen it
Reiteration of the uniqueness of B.F.E.
We can live anywhere but we'll never leave it
Reaffirming the choice to stay in this specific place
We do what we want, never need a reason
Emphasizing autonomy in decision-making
And we call it Bum Fucked Egypt
Repeating the term "Bum Fucked Egypt"
It's a way of life lived on the backside of small towns
Reiterating the rural lifestyle on the outskirts of small towns
We got them boats and guns
Ownership of boats and guns as part of the lifestyle
Them dogs that'll run anything around
Possession of dogs trained to chase anything
Man you can't beat B.F.E.
Reasserting the pride in B.F.E.
