{AMB} (2xs')
Its the time for the harvest
Time of the harvest
Its the time of the harvest
Your time

{Bonez Dubb}
My ride broke down on a mountain of dust im lost
With nobody around i cant fuck with the cost
Of the cell phone or tow truck or even the cops
Nobody gonna find me untill my cold heart stopps
(I started walkin' and all of a suddent the sky became rain)
Seen a house on the way looked fuckin' insane
With no windows or locks so i stepped inside the room
Anything can really happen so im trying to leave soon
(And then i seen a blade)
Hangin' down from the wall theres no explaination for the crazy shit i saw
Got me trippin' but i reached for the steel anyway
Thats all i can say because after that day
They say too many peopole died at that main highway
I guessed i murdered them all when im possesed by the blade
So they lockin my up for life and now im gone
And the only thing on my mind is what i did wrong

Chorus (2x's)
Its the time for the harvest Time of the harvest
(when the sling blade works in ways thats so sticky to yall to die die die die die die die)
Its the time of the harvest Your time
(In the chemical chills the blood spills and drippin' we all die die die die die die die)

{Boondox}
When i feel i got the urge to kill
As if for real i draw a blank and then i reachin for steel
The sharpest razor blades that made my first rate
Hands of full believers full of murder and hate
Used by many souls, many years on the crops
Slicin through dicing thought wheat and corn spots
But when i grab it something happens that hears all of my confessions
Takin' control of my emotions like a demon possession
No remorse in my heart for the things it made me do
All the blood that was shead like it wasnt even true
Wake up in cold sweat sheets covered in red
Then the flashbacks hit me of all the sould that we bled
Was it true? Did i do all these things in my brain?
Was the slingblade curse or was i going insane?
I ran out the front door and just looked all around
100 headless corprses' laying all over the ground

Chorus (2x's)

{Otis}
Got it in my hands and a feelin' rush though
Aint nobody know what to do when my slingblade fucks you
Cuts through with a 1,2
I drop poison on my airplane when i crop dust you
See i gotta put food on the table
And give sacrafice to the Gods that i pray to
And that means that nothing can save you
Apologive to Mother Earth for what the humans bring you
I raise through the fields and chase you
With fast pace your back breaks
When the sight takes you
Then i drag you back by the hair to my shack
Button up my coat and diesect your throat
I cut out the flesh the pieces are so big
I put 'em through a shredder then i feed them to my pig
And i know the job move a little slow
But the heart is dissend and imma sweep what we sew





Chorus till end

Overall Meaning

The song "The Harvest" by Boondox is a chilling tale of murder and possession. The first verse is rapped by Bonez Dubb who starts off saying that he's lost in the middle of nowhere after his ride broke down, with no one around to help him. He finds a strange, windowless house and enters it. Inside, he sees a blade hanging from the wall, which he picks up despite sensing something ominous coming from it. The song then switches to Boondox, who raps about how he feels an urge to kill when he holds the blade, and how it takes control of his emotions like a demon possession. He wakes up covered in blood and has flashbacks of all of the souls he has killed. The song ends with Otis rapping about his sinister practice of using the blade to sacrifice humans to the gods he prays to.


Overall, the song is a dark and disturbing look at the consequences of giving in to violent impulses and the lengths people will go to in order to feed their hunger for power and control. The lyrics are complemented by hard-hitting beats and a haunting melody, making this a standout track in Boondox's discography.


Line by Line Meaning

Its the time for the harvest
It's time to reap the crops


Time of the harvest
The seasons go by and it's time to collect the crops


Its the time of the harvest
The time when the crops are ready to be collected


Your time
The time for you to reap what you sow and face the consequences of your actions


My ride broke down on a mountain of dust im lost
I am stranded in a remote location


With nobody around i cant fuck with the cost
I have no help and cannot afford the expenses


Of the cell phone or tow truck or even the cops
Even calling for help or reporting to the authorities is not an option


Nobody gonna find me untill my cold heart stopps
I am alone and may face a grim end


I started walkin' and all of a suddent the sky became rain
I faced an unexpected challenge during my journey


Seen a house on the way looked fuckin' insane
I encountered a strange and unsettling house


With no windows or locks so i stepped inside the room
I entered the house despite the lack of security measures


Anything can really happen so im trying to leave soon
I am aware of the potential danger and want to leave as soon as possible


And then i seen a blade
I came across a weapon


Hangin' down from the wall theres no explaination for the crazy shit i saw
There was a strange and unexplained item on the wall


Got me trippin' but i reached for the steel anyway
Despite the unsettling situation, I still picked up the weapon


Thats all i can say because after that day
I am unable to continue the story beyond that point


They say too many peopole died at that main highway
There have been many unfortunate incidents on that road


I guessed i murdered them all when im possesed by the blade
I feel responsible for the unfortunate events and believe the weapon is responsible


So they lockin my up for life and now im gone
I am incarcerated for the rest of my life


And the only thing on my mind is what i did wrong
I am remorseful and trying to come to terms with my actions


When i feel i got the urge to kill
I have the overwhelming desire to commit murder


As if for real i draw a blank and then i reachin for steel
I become numb and the only thing I can think of is picking up a weapon


The sharpest razor blades that made my first rate
I prefer to use the sharpest and deadliest of weapons


Hands of full believers full of murder and hate
My hands are consumed by the desire to kill and hate


Used by many souls, many years on the crops
The weapon has been used to harm many people over the years


Slicin through dicing thought wheat and corn spots
The weapon has been used to harm people in farming communities


But when i grab it something happens that hears all of my confessions
When I hold the weapon, I become possessed and confess my sins


Takin' control of my emotions like a demon possession
I feel like I am being controlled by a demon when I hold the weapon


No remorse in my heart for the things it made me do
I have no feelings of guilt for the harm I have caused


All the blood that was shead like it wasnt even true
The violence and deaths seem unreal and surreal


Wake up in cold sweat sheets covered in red
I have nightmares about my violent actions


Then the flashbacks hit me of all the sould that we bled
I experience vivid flashbacks of the carnage I have caused


Was it true? Did i do all these things in my brain?
I question whether the events were real or just in my head


Was the slingblade curse or was i going insane?
I question whether the weapon itself is cursed or if I am crazy


I ran out the front door and just looked all around
I departed from the scene of the crime


100 headless corprses' laying all over the ground
There were numerous headless bodies scattered around


Got it in my hands and a feelin' rush though
I hold the weapon and feel a rush of adrenaline


Aint nobody know what to do when my slingblade fucks you
No one knows how to react when I use the weapon


Cuts through with a 1,2
The weapon cuts through flesh with ease


I drop poison on my airplane when i crop dust you
I poison my crops from above to ensure a good harvest


And that means that nothing can save you
Once I have chosen my victims, there is no hope for them


Apologive to Mother Earth for what the humans bring you
I apologize to the earth for the damage humans have caused


I raise through the fields and chase you
I pursue my victims through the fields


With fast pace your back breaks When the sight takes you
I quickly catch up to my victim and kill them


Then i drag you back by the hair to my shack
I take the victim back to my home


Button up my coat and disect your throat
I prepare to cut and dismember the victim's body


I cut out the flesh the pieces are so big
I remove the flesh from the body and it is a large amount


I put 'em through a shredder then i feed them to my pig
I dispose of the victim's remains by feeding them to my pig


And i know the job move a little slow
The process of killing and disposing of the body is slow and meticulous


But the heart is dissend and imma sweep what we sew
The process may be gruesome, but it is what must be done
