Some may remember Boondox more as the artist Turn Coat Dirty from the first round of the Underground Psychos Contest or even earlier as part of S.H.I (Southern Hustlas Inc.) with Smokey and Produk.
The Newton County native is easily identified by his distinct look - a flannel shirt, straw hat and sinister face paint. In addition to this, Boondox also sports the Hatchetman pendant typical of all artists on the Psychopathic Records label.
According to his official biography, Boondox "tears it up over everything from Southern sounding banjo and harmonica loops to (Mike E.) Clark's patented sick-ass drum beats and fat bass drops." Boondox's debut album, "The Harvest", was released on July 11, 2006 through Psychopathic Records and features the Axe Murder Boyz, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, the Insane Clown Posse and Twiztid as guests.
With hypeman Jake Polzin aka Cousin Cleetus by his side and a live drummer behind him, Boondox made his concert debut at the 2006 Gathering of the Juggalos, which consisted of 4 songs, "Out Here", "Diggin' Myself Out", "Seven", and "They Pray With Snakes".
He is currently accompanying Blaze Ya Dead Homie and the Axe Murder Boyz on "The Tombstone Terror Tour" which is Boondox's first ever tour on Psychopathic Records.
The Harvest
Boondox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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
