Overall Meaning

The first verse of Bugle's song "Hype & Boasty" talks about how a lot of people pretend to be bad men and act like they are tough, but in reality, they are not as bad as Bugle and his crew. The following lyrics describe how some people are too focused on being hype and boasty, wanting to show off and acting like they are tough by carrying guns and running from the police. But Bugle is done with that kind of lifestyle, he would rather focus on making money and building a better life for himself and his people. He doesn't want to be involved in any kind of violence or negativity, he would rather have good vibes and positive things in his life.


The second verse of the song talks about how some people might try to give Bugle a knife or a gun and encourage him to take someone's life, but he is not interested in that. He would rather focus on his music and use his talent to create something positive, like a new riddim. Bugle also talks about how he wants to be rich and have a lot of money, but not by doing anything illegal or violent. He wants to own expensive cars like a Bimma, Range, Audy, and Benz, and not have to borrow from anyone anymore. Bugle believes that it's time for young people to start being more financially stable and to not rely on "broke pocket friends."
