Hed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somebody don't know, so that body got burnt
You in the jungle baby, you gonna die
Might as well get fucked, might as well get high
On the real son, I'mma take everything I need, the drugs, the sex, the power,
the American dream
I'm a rude, rude boy raised by TV
I laugh at violence, pain and death don't mean shit to me
It's got to be like that
Call me a looser
Yo I can deal with that
You think you all that, till I lay you on your back, with your legs spread
Ha - Boom! How you like that?
How you like that (3X)
Can you feel me?
How many motherfuckers, just like me
Grew up just like me, fucked up just like me
Wake up, light up, watching BET
Fucking babies mothers from Jersey to Cali
Don't get mad, get high, go get even, go get your shit back,
then tell that lying ho you leaving
I smoke weed, I drink wine
Take your daughter to my tour bus and fuck her from behind
(Chorus)
You were never there, when I was down
Like when I needed someone, you were nowhere to be found
I remember the sound of your heartbeat
I remember how you found something good in me
Now I remember how you started fucking with me
You kept fronting on me, always trying to pull something with me
Shit-this ain't no game to me
This shit is life to me, and you ain't living right baby
(Chorus)
Can you feel me?
The song "Boom" by Hed P.E. is a mix of rap, punk and heavy metal genre. It reflects the hardcore and rebellious attitude of the band towards life. The lyrics paint a picture of the rough and tough life in the ghetto, where violence, drugs, and sex are part and parcel of survival. The opening line is a warning to those who dare to mess with the band, that they shouldn't move or else they will get hurt. The next line speaks of the consequence of being ignorant in the jungle, where one is bound to die. The singer doesn't sugarcoat anything, implying that if one is going to die anyway, then they might as well get fucked up and high.
The lyrics of "Boom" portray the band's ethos of not caring about pain, violence or death. The crude language and images used in the lyrics may be interpreted as a criticism of American society and a call to rebellion against the established norm. The singer identifies himself as a 'rude, rude boy raised by TV,' which could mean he was shaped by pop culture and media, leading to his off-kilter view of life. The chorus repeats the line, "It's got to be like that, Call me a loser, Yo, I can deal with that," which implies that the band accepts being labeled as losers by society because they are living life on their own terms.

There are many people like me, who had a similar upbringing and lifestyle. We watch TV, smoke weed and have multiple sexual partners
Don't get mad, get high, go get even, go get your shit back,
then tell that lying ho you leaving
Instead of getting angry, use drugs to calm yourself down and then take revenge. Get back what belongs to you and then tell your cheating partner that you're leaving
I smoke weed, I drink wine
Take your daughter to my tour bus and fuck her from behind
I use drugs and alcohol to enhance my sexual experiences, even if that means having sex with someone's underaged daughter
(Chorus)
You were never there, when I was down
Like when I needed someone, you were nowhere to be found
I remember the sound of your heartbeat
I remember how you found something good in me
Now I remember how you started fucking with me
You kept fronting on me, always trying to pull something with me
Shit-this ain't no game to me
This shit is life to me, and you ain't living right baby
I remember how you used to be there for me when I needed you, but now you just mess with me. This isn't a game anymore, it's my life and you're not living it right
(Chorus)
Can you feel me?
Do you understand me? Do you relate to what I'm saying?
