Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand, oh

The lyrics to the song "Hey" by St. Bagu featuring Esohel are a modern interpretation of the classic song "Hey Joe" by Billy Roberts, which has been covered by various artists over the years. The song is about a man named Joe who is going to shoot his lady because he caught her with another man. The lyrics depict a violent scene and suggest that Joe is not only prepared to kill his lady but also his own mother. The song ends with Joe fleeing to Mexico to escape the law.
The lyrics are open to interpretation, but some have suggested that the song is a commentary on jealousy and the destructive nature of relationships. The lyrics suggest that Joe is unable to control his emotions and resorts to violence when he feels betrayed by his lady. The line "and I gave her the gun" suggests that Joe may have been complicit in his lady's infidelity or that he may have been looking for an excuse to commit an act of violence.
Another interpretation of the lyrics is that they are a critique of the justice system and its treatment of criminals. The line "ain't no hang-man gonna, he ain't gonna put a rope around me" suggests that Joe is running from the law and does not want to face the death penalty. The lyrics may be suggesting that the justice system is too quick to condemn individuals to death without considering the circumstances that lead them to commit a crime.
