Boaz
Boaz (/ˈboʊ.æz/; Modern Hebrew: בועז Bốʿaz; Massoretical Hebrew: בֹּ֫עַז Bṓʿaz; Hebrew pronunciation: [ˈboːʕaz]) is a major figure in the Book of Ruth in the Bible. The term is found 24 times in the Scriptures, being two in Greek (in the form "Booz").
The root בעז, just used in the Bible in relation to "Boaz" (see The Temple), perhaps expresses 'quick(ness)' (cf. Ar. بَغْزٌ, 'swiftness [of horse]'). The etymology of the name has been suggested by many as be'oz, "in the strength of", or bo'oz, "in him (is) strength" from the root 'zz, "to be strong". Biblical scholar Martin Noth preferred "of sharp mind".
In the Bible
According to Josephus, he lived at the time of Eli.
Son of Rachab and Salmon, Boaz was a wealthy landowner of Bethlehem, and kinsman of Elimelech, Naomi's late husband. He noticed Ruth, the widowed Moabite daughter-in-law of Naomi, a relative of his (see family tree), gleaning grain in his fields. He soon learns of the difficult circumstances her family is in and Ruth's loyalty to Naomi. In response, Boaz invites her to eat with him and his workers, as well as deliberately leaving grain for her to claim while keeping a protective eye on her.
Boaz ben Jehoshaphat
Boaz ben Jehoshaphat (Hebrew: בעז בן יהושפט) was the son of Jehoshaphat ben Saul and the great-grandson of Anan ben David. He lived in Iraq during the mid ninth century. As the direct lineal heir of Anan, Boaz was nasi and resh galuta of the Karaite Jews. He was the father of David ben Boaz.
Boaz (Book of Mormon)
According to The Book of Mormon, the city Boaz (/ˈboʊ.æz/) was in the land northward near the land Desolation. The city is mentioned only once in the book, in Mormon 4:20. In this city, the Nephites fought boldly and repelled the first attack of the Lamanites but retreated after the second attack.

Stay Down
by: BoazI say the world keep turning
The clock keep ticking
So don't be wasting time
They said it wasn't gone
Happened for me over night
Best believe this gonna take some time
You just gotta stay down
Yea I know I gotta keep it correct
But I still get to seize the connect
You know I gotta stay down
Yea, I had to struggle just like you
I'm from the ghetto, I grew up like you
That's why I gotta stay down
I see niggas got a hard on for me because my grind
tight
Money right, I'm going all in shortly
Mi amigo down bottom, put the call in for me
No fucking business, make sure it's all there for me
Yo watch the diamond, no offense
Yea the block been good to me
But running these streets, there's a lot that you
regret
The innocent corrupted, the niggas you don't fuck with
Shit I don't rap with all the niggas I grew up with
And that's over principle, yea that shit's real
Gotta keep it pushin', no way I could sit still
Bricks to the boy and pounds to that sense a mill
Gotta kill him in the suburbs serving them ten appeal
Now I'm back with the summer's report
Everybody tryna make it but a few niggas coming up
short
Yea, some different shit day after day
So I stay out the way
But I'm still gonna play how I play
I say the world keep turning
The clock keep ticking
So don't be wasting time
They said it wasn't gone
Happened for me over night
Best believe this gonna take some time
You just gotta stay down
Yea I know I gotta keep it correct
But I still get to seize the connect
You know I gotta stay down
Yea, I had to struggle just like you
I'm from the ghetto, I grew up like you
That's why I gotta stay down
The hood be sayin' they so proud of me
I'm proud, love my city, the haters' my only allergy
Man they just mad cuz the music takin' off
I'm worried 'bout the dottie and the julie takin' off
All in the whip when the coupe be satin off
Make it easy for these niggas, the roof – I take it off
One button, let them see what the guts be like
All the bitches looking at me like it must be nice
This shit's workin', get your girl, your bitch flirtin'
I'm something like a pimp that got him on the strip
workin'
Now I'm back, got the stomach for that
Just stay down like I'm supposed to, the money just
stack
Where my niggas 'bout their business? where the
hustlers at?
Quackin' the jungle with gorillas, we'll be confortable
there
Yea, time is money, it's a race against the clock
Some niggas die tryin', some make it to the top
I say the world keep turning
The clock keep ticking
So don't be wasting time
They said it wasn't gone
Happened for me over night
Best believe this gonna take some time
You just gotta stay down
Yea I know I gotta keep it correct
But I still get to seize the connect
You know I gotta stay down
Yea, I had to struggle just like you
I'm from the ghetto, I grew up like you
