Boer (English pronunciation: /ˈboʊ.ər/, /bɔːr/ or /bʊər/;Afrikaans: [buːr]) is the Dutch and Afrikaans word for "farmer." As used in South Africa, it was used to denote the descendants of the Dutch-speaking settlers of the eastern Cape frontier in Southern Africa during the 18th century. For a time the Dutch East India Company controlled this area, but it was taken over by the United Kingdom.
In addition the term was applied to those who left the Cape Colony during the 19th century to settle in the Orange Free State, Transvaal (which are together known as the Boer Republics), and to a lesser extent Natal. They left the Cape primarily to escape British rule and get away from the constant border wars between the British imperial government and the tribes on the eastern frontier.
The Dutch East India Company had been formed in the Dutch Republic in 1602, and the Dutch had entered keenly into the competition for the colonial and imperial trade of commerce in Southeast Asia. In 1648 one of their ships was stranded in Table Bay, and the shipwrecked crew had to forage for themselves on shore for several months. They were so impressed with the natural resources of the country that on their return to the Republic, they represented to the directors of the company the great advantages to the Dutch Eastern trade to be had from a properly provided and fortified station of call at the Cape. The result was that in 1652, a Dutch expedition led by surgeon Jan van Riebeek constructed a fort and laid out vegetable gardens at Table Bay.

Y'all don't want this, Rugged Man take no shit

We do this for the poor people cats that are homeless
My whole clique roll thick roll with strictly broke kids
Hopeless, y'all can't even see what the truth is
We ain't give two shits ruthless rugged
New shit, you ain't think that I can fuck you bitch
You ain't think you roll with us you'll be sucking dick
Lack politeness like this don't act like
The typical stereotype so whats whiteness
Being grimey greasy that's what being white is
I got a bitch with a flat ass and I like it
I like big breasts and I like to lick vaginas
And fuckin' bitches on dumpsters in the back of diners
Everything we do is white trashin' razor blade
To the wrist cos we hate life with a passion

Poor people, poor people, poor, poor, poor people...
I like being broke I like being dirty crusty
Proud to be poor I like being fat and ugly
I like not succeeding I like beefing I like
Bleeding I like starting fights for no reason
Bad temper no patience shit on ya floor
Stick ya face in it make you lick the raisins
Everybody on this hip hop dick makes me sick
Seein' chicks like Mariah doin' hip hop shit
I don't care if they think I'm sexist I don't care
If I talk about the same shit on every record
And with this gimmicky pop rappin' the way that P. Diddy
And Will Smith be gettin' jiggy
I'd rather not take showers and smell shitty
Born to be poor we born poor we die poor
I rhyme for the low down scummy
I rhyme for the true hoodrats that ain't ashamed to look bummy
Understand that, where ya man at we blow ya head
Backwards we Linda Blair that we rugged man that
You better watch out, don't talk that you fake that
Fakeness take that with ya platinum plaques
