FFA stands for the future farmers of america. Now I grew up partially in upstate New York before being transplanted into richmond Va. I was not bitter about being a yankee but others seemed to be. So I wrote this FFa rap to strike against my redneck oppressors at the age of fourteen with my best friend

FFA RAP

we're the country boys, he's Hank and I'm Chet
we were born in the south and we're confederates
we can't do math, we can't do science
but when we're in shop class we form a big alliance
FFA- yeah haw
FFA- God Darn
we hunt, we fish, we farm, we chew
there ain't much that we can't do
when I wear my boots, I feel real proud
I'm a redneck and I say it loud
FFA- yeah haw
FFA- God Darn
Hats, belts, with really big buckles
if your a yankee you can feel my knuckles
I was ridin yesterday in my massive chevy truck
when I hit a deer and I said "Oh shucks"
FFA- yeah haw
FFA- God darn
So just remember
what us country boys said
if you have a neck
make it RED


humor folks, don't come after me

A real man
kisses his children goodnight

Why would we come after you?I'm from the south,and being a southern-belle,it's not very lady-like!Kidding aside-This was quite funny,reminds me of when I use to be in school the things we would come up with!

*coming after you with the pitchfork and a vengeful look*   Yup...You are very fortunate we Southern women are Ladies.  


Seriously..This was absolutely hilarious. YOu did this when you were young? I can just imagine the effect it had then. ROTFLMAO!  
Laters...As always, your work is great.

Be proud of what you are, as it is all you can be, do your best . And I think the view of red necks is very steriotypical and unfair, good job it's a joke, even if I don't live in America .
Nicely written .
L.of.L. Tom .
p.s. Why are they called 'red necks' as I don't understand the name, it makes no sense, is there an underlying reason for the name .
