The song is about a kid growing up in the country- "Thought of us barefoot kids in the yard, seems we were just catching snakes in the barn", who has left the "country" lifestyle for that of a more "thuggish" lifestyle. We all have these kinds of people in our hometown's and it isn't just in the inner city (the "homeboy in the song is still in his hometown). Church tells his brother (homeboy) of how Church is making a simple "blue collar forty" life unloading hay and working while his "homeboy" brother is out "runnin' these dirty ol' streets". "Got the hood here snowed but you can't fool me, we both know who you are", is in summary what the song is about. Church grew up country just like his brother, but his brother chose to leave for a different lifestyle and ignores his simple roots. The song was co written by Casey Beathard. Casey came up with the idea of the song after he heard his son saying to his friend "c'mon homeboy".
