machete

this is a knife right?? because i KNOW thats what it is in australia, but i know a song that goes

"all of a sudden im infront of some man,
no he's a younging,
but he's got a gun in his hand.
he looks 15,
he looks frantic,
no he looks afraid.
immediately aprehensive 'till i heard him say
'do you want this,
its not myne i promise!
i found it on my block inbetween a couple garages,
didnt wanna leave it for a child to stumble over,
i dont even know how to hold it!'
it was a 38,
the poor man's machete.
held it in my hand thinking damn man its heavy!"

anyways i wont say the rest coz really thats all you need to know, but does it mean gun in another countrie (maybe america?)

Yes a machete is sort of like a sword

so to you its not a gun?? hm..

No in the USA a machete is like a sword

its a big knife

thats what i thought....well then whats with the song?

The machete is just being used as a metaphore in the lyrics - the machete is a very common agricultural tool/knife first developed for farming like the sai and most people who worked/work on rural land use one and are usually poor. Hence in the song they're calling the 38' - the poor man's machete as in the common gun for the person who can't afford better.

oh ok! hug thankyou so much babe!

Jason Voorhees has a machete! 😱

I love my Jason 😍.........

jason?? whoosat? 😮

😆

Jason from the Friday The 13ths', Freddy vs. Jason? familiar?

its a knife here in the uk too.

oh yeah 😮

😄 Freddy vs. Jason features Kelly Rowland who is of course in your sig. 😊

does it 😱 ive heard of it...just not seen it!

It sure does. 😉

38 would mean a .38 calibre hand pistol.

So i'm guessing that this poor ass singer....couldn't think of anything else to rhyme with heavy.

If that's what music is about now adays....thank god i still listen to the Rollingstones....

a machete is what jason uses to kill people

i thought it was a razor. i didn't know it was a knife too! 😕 anyways, that's cool

I always thought of it as a small cutlass 😖 people will use it to cup open paths in jungles and such
