One for the money and two for tonight's show
The sheriff put it on my lap
Contagious with that bad blood
Ain't taking either side
I guess it's every soul for themselves
Is it about justice? Is it about revenge?
The only thing I do know is that this song exists
Came for the justice, stayed for revenge, they crossed us
Gut strapped to a sunburst katana
My flesh as armor
It's a blood oath
Five Ring philosophy and some Ernie Slinks
I'm the Wild West Samurai
Forget the badge and the Semper Fi
Got a code to pass on to the next three lives
Quit now, can I say I tried?
Come out dignified?
Here villains wear capes, see I
The shadows have names, that's wild
Wagyu beef, put it on my plate
They still want beef, tell me how that tastes
Blend kung fu and blues I channel it
An antihero from anime
My sword striped like a candy cane
Double tap, down-B, and smash, stats I max
I jab and I lunge, and I rap off the map like I've gone mad
Where were you when I wanted you, huh?
Tighten up the sash Not rehearsed, all gut
Got bit by the bug, now my fever up
It's bubbling Fuji 'bout to blow up
In the meantime
One for the money and two for tonight's show
The sheriff set it on my lap
Contagious with that bad blood
Ain't taking either side
I guess it's every soul for themselves
And I've got one hand on my katana held tight
And got the other one never leaving my side
Climbing up the ranks all day to the top
It's a long way down
Go run the show you're the star of it
What a born natural
Watch your six
Always keep it cocked, locked, and loaded, but cool and casual
Got the Wild West to your chest
Get three in a row with no Xs or the Os
Just how it is at the rodeo
Still yenning for that antidote!?
The answer's in the yen, you'd know
Fast rhyme, fast night, fast life
What's wrong living life like a ronin?
Well? Nobody's got it figured out yet
Touché all day it's a he said, she said
Why side with the fake? Maybe I don't see my shame?
Taken in vain, loose code and cosplay
Bitch behave!? I won't fold like a crane
Duct tape, just made a new scale
If I hit a chord, that might tip the scale
Gotta get my cut in Tokyo
Got a gut feeling I can't let go
Find my own with the lines I sew
Sold my soul from my head to toe
One for the money and two for tonight's show
The sheriff set it on my lap
Contagious with that bad blood
Ain't taking either side
I guess it's every soul for themselves
And I've got one hand on my katana held tight
And got the other one never leaving my side
Climbing up the ranks all day to the top
It's a long way down
One for the money and two for tonight's show
The sheriff set it on my lap
Contagious with that bad blood
Ain't taking either side
I guess it's every soul for themselves
And I've got one hand on my katana held tight
And got the other one never leaving my side
Climbing up the ranks all day to the top
It's a long way down
Threw caution to the wind
Speeding past the signs
Too fast to catch a glimpse
I got lost in my disguise
Need for speed tonight
The sun is sinking quick
Go crashing if I blink
Watch the world collide
Threw caution to the wind
Speeding past the signs
Too fast to catch a glimpse
I got lost in my disguise
Need for speed tonight
Go crashing if I blink
Go crashing if I blink
Watch the world collide

Artist Profile
Chikara The Boy
Raised between Texas and Japan, Chikara The Boy channels the duality of two worlds into a singular artistic identity. His creative spirit is shaped by the emblematic figures and philosophies of the cowboy and the samurai. One side is rugged, instinctive, and fiercely independent, while the other is disciplined, harmony driven, and quietly resilient. His music emerges from the tension and balance between these internal forces. The journey begins in the Wild West, a symbolic landscape of risk, reinvention, and boundless creativity. Here, listeners follow a wandering ronin searching for belonging and striving to uphold a fading warrior legacy. Cowboys and samurai, though born of opposite cultures, stand as parallel icons. They are protectors guided by a code, relics of disappearing eras, and figures bound by purpose in a world that has moved on without them. Their struggle raises a central question. Will they unite to preserve what remains of their cultures, or will their differences fracture what is left? Chikara The Boy uses this world to explore themes of tradition versus rebellion, isolation versus belonging, and identity versus disguise. His sound mirrors these contrasts by bridging U.S. rock and hip hop with subtle yet powerful traces of Japanese Enka and Minyo. His music has drawn comparisons to artists such as Gorillaz, Linkin Park, and The White Stripes.
