Lyric

Bushi Rodeo

Chikara The Boy

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.
