"Head or tails?"
"Mhmmm"
"I wonder which side I'm gonna get."
"Chikara, Chikara, Chikara"
"You sealed your fate when you chose."
"You are now a samurai."
Twenty five years around the sun, lookin' back at what I've done
Got two egos instead of one, Konnichiwa, slip off the tongue
Now I'm staring back at me, can you tell me who you see
A Japanese kid with a redneck
I attest I can't rest till I be the best
Sake by my bedside, can only be a landslide
I coincide with the boy inside
Personified by a bona fide Wild-West Samurai
In the East through the city, neon lights splattered on the streets
Cosplay fashion they attractin' transformation
From real life to an anime, I'd die if I fake it
Realized I'm in studio, dressed right for my cameo
Two separate identities, tsunami's on me, washin' me
Cowboy, my soul is tellin' me, Samurai, never rest in peace
Exist to coincide, better read between the lines
Region-locked but I stay online, and that's the story of my life
Banzai, Banzai, Bounce
Bounce, Banzai, Banzai, Bow
Like DDR with cheat codes out here in Tokyo
I duke it out with Godzilla in Shinjuku
Woah Woah Watch me lose all control
Banzai, Banzai, Bounce
Bounce, Banzai, Banzai, Bow
Like DDR with cheat codes out here in Tokyo
I'ma air it out like Kamikaze, get shit out the way
Woah
Watch me lose all control
A showdown between the cowboy and the samurai
An internal struggle lookin' in but only seein' out
Is a person a product of the experience?
Is blood the main ingredient or features from inheritance
Can you please enlighten me
Dual identity is killin' me suicide ain't my tendency
But livin' this feels like a tragedy
It's only me, I'm fighting me
Frightened of what I see, country boy to the city
Katana out, this fight is a double-edged sword
Quickdraw, gunslinger what you aimin' for?
Slash left and right this ain't a problem I should die for
I'm killin' me slowly, forgettin' my integrity
Standstill, we level our eyes
Capsize, the hate in our minds
Conflict, we made in our hearts
Sublime, let go of our arms
Shapeless I'm like water, shameless I'll be a martyr
I'll sing life's almamater, I'll die proud as a fighter
Banzai, Banzai, Bounce
Bounce, Banzai, Banzai, Bow
Like DDR with cheat codes out here in Tokyo
I duke it out with Godzilla in Shinjuku
Woah Woah
Watch me lose all control
Banzai, Banzai, Bounce
Bounce, Banzai, Banzai, Bow
Like DDR with cheat codes out here in Tokyo
I'ma air it out like Kamikaze, get shit out the way
Woah
Watch me lose all control
I'm livin' through all these stages
Flippin' through all these pages
Document, the monument internal conflict that was wagin'
Inside of me
I'll embody one soul and two spirits
Protect with a sword and I'll spear it
Take a deep breathe, when did you reflect
The only reflections are the one's bouncin' off your smartphone
Meditation, couldn't be without the M-E
Send me one for the dual role, don't care for the payroll
Hailed from the land of the rising sun, surely I'll be risin' up
I'll be turnin' spotlights into solar power
Got power in my kanji
Got fire burnin' in me
Got inspired by my identity more or less received
It's time to get back
To those who couldn't react
Consumed by their inner doubt
Conflicted left on the couch
Just plan on playin' to your strengths, and go the length and reach out
To the other half it's you so be proud, yell out to the world now
Twenty five years around the

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.
