SCENE AND HEARD showcases the independent music scene here in Vancouver. We interview some of our favourite local artists, post weekly guest playlists comprised of Vancouver artists and ‘Last Week in Music’ highlights some of the concerts happening around the city... |
I'm hours behind on hearing this, (Kyprios is already TRENDING in Canada!) but just in case you missed it too, Vancouver rapper/Peak Performance Project winner Kyprios has recorded and released a song about the Vancouver Canucks.
You can hear it below and we've posted the lyrics too:
How The West Was One by Kyprios BayDay
How The West Was One
Sometimes we look back
To see how far we've come
We've heard the questions
And answered every one
So you wanna know, how the job gets done
I'm a show you, how the west was one
My mind is like a soldier's
My war is never over
My heart is never done
This is how the west was one
40 years, 40 years
Won't be another one the champs are here
Hank and Dank are in the building
They going in first like Barry Wilkens
Hit first ask questions second
My man Tiger Williams taught me them lessons
And we're destined, flyin' in the Western
We can beat you both ways like Ryan Kesler
Yessir, ya not even competitors
Listen up to Alex, and respect your Edlers
We got hero's, who beat you with pure play
We got Burrows, lookin' like Bure
Fan my whole life, not a team quite this sick
Opposition goalies are the red light district
Vancouver is a family
So we''ll do it for Bourdon and we'll do it for Manny
My mind is like a soldier's
My war is never over
My heart is never done
This is how the west was one
Happy Anniversary
It's not the name on the back, rep the front of the jersey
Coach Vinny knows the Hammer gonna getcha,
could be Keith Ballard or boom boom Bieksa
This is Kyprios, not Nick or Kippursoff
Got me throwin' punches like pissin Rick Rypien off
Trash talk? Naw, I'm talking' like a fighter
Cause I can back it up, like Cory Schneider,
Shootin' like Sammy, with Torres beside him
If they Called Raffi Cli, the boys couldn't find him
Jokes, Laugh when I'm servin' ya
You know I love the Nucks like Pratt loves Ursula
Great Dane, May Ray is the trickiest kid
Lap Dog, and Chris is getting Higgy with it
Wild west, where you know how the song go
The Nucks are the number underneath of Luongo
My mind is like a soldier's
My war is never over
My heart is never done
This is how the west was one
