Scene and Heard: How The West Was One

SCENE AND HEARD showcases the independent music scene here in Vancouver.

sceneandheard 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
