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

How The West Was One

My little star got some problems, they're bright enough to see
She said the light of her life, now is dark because of me
Blaming me you didn't win again
Time is low for you to shoot to fame
Did ya think that I would keep on playing?

I, I'm out of the game
But you, you're just doing the same

Your sense of entitlement in life was pretty senseless
How could I get so comfortable with this bullshit and never end it?
Blaming me you didn't win again
Time is low for you to shoot to fame
Did ya think that I would keep on playing?

I, I'm out of the game
But you, you're just doing the same old thing

If love is a game, then it's Grand Theft or Call Of Duty
Love is a song, then go ahead and auto tune me
If love a game, let me declare you winner
Your loves a meal?  Then baby I'll be late for dinner
Everything I ever loved when I grew up, well it blew up
If you need the proof then hit the street to scoop it up
Ain't rollin' over, holdin' on to my controller
Now you know you lost a winner, wake up cause the game is over

I, I'm out of the game,
But you, you wanna just keep on playing
I, I'm out of the game
But you, you're just doing the same old thing

Rules don't change, and it's still the same
But I keep playing so I'm out of the game
Rules don't change, still the same
Can't keep playing, so I'm out of the game
Rules don't change, and it's still the same
But I keep playing so I'm out of the game
Rules don't change, still the same
Can't keep playing, so I'm out of the game

My Own Thing

CANCION DE CUNA


You're not even born yet, haven't got a name yet
Ain't got your own room, sleeping in the same bed
With us, just for a little while
We'll get a bigger place, I'm working now for you child
You were conceived in the BK (Brooklyn)
There was a fight in the street that day
Your mom and I believe, inherently in peace
There's violence in the world, but we just let it be
And see… Look what happened that day
We chose love over hate and you were made
I'm a try to teach you how to behave 
But when you're wrong acting up, you'll probably hear me say...

(Chorus)
Ya better change, your attitude
And do watch your momma told you to do
Yeah ya better change, your attitude
And do watch your momma told you to do

Your moms from Colombia, my old man Britain 
So we're making British Colombian children
And you're the first of em', about to be a King or Queen
You're gonna benefit from everything we've ever seen
Better than me, with the same pedigree
Teach ya when to throw your fists and when to let it be
Educated, don't argue on that one
Want to fight the system?  Gotta learn how its run
Another language, mammita teach ya Spanish
Learn an instrument, expression is a talent
The power of the word overpower nuclear
But if you're rude to her than remember what ya heard…

(Chorus)
Ya better change, your attitude
And do watch your momma told you to do
Yeah ya better change, your attitude
And do watch your momma told you to do

From when you are a day old
We're gonna be together
I'll help you find your way home
If you're feeling lost
You'll never be a day alone
My souls with you forever
If I go away, you will be ok
Remember what I say

(Chorus)
Ya better change, your attitude
And do watch your momma told you to do
Yeah ya better change, your attitude
And do watch your momma told you to do

Kyprios - Ain't Gonna Get Me

Kyprios - Bad Motherfucker

The classic definition of the term MC is one that has the ability to grip a mic and control the crowd, and Kyprios has more than earned this title. He is a commanding presence on stage – able to hold the crowd in silent rapture as he drops an introspective piece that draws heavily from spoken word, only to suddenly flip it and incite a sea of thrusting hands with a rapid fire set of punchline-laden lyrical flows. Able to deliver a seamless blend of rapping, singing and harmonizing, the North Vancouver, BC native’s larynx is a potent stash of varied lyrical weapons.

On a roadtrip to New York City with Prevail from Swollen Members, the aspiring MC/actor/poet was compelled to lengthen his stay in hip hop’s Mecca. Studying theatre at HB Studios in Greenwich Village, hitting monthly rap battles anywhere in NYC and participating in poetry slams at the Nuyorican Poetry Cafe, the young artist was learning amongst the most reputed craftsman and developing his trade amongst them. Winning a poetry slam with a controversial spoken word piece “Hate,” Kyprios headed back to his hometown of North Vancouver to transfer his education into practice. Kyprios released the independent EP “Mic Tease” that would be the catalyst to get him performing numerous club shows and begin to host a weekly open mic poetry series dubbed “Come With It” in Vancouver.

During this period, Kyprios was also a founding member of the two time Juno-nominated Sweatshop Union. While working within the group, Kyp maintained his solo identity and continued to write and record his own material. This output included three tracks featured on the Local 604 album, which was released by BattleAxe Records. BattleAxe also selected Kyp’s song “Master” for inclusion on their Lyrics Of Fury compilation.

Kyprios’ solo work caught the attention of Sony Music Canada when he sent the company a package containing some tracks and a video of the slam winning, spoken word piece “Hate.” Kyp signed with the label and began a tumultuous period trying to do the impossible: make commercially viable underground music satisfying a record label and his core fans. He also offered outside help on Sweatshop Union’s juno nominated “Natural Progression” from Toronto at this time. His solo effort resulted in the two time, Juno nominated “Say Something,” featuring production from Saukrates (Kardinal Offishall, Method Man), Billy Mann (Pink, Kelly Rowland), Rob The Viking (Swollen Members) and good friend Tawgs (Lights, K’Naan). With the unfortunate timing of the industry’s changing climate, Sony Canada was merged into BMG and Kyprios’ solo record was shelved but his career was not.

Kyprios moved back to Vancouver, re-joined Sweatshop Union to begin a rigorous touring schedule and put out the Juno nominated “United We Fall,” and the critically acclaimed “Water Street” albums. He recently released a new solo offering entitled “12:12″ which propelled him into a radio competition for one hundred thousand dollars in Vancouver, through the Peak radio station called the Peak Performance Project. Kyprios eventually went on to win this prestigious competition and recognizes this experience as the most informative/beneficial of his career.

Kyprios has toured all over North America solo and as part of Sweatshop Union with the likes of The Black Eyed Peas, Busta Rhymes, Wyclef Jean, The Roots, Rakim, Living Legends, Swollen Members and Jurassic Five to name a few. He has made numerous appearances in television and film and is one of the voices for Michael Jordan’s website jumpman23.com. Kyp has won a Jesse for his musical work in a play called “Cranked”, has licensed music to MTV’s “The Buried Life” and continues to write for/with many artists. He still writes poetry and is eagerly anticipating the release of his next major project “The Midnight Sun.” He is currently working on the music for a new play with Greenthumb entitled “Ash Rizin.’”
