The West Was One The Stupendium (Ft. KeyBlack)

[Intro]

[Chorus]
One day from just plumb fadin' away
How you gonna build a house with the foundation erased?
Keep prayin', no sayin' what brothers become
On the dawnin' of the day The West was One
Day away from livin' on a history page
Ain't it fittin' how they're fixin' to be winnin' a race
And the rest of us are given a direction to run
On the dawnin' of the day The West was One

[Verse 1]
The sun is settin' on the turn of a century
I know for certain it's my turn to be legend'ry
Ain't no curtain gonna be avertin' my centrepiece
Reach for the sky, you're gonna get burned eventually
So call me Icarus, hick with a burden left to seed
Ride or die, I'mma ride till there's nothin' left to grieve
My momma said to me, "Son, you could be anything"
Best believe I'll never be anything less than deadly
Scared of me? Y'all better be
I'm out here avengin' the death of the Old West
Even if it isn't dead to me
The day it dies is one I hope I don't live to see
But this hayride is fallin' by the wayside of industry
Strippin' our history 'til there's nought left of
Dynasties of leather and dirt, our ancestors
Bled to make fertile this earth, so come arrest us
I'mma keep singin' 'bout the day The West was
