Rodeo Lyrics

[Intro: Nessly]
Daytrip took it to ten (Hey)

[Chorus: Lil Nas X]
Oh, here we go, please let me know
Off we go, don't leave me in the cold

[Post-Chorus: Lil Nas X]
If I took you everywhere, then well, you wouldn't know how to walk
If I spoke on your behalf, then well, you wouldn't know how to talk
If I gave you everything and everything is what I bought
I can take it all back, I never cared 'bout what you thought

[Verse 1: Lil Nas X]
I didn't mean to make you mad, I don't like when you upset
I'ma call you later on, baby girl, don't you forget
I'ma take you from this party, we might go and have some sex
Or we do that later on, now we lit like cigarettes

[Pre-Chorus: Lil Nas X]
I thought you would stay with me
I'm yours and you're mine, I envy
So what I'm gon' do?
I don't have no clue, ain't no me without you

[Chorus: Lil Nas X]
Oh, here we go, please let me know
Off we go, don't leave me in the cold
[Post-Chorus: Lil Nas X]
If I took you everywhere, then well, you wouldn't know how to walk
If I spoke on your behalf, then well, you wouldn't know how to talk
If I gave you everything and everything is what I bought
I can take it all back, I never cared 'bout what you thought

[Verse 2: Nas]
I might spin the block on twelve horses
Buy the block and get a boss bitch
Grown man, but when the Henny hit
I might Milly Rock, then get up off it
In the new days with my old ways
Game change, but the name don't
My whore-shays is they main hoes
Got a lot of them, a whole stable
I don't lie to them, it's no fables
Rap don, country flavor
Now we worldwide, we made a big brand
Now our catalog is so major
Rodeo or Rodeo
Ho-folio is so player
Tomato or tomato
Nas X or Big Nas, this shit ride

[Chorus: Lil Nas X & Nas]
Oh, here we go (Nas and Nas X), please let me know (Yeah)
Off we go (Big Nas and Lil Nas, yeah), don't leave me in the cold
[Outro: Lil Nas X]
I thought you would stay with me
I'm yours and you're mine, I envy
So what I'm gon' do?
I don't have no clue, ain't no me without you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Nas X and Nas debuted this remix of “Rodeo” (off the former’s EP 7) live at the 2020 Grammys on January 27th, officially releasing the song to streaming hours later.
