Lil Nas X Rodeo (ft. Nas) (prod. Roy Lenzo, Take A Daytrip & Russ Chell)
In “Old Town Road,” Lil Nas X became a cowboy. For “Panini,” he graced a hyper-futuristic wonderland. With “Rodeo,” he’s teaming up with the man he copped his moniker from to deliver vampiric vibes, biting into our necks with another sensational music video.
In what’s becoming a huge part of his overall appeal, Lil Nas X has delivered yet another solid visual offering for “Rodeo,” a song off his celebrated 7 project. During his performance at the Grammy Awards, LNX shocked his fans by bringing out one of rap’s most respected characters, Nas, to debut the remix to “Rodeo.” Contributing to the country-tinged flavor of the song, Nas flexes his “rap don” prowess on the cut, complementing the 20-year-old’s style perfectly. He appears in the video as well to perform his portion, which brings Lil Nas X out of character to just vibe out next to the legend. Sometimes, the creative direction has to take a backseat to moment-making. This is certainly a moment for Lil Nas and Big Nas.
Watch the video above, which premiered this morning. Let us know if you’re vibing with the new video for “Rodeo.”

[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
[Verse 1: 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
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
[Refrain: 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 catalogue 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
