The Tradition 가사

Born and raised from immigrant blood, Made a hardworking man out of me The Code I live by is the Honor and honesty What I learned was passed down, from the ghosts of my family Lessons learned long before, They came from across the sea [Chorus] {Friendship in struggle, courage in battle, wisdom in rage Ardor in labor, Piety in love, Knowledge is sage [x2]} Sacrifice don't always have a reward, Courage is something you can't afford Pittsburgh steel in my fathers eye, Gave me the will to win and the guts to try He showed no weakness not even a trace, 'til he broke his fist on my face He went from US Steel to MIT, I cherish what my parents taught to me: [Chorus] {Friendship in struggle, courage in battle, wisdom in rage Ardor in labor, Piety in love, Knowledge is sage [x2]} When I'm older I'll raise a family, I'll give them the substance that tempered me They taught me the meaning of being the best I can, They raised me to be a true American [Chorus] {Friendship in struggle, courage in battle, wisdom in rage Ardor in labor, Piety in love, Knowledge is sage [x2]}
