[Verse 1] Stand tall, young man, when pressure gets loud There's no strength in a bark, but protectin’ the crowd Always Keep your word, if it costs you your pride Always look a man in the eye, Never shrink, and never hide. Honor ain’t dead, it never goes outta style It’s the way that you walk when the road turns wild It’s maning up, Keepin’ calm in the storm Keep your fire real, 'cause you gotta stay warm. Courage always tells truth, It ain't always about fists. Admittin’ your wrongs, and preserving your gifts. Integrity shines, when nobody can see. Who you are in when it's dark, Is the real legacy. Don’t laugh with the low, to fit in with the pack. If someone falls down, Use the strength in your back. Be sober with your tongue, Be precise and wise with your aim. Remember: A man builds a future, Not temporary fame. [Chorus] Walk with valor (Always!) Heart beats stronger Lift those, around you, So your light burns longer Truth in your spirit And steel in your soul Keep your eyes fixed (Up!) Live courageous and bold Verse 2 Cultivate discipline, That’s a powerful art. Control of the hands, Begins with strength of the heart A gentleman moves, With respect and restraint Use your voice to uplift, Never turn to complaint Read books, train hard, Keep your person in shape Never blame the world For the knocks that you take A leader brings peace, when chaoses arise. Never chasing applause, 'cause he's busy livin' right. Take care of your family, Your Country, and your kin Never measure your worth, By the money you win. There’s boys with gold chains, Still chained up inside And there's men with no riches, That's got oceans of pride. So, carry yourself upright, 'cause your ancestors are watchin’. Build all of your dreams, Instead of just talkin’. The world needs real men, Not just anger, and noise. You're standing up tall, Not like the reckless lil’ boys [Chorus] Walk with valor (Always!) Heart beats stronger Lift those, around you, So your light burns longer Truth in your spirit And steel in your soul Keep your eyes fixed (Up!) Live courageous and bold [Bridge] And when fear comes, knockin’ at your door. Breathe deep, stand tall, with ten toes on the floor. Remember, a calm mind is sharper, than a drawn shiny sword Real strength, saves life. And it always grows more [Verse 3] Keep your eyes held up, handshake firm, and your conscience clean. Don’t become bitter, From the things that you've seen. A warrior ain’t measured by the scars on his skin But by mercy, by strength, and grace he carries within. Protect the innocent, And speak for the small Stand back up, humble and resolved, Every time that you fall. Your name will echo Through the people you raise Through the love you give, and the honor you gave. So walk with integrity, welded in your frame. You're more than a trend, You're more than fortune and fame. Young man, the mission, Isn't power alone. It’s becoming a man Worthy, of a Heavenly throne. [Outro] Strong in mind Pure in intention Honor in action That’s the goal of succession Rise with compassion Lead with example A Gentleman's valor Is the armor that's ample [Final Chorus] Walk with valor (Always!) Heart beats stronger Lift those around you So your light burns longer Truth in your spirit And steel in your soul Keep your eyes fixed (Up!) Live, courageous and bold Live, courageous and bold!
