The Tradition - Anti-Heros

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

{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:

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
