Rock it, buddy, with all your swagger!
In times that try to trip you up,
We're not cowards to lose our nerve!
Step into the field like a raging bull!
With the right thought in mind,
I'm a good guy with good intent.
I never put on a fake act,
I never forgot my roots.
I'm the king of witty banter,
Forever young at heart!
My comic timing gives me strength,
If you mess with me, you're finished!
Ask around in this town,
I'm the guy who lends a shoulder.
For friendship, I stand like a rock,
I'll always earn a good name!
Climb, climb, I'm going to climb!
I'll put up a ladder and go straight to the top!
I'm going to transform to a whole new level!
From now on, our show,
Just you watch!
Wait and see!
Aaaa... aa...
As long as you are bold enough
To face anything,
Everything you dream of will come true.
Hesitation will hold you back,
It will make you tremble within,
And fill you with fear.
Wild, soaring desires
Will grow and
Charm you, spoil you, and destroy you.
A smiling, giving,
And forgiving heart—
If you have that, life will blossom.
If someone suffers, lend a helping hand,
Take whatever you have and share it.
Depending on the situation you're in,
Lead your life well.
Keep wrong deeds far away,
Buddy, fix your mindset.
Banish every evil thought,
This is my philosophy.
Climb, climb, I'm going to climb!
I'll put up a ladder and go straight to the top!
I'm going to transform to a whole new level!
From now on, our show,
Just you watch!
Wait and see!
An innocent boy, a simple guy,
I'm your dear buddy and brother!
Dust might get into thoughts,
But my character will always be the best!
No fear to live the right way,
No time to do anything wrong.
In this life given by God,
I'm rocking it with smiles!
If you made a name by sheer luck,
Don't show off with arrogant mockery.
In the high of flattery and praise,
No one has ever stayed steady.
Don't, oh don't take
That route!
Towards a different side,
Change your mindset!
All those obstacles,
Toss them aside!
All your talent,
Go ahead and show it,
Show it with full power!
