Ethical Principles: Pursuit of Excellence/Public Accountability

Verse Lyrics:

Tell me do you agree
Upon some degree
That living with no morals
Comes with a heavy fee
Yeah i know that there's struggles
I have suffered them all
It gets harder to juggle
Without taking a fall
See how you're living your life
See how you're doing it wrong
Try to make the changes
Find out where you belong
Trying to play in this game
Try to stay true to the claim
To strive out for honor
And not be the same
Why can it not be easy?
Why must it be so high?
Still you keep on pushing
There's no questioning why
It's just how you were built
See you living with pride?
You fall flat on your face
And you're still gonna strive
Trying to get to me,
Though they are friends of mine
Leave you with the debris
Gotta leave them behind
They all trying to hate
Mad that they labeled as goners
Take a look and you can tell
That I'm STRIVING FOR HONOR

It's easy to quit
It's harder to try
They don't understand
That it's hard to strive
Take a walk in my shoes
Steady trying to thrive
Trying to climb to the top
Trying to go and survive
Trying to rise above it
Trying to stay in the right
Trying to keep focused
Steady trying to drive
Thanks you for making me struggle,
Thank you for making me STRIVE
I perfected my morals,
They are no one's but mine
I've improved so greatly
It's incredible baby
I'm not giving up
That's what this struggle has made me
This what I'm trying to teach
I will keep trying to reach
And when I think that I can't,
I'll envision Coach Leach
I'll envision the Raiders
I'll envision the Jones
I know I ain’t perfect,
But I’ll try and atone
Ain’t you going to try it?
Start going back to reflect
Take a look and you can tell
That I’m gaining respect.
TEXAS TECH!
