Intro
South Side!
Seventy-ninth!
Cross that gate. You better stand.
That’s a Leo Man!
Verse 1
From 79th where the Lions stand.
Heart of the city. Faith in our hands.
Raised on grit. Built on grind.
Pressure makes diamonds. Pressure refines.
Not just talk. We move with proof.
Rooted in God. Grounded in truth.
Brothers beside me. Shoulder to span.
You know that walk. That’s a Leo Man!
Pre-Chorus
Seventy-ninth. Line in the sand.
Cross that gate. You better stand.
South Side strong. We don’t bend.
We fall down. We rise again.
Chorus
Leo Man. South Side born.
Seventy-ninth where the fire was formed.
God above and we lock arms tight.
Black and orange in the city lights.
We don’t fold. We don’t back down.
Stand our ground in every town.
That’s who we are. That’s a Leo Man!
Verse 2
From the halls to the field. From the test to the fight
Character built. Walking in His light.
Carry your brother. Carry the load.
Honor your name wherever you go.
City on your back? Good! Stand tall!
We answer the pressure. We answer the call.
Legacy deep. A hundred-year plan.
Stamped in the soul. That’s a Leo Man!
Bridge
South Side raised us.
God saved us.
Trials made us.
Brotherhood shaped us.
Seventy-ninth. We claim that land.
More than a school. It makes the man!
Final Chorus
Leo Man. Stand and shine.
South Side heart on 79th.
God our anchor. Faith our stand.
Write it in action. That’s a Leo Man!
From yesterday into what we can!
Forever strong. That’s a Leo Man!
That’s a Leo Man!
That’s a Leo Man!
That’s a Leo Man!
