[Intro]
Yo — K-V-P-S, listen up, gather round
Five pillars in the beat, feel the heartbeat of this town
We got Cooperation, Acceptance, Respect, Engagement, Safety
Turn the lesson into action — let's move, let's make it daily
[Chorus] (punchy, repeatable)
K-V-P-S — we stand, we rise (we rise)
Cooperate, accept, respect, engage — stay wise
Safety in our step, we're steady, unified
K-V-P-S — our code, our pride (repeat)
[Verse 1 — Cooperation: concrete scene & conflict]
Hallway hustle — group project, deadline tight
Two kids clash over colors, tempers flare, sparks ignite
Books hit the locker, voices spike, the room goes tense
I step in, breathe low, suggest a simple common sense
Hands pass the paper, split the tasks, we pivot and we plan
Share the weight, share the wins — now every single hand can
Lift the heavy, build the bridge, watch ideas resonate
Cooperate: share the weight, elevate the state
[Pre-Chorus — lead into hook]
From the classroom to the court, from the lab to the stage
Small acts multiply — that's the power that we wage
[Chorus]
K-V-P-S — we stand, we rise (we rise)
Cooperate, accept, respect, engage — stay wise
Safety in our step, we're steady, unified
K-V-P-S — our code, our pride (repeat)
[Verse 2 — Acceptance & Respect: scenes and rhyme]
New kid on the bench, shy smile, different name
Someone cracks a joke — could bruise or could reclaim
We choose the warm reply, "Welcome, pull up a seat"
Acceptance is a handshake that turns strangers into a beat
Respect's the language felt when you listen more than talk
When you hear the stories wrapped inside another walk
No labels, just echoes of each other's hum and song
Respect means correct the wrong, then keep the love strong
[Bridge — Conflict resolved into Engagement & Safety, call-and-response chant]
When the fire alarm rings, we don't panic, we flow
Buddy-check, step back, single-file, we go
(Leader) "Engage!" — (Group) "We show up!"
(Leader) "Speak!" — (Group) "We grow up!"
(Leader) "Safe?" — (Group) "Safe!"
(Leader) "Ready?" — (Group) "Ready!"
This is the chant, this is the pact — make it loud, make it steady
[Verse 3 — Engagement & Safety: action, resolution]
Engagement's more than nods, it's raising hands in class
It's mentoring the younger kid, it's fixing broken glass
It's student council plans, it's voting for the change
It's staying after practice, rearranging the range
Safety's not just rules, it's watching out when lights go dim
It's stepping in when tensions climb, it's checking on a limb
If someone slips, we catch, not laugh — we make the alley bright
Safety's daytime courage and the promise in the night
[Chorus — tighter, chantable]
K-V-P-S — five pillars, we progress
Cooperate, accept, respect, engage — feel blessed
Safety on the beat, together we invest
K-V-P-S — our code, our crest (repeat)
[Outro — rallying call, unforgettable close]
So when you walk these halls, or step into the street
Carry K-V-P-S like rhythm under feet
Pulse of community, every action tells
Cooperation,
