The song is calling to follow "Our General Kim's footsteps".[4] The song begins:[1]

Tramp tramp tramp
the footsteps of our General Kim
spreading the spirit of February
tramp tramp tramping onwards

According to Yonhap, "General Kim" appears to be a reference to Kim Jong-un and February is a birth month of his father.[1] Additional song lyrics:[4]

Footsteps, Footsteps
spreading out further the sound of a brilliant future ahead
tramp, tramp, tramp, ah, footsteps
