We've Got a Lot of Bricks

This song has been passed around on Facebook over the last week, and I can't remember on whose profile I first saw it. 

Anyway, it's a rap about my college: Hendrix College.
The lyrics are below, and they crack me up. If you're not a fellow Hendrix grad, you will probably find this of no real value. But come on, what other school has its own rap? 
And, yes, we do have a lot of bricks. 




"Black and Orange" by Hendrix College's Dylan Reed and Connor Silvestri

Yeah, uh huh, Hendrix College is
Black and Orange
Black and Orange
Black and Orange
Black and Orange
(x2)

Yeah, uh huh
Hendrix College is
the only way to go
so we do it big
Yeah, uh huh
we the best around
cuz every time you're here it's always goin' down.

We reppin our school
you can see it's got a lot of bricks
(black and orange(x4))
I promise you
no other school as a brick pit
(black and orange(x4))

Black and Orange,
not just for Halloween,
it's hendrix college
and we keep it green
i'm working in the lab
on my biology
then i gotta turn around
and do psychology
im born to be a warrior, in fact,
we got sports and intramurals all over the wac
and don't be so appalled
but we've never lost a single game of football at all
at all

Yeah, uh huh
Hendrix College is
the only way to go
so we do it big
Yeah, uh huh
we the best around
cuz every time you're here it's always goin' down.

We reppin our school
you can see it's got a lot of bricks
(black and orange(x4))
I promise you
no other school as a brick pit
(black and orange(x4))

yeah, hendrix college man
we live it up
i bleed black and orange
when i get a cut
man i swear
it's the best school in the world
we've got bricks all around
and 100 thousand squirrels
study in the day
party hard through the night
wake up
go to class
do it again
it's alright
friday night
if somebody asks where i'm at
i'm gon' say hendrix college
number one in the SCAC

Yeah, uh huh
Hendrix College is
the only way to go
so we do it big
Yeah, uh huh
we the best around
cuz every time you're here it's always goin' down.

We reppin our school
you can see it's got a lot of bricks
(black and orange(x4))
I promise you
no other school as a brick pit
(black and orange(x4))

Hey if you rep black and orange
then stop what you're doing
put your hands up
i said
hey if you represent this school
put ya hands up
put ya hands up
i said
Hey if you rep black and orange
then stop what you're doing
put your hands up
i said
hey (x9)

Yeah, uh huh
Hendrix College is
the only way to go
so we do it big
Yeah, uh huh
we the best around
cuz every time you're here it's always goin' down.

We reppin our school
you can see it's got a lot of bricks
(black and orange(x4))
I promise you
no other school as a brick pit
(black and orange(x4))




I'm not sure what the lyrics, and grammar, of the song say about my education, but when have you rapped about your college lately?
