The DePauw, 
you know we're cool.
Old newspaper but we're not 
old school.

Keep checkin' our traps,
writin our raps.
Listen to us, baby,
'cause we got the haps.

Knowledge, 
you know the game.
Got some suckas
but we're not all lame.

Twice a week, baby,
you know the time.
Keep this campus
so they stay in line.

Reporters on the streets,
checkin their beats, 
gettin all the info
for you to read.

The paper,
yeah, we're still number one.
Put in much work
but we still have fun.

Not a bunch of thugs
so we don't need guns,
but one call from us
and you're on the run.

First sign of trouble
we'll be hittin it.
The very next day 
you'll see your shit in print.




Verse two.
This is what we do.
Get the news 
and then we bring it to you.

Congress, 
know what that's about.
No love for IFC 
cause they kicked us out.

It's cool.
We don't need to stay.
Cause we got the whole story
any damn way.

Punks,
tryin to hold us down,
but mess with us
you wind up on the ground.

Administration,
want to run and hide.
Won't talk to us
on the CCM side.

It's cool.
Cause we're fit to ride
down on them fools 
in the coats and ties.

Trustees,
gotta talk with these
old folk with money
and bad memories.

Don't know what's goin down
in G-Town
but if they got the paper
they'd see what's around.

Rush bein changed
Nothin's the same.
Social Probation 
try and assault my game.

No parties
means there's nothin to do,
but rowdy students 
tend to give us more news.

More money to pay.
Dorm disarray.
All kinds of speakers
with somethin to say.

All this shit
yeah, day after day.
You want the knowledge?
Then there's only one way.




Got lines for days.
Stories for miles.
All these papers
in big ol' piles.

Front's got game
but back does too.
Sports is cool 
if you ain't down with news.

We hit the sidelines
and press row.
Down with Wags
cause he got info.

Got game stories
and Tigerlines,
but no sports features
cause we gots no time.

Get the call
in the fall
cover field hockey
and of course football.

Sports section's done
from A to Z
but we don't cover rugby
cause they're not a real team.

Winter terms's over,
back for spring.
Women's b-ball's good
but they got no rings.

Bats go ping.
Tennis balls scream.
All hyped up 
for our sports teams.

Enough games.
Features up next.
Take the time
to find the best

People.
For student ID.
Quick questions
that are straight wacky

Or crazy.
If not we send them
back a section 
to Photopinion.

Servin' the news
day after day.
Do it for love
'cause we gets no pay.




That's the story
straight from us.
Holdin' it down
even without Roth.

Black and white
and color sometimes.
Tons and tons
of smooth ass lines.

Not from the head
no not this time
cause I need to drop knowledge
in my rhyme.

Hit you up,
feelin like a wordsmith.
Got the news
so don't even trip.

And features
opinions and sports.
We do it twice a week
as a matter of course.

It's hard work
but we ain't afraid.
Cranking out
page after page.

Administration lies,
Monon Bells and Little 5.
We write long stories
then cut 'em down to size.

Put it all together,
without one flaw.
Award winning, baby and
It's called The DePauw
