"99 Counties" By Herk-E

"99 Counties"*

By Herk-E

If you're having fan problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 counties and Johnson is one

I got Black Hawk County and Jasper County
Kids that wanna wear my Black and Gold
Football fans that cheer in Kinnick’s rows
Their from Iowa stupid that’s just how it goes
If you grew up with Hawks from your head to toes
You'd celebrate all Hawkeye wins over a foe
I'm like screw ISU you’re just my little bro
If you don't like my colors you can live in your hole
Got fans in your midst so, if you don't know the sco’
They gon’ wear my Tiger Hawk in your home town, ya know.
Cyclones try and claim Polk and Cass
So more Iowans can give em more cash for seats...losers
I don't know what they take ‘em as
They don’t know the power that Herk-E has
From Illinois to Nebby, I rule ‘em son
I got 99 counties and Story is one

99 counties and Cerro Gordo’s one
If you having fan problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 counties and Scott is one

The year is 2012 and my teams are set
In my rear view mirror are last season’s poor bet
I got a football team gonna play to a roar
pass on the outside and then run for a score
J-V-B throwing and the LBs tackling with hate
Plus I got a few backs who can carry the weight
Then I...head to CHA up the road
And I hear "Roy Devyn with the dish, Dunk l’Orange the score!"
Cause they’re young and they’re quick and they don’t score low
Will they make the NCAA sir, I don't know
But this ain’t the Butler Way, they gonna go!
Next the question is at one eighty four
That’s a big one for the wrestlers to go far
We’re Iowa though, so we’ll put them on their backs and they’ll know who we are
We’ll win the Big Ten and beat the Nits
After that 35, 25 will be legit
The ladies have been good but not quite gotten over the top
If their ACL’s hold together they’ll be tough to stop
Logic and Printy lead the team from the outside
With Johnson and freshmen on the inside
The Hawk women will again be a hit
Then golf and track and others will do their bit
Well see how well when the year is done
I got 99 counties and Woodbury is one
Herky

99 counties and Madison’s one
If you having fan problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 counties and Webster is one
Herky

99 counties and Marshall’s one
If you having fan problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 counties and Muscatine is one

Now once upon a time a long time ago
A mascot like myself came to IC from Idaho
This was not a hawk but a bear that came before me
A bear named Burch attacking guys from Mizzou, who get too pokey
He tried to ignore him and stretch his legs a bit
But he was pushed too far and had to back hit
I’m cut from the same cloth so don’t step in it
I’ll put you back in your place in a minute
Then the thing that's gonna happen is i'mma get to clapping
Me and my boys gon' be cheering for the Captain
And there I go directin’ the HMB again
Back to the field with the dance team again
Cheerleaders on the field stuntin’ again
DI photogs with they cameras snapping them
Visitors tried to beat the Hawks on the field again
Think they can do it cause we’re Iowan
All because this fool was coachin’ them
Trying to play my boys like they weaka then
But ain't nothing weak 'bout how Hawks get it done
I got 99 counties and Marion is one
Herky

99 counties and Linn is one
If you having fan problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 counties and Carroll is one
Herky

99 counties and Lee is one
If you having fan problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 counties and Dubuque is one
Herky

99 counties and Greene is one
If you having fan problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 counties and Des Moines is one
