There's a huge scandal over this music video at my school

Posted: 12 Jan 2017 10:54 AM PST

The music video has been all over local news about who let this be filmed inside the school and why, it's actually hilarious. I thought you guys would like the song or at least appreciate how upset local media is getting over it.

The song actually has a decent message if you listen until the second verse. The production value is super good too

The music video: http://youtu.be/_ba5xCLPXJQ
