Wheel of Fortune on silent; fast forwarding ice breakers
Guessing consonant price takers
Maker's Mark: Park the bottle upside down
Town deserted for the desert
Foreshadowing: Impervious even if Simon says, "hurt"

Conversing with the security guard, Frank, at the Bank of America
Comerica Park, like she can't have my number; see about - stadium
Palladium: abundant souls; channeling everyone sent
Spent currency to get as high as Curren$y
Recurrence: see the past repeating itself
Selfless, like dearly departed - rewind time; Uncharted
Charted for a path that's Naughty Dog

Log spacetime manipulation—Bend Studio
So - pen is mightier than the sword, my lord
Award a shield, yield - writer's block
Pressing play on music when projects pause
Causality: AI-business-video games say hi...

All grounded, radio edit: Stay Fly
By channeling - Tennessee - Three 6 Mafia
The Green Book of Gaddafi…ugh…
Not in alignment—the last line meant
Establish People's Committee - bypass duplicity
Seen federally and through this city
He channels presence without the holiday
Today, the voice of the ground floor
Explored - implicate - explicate order
Bordering classical and quantum realm
At the helm of slow and fast thinking

---

Inking plots with Rorschach blots 
Personality: cryogenically frozen, like Dippn' Dots
Lots of thoughts not stored at a grocery store
Detour out the back—no cashier counteract
Tact when dealing with the diet
Fasting most of the day, you should try it

---

Sitting at the center of the desert
Impervious even if Simon says, "hurt"

---

Dirt - no, desert soils where diverse life forms
Swarms of tropical and polar echoing bipolar
Solar ray(s)-exposé-bedrock
Clock turning prehistoric—wait, no ahead like Expanse
Expands consciousness to Mars
Blood in the Desert, served at Martian bars

Wheel of Fortune on silent; fast forwarding ice breakers
Guessing consonant price takers
Maker's Mark: Park the bottle upside down

Foreshadowing: Impervious even if Simon says, "hurt"

Lyrics:

Been 35 years at the HTC
Since moving to Portland with my family.
The Hemophilia Treatment Center
What it was called as long as I can remember.

Now to make it all inclusive
For all of us w rare bleeding disorders
At OHSU a huge supporter
Now called the hemostatis and thrombosis center.

I’m dealing with another bleed,
Gotta call my homies at the HTC
I get on the horn with Greg and Nancy,
They’re like, “come  on down”  lets see what we can see.

I arrive at the hospital, kinda paradoxical.
I can see old friends at OHSU hospital.
Yea, I’m in pain and I’m bleedin again.
But with Greg and Nancy a PT party.

Now with Greg and Nancy, andy and the trainees,
Ultrasound, xrays, and physical therapy.
They always  deliver exactly what we need.
They exceed to get us back on our feet.

Me and Lydia taken care of by the best.
When we have a bleed they always ace the test.
In the Northwest hard pressed to suggest
Anyone else that could equally impress.

Been 35 years at the HTC
Since moving to Portland with my family.
The Hemophilia Treatment Center
What it was called as long as I can remember.

Now to make it all inclusive
For all of us w rare bleeding disorders
At OHSU a huge supporter
Now called the hemostatis and thrombosis center.

A hemophilia bleed can be scary and vile.
like being ostracised or left out in the wild.
an internal bleed, stinks like a cigarette.
sweat, dead pet, a fart under a blanket.

but, like the fresh air of a blooming daisy,
it's like that at,
the h h h h h t t t t t t t c c.

Now back in the day, it used to be Dave,
The OG of the PTs, Hooray!
He got me through so many bleeds and on my way.
Goin to see him was like a holiday.

He did everything so I could play basketball.
Above all he tried to overhaul
My protective equipment so I could stay on the ball.
All in all the protocol, didn’t stop the fall.

He was always there to help in any way.
With physical therapy and brightening my day.
Just like Greg and Nancy in modern day.
I give em all props in my wordplay.

So as I wrap up this rhyme.
Wanna give a prime time chime.
To the HTC, they’ve been there big time.
Cuase of them me and Lydia are fine.
The HTC aging like a fine wine.

Lyrics:
Freestyle Rexing USA, That was a our jamskating club name back in the day.

Freestyle Rexing USA
From Seattle to Portland
All day every day.

Back in the 90s. Jamskatin.
We’d slay in every way.

Hit the rinks 
up and down the west coast.
Winning rexing contests
More than most.

Here’s to our glory days.
Give us the praise.
We were the shit,
Back in the day.

FRUSA, Freestyle Rexing USA
FRUSA, Freestyle Rexing USA
FRUSA, Freestyle Rexing USA
Free Fr Free Fr Free Free Freee Freestyle Rexing USA. 

A bunch a tall guys 
over 6 foot 2.
Hot girls of FRUSA
We were the crew.

Jamskatin, breakskatin,
Rexin, and hexin.
Whatever you wanna call it.
It’s dancing while skatin. 

My 89 civic
And Wookie’s dope ride
Caravan to the rink,
Before it was world wide.
It was underground, electrified.

We all paired up
2 by 2,
The couples of FRUSA
Doin the do.

Wookie n Belle,
The darkskinned cuties.
When they’d rex together,
A thing of beauty.

Buxom blondes
Tenderheart and Bear,
Paired up with me and Gunther
Aww yeaaaa.

Add T-Rex and Too Tall.
To round us out.
No doubt when we traveled,
We had the clout.

FRUSA, Freestyle Rexing USA

Free Fr Free Fr Free Free Freee Freestyle Rexing USA.

Remember the day, we all traveled to Portland.
All stayed in one hotel room, dope man.
Bear snuggled up to Gunther that night.
25 years later, still married, that’s tight.

Defunct rinks that we skated at.
TLC and skate king were phat.
Loud with funk and hip hop.
Tacoma, Seattle, rex till we drop.

At the Redmond high school prom.
FRUSA rocked it and dropped a bomb.
We all danced the night away.
Wished it could always be that way.

Again we all piled into one hotel room.
The afterparty, biggidy boom.
Badabing, everything
Was on the upswing.

Rexing was our bond.
These were my friends,
Seemed like it could never end.
Rexing it did transcend.

Freestyle Rexing USA
A bunch of friends from back in the day.
We skated hard,  it was our way.
Now we're older and on our way.

Free fa free fa free free free free rex rex rex rex USA.

Decades dealing with content types
Stripes earned through images, videos, and hashtags
Challenges: vacuum-sealing trashbags
Emotional balances patterned by valances
Heartwarming - impressions start swarming
Outrageous - notetaking likes without pages
Entertaining the political and cultural domain
Scrolling - half of them seem to need Rogaine

---

Outside the norm - intended impacts
Syntax arranged; what does the pro gain?
Deep diving - semi-aquatic
Semiotic studies assign narrative arcs
Imperative parks along - slogan phrasing
Intelligence died out

---

Cried out for the Paul Bearer - Logan raising
Visual symbolism: Netflix boxing live-stream
Simplicity won out - why would he survive - dream?
Rather - nightmare, emotional resonance to fight fair
Working out memetic fitness - Witness novelty
Rhetorical device within a novel
Tea sipping - authority signals - seen tripping

---

Anyone who comes around trips
Surround Strips via augmented - see the cog cemented
Schadenfreude morphed into cancel culture
Culturally despondent U.S. voter respondent 
Social proofing cues conformity 
Crucified digitally, yet will form the T

---

Influencer validation: conflation of fool's and wise tales 
Algorithmic expressions to advise sales
Scales cross-platform trajectories - celebrity status selector fees

---

Real-world actions - won't you protect her, please?
Boosting engagement via the proposal photo
Photogenic behavioral amplifier - co-signor stamps the fire

---

Attire sponsor - offline response stars commotion 
Impressions - shares earning societal promotion
Emotional triggers shopping spree later
Appreciator of mainstream tipping points

---

Dipping joints - community seeding - population bleeding 
Conceding analog counter-messaging catalog
Will the data log turn into information?
Hesitation - pre-selected engagement bait

Wait…

Social Virality

Social Virality (Prod. Hjflash)

Written, performed, mixed and mastered by Jed Lapp.

There are 2 rappers that I adore.
Ari Lesser and Macklemore.
Ari dropped a diss track,
called Macklemore wack.
Come on Ari,
there’s more important things than that.

Palestine and Israel in a horrific war.
And Ari seems to blame Macklemore.
Ari, It goes deeper than that.
Stop taking your hate out on the Mack.

Today Hamas and the Jews
both refuse
to give up their holy lands.
So everyone will loose.

Hamas kidnapping Jews.
Hauling them underground.
Both sides mount offenses
the conflict compounds.

Both sides killing innocent civilians
by the thousands.
Dropping bombs on hospitals, schools, and houses.
Both sides are wrong and both sides are right.
Neither side will ever give up the fight.

I’m culturally Jewish but not religious.
I can see both sides are truly vicious.
Hamas a political terrorist group
wants Israel wiped up off the map.

Civilian Palestinians
just wanna live their lives.
Kids husbands and wives.
caught in the cross fire.

The Jewish state occupying Palestinian lands.
Civilian refugees getting bombed as they leave.

Hamas uses their citizens as human shields
hiding in hospital basements, bombed for real.
They rape and kill the Jewish people.
Take hostages and starve them, man unreal.

Both sides so filled with hate.
The rift is deep going on for decades.
Both sides committing horrific war crimes.
Will it ever end with a ceasefire?

Leaders of both sides perpetuating war.
Not what most civilians are asking for.
Deep dark agendas coming to the fore.
Things get worse as there’s more war.

I’m no Ari Lesser,
I’m no Macklemore.
Why attack the Mack,
He didn’t start the war.

Mack fighting for justice
In an unjust world.
Ari fighting Mack.
Now Ari that’s wack.

Ari I love you.
I’ve known of you forever.
But I can’t support
you’re one-sided endeavor.

Ari I’m sorry,
I stand with Macklemore.
And everything that he stands for.
Hind’s Hall.
