Lyrics:

Dad, I’m sick can you come pick me up from school?

Alright Lydia, I’m about 25 minutes away. I’ll be right over.

It’s a snowy school day
Gotta pick up my daughter
Hop in my whip
And be the daddy chauffer.

Rollin down the back roads
Goin through the snow.
Bumpin my 12 inch subs.
Soundin like a dance club.

Listenin to my favorites as I navigate the snow.
DJ Real, et al. and Nasty, my boys.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh...

So at this point I’m completely freaked out.
There’s an animal in my car, don’t’ know what it’s about.
It’s bigger than a mouse, smaller than a rat.
What the hell is that?

So I pull into somebodys driveway.
Open all my doors and hope it runs away.
But it’s cold outside and warm in my car.
And this little animal wants to stay.

I’m runnin around my car trying to get him to come out.
I know he’s in there and I can see.
As he peeks at me from under the seat.
What do I do, I’ll call Crissy.

She says, “Keep the doors open and crank the system.”
I know the bass to get his ass in gear.
et al's Real Broom Broom should get him outta here.
I’m blastin it and he’s runnin in fear.

Like Sonic the Hedgehog
He’s speedin round my car.
As this old lady saunters down her driveway,
She's lookin at me and my car, bizarre.

She goes, “You need to leave my driveway.”
I’m like, there’s an animal in my car.
But she means business.
So I hop back in my car and don’t go far.

The animals freaked out and so am I,
But I grit my teeth, try to be a tough guy.
He jumps on the seat and then onto my leg.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh...

I pull over again, cant’ go any further.
Try to get the little punk to exit my car.
To no avail, he just aint leavin.
I press on as I’m drivin I feel him.

Finally me and the ferret make it to school.
Scared as hell feelin like a cruel fool.
I stop next to Nate the security guard.
Maybe he knows how to get the ferret outta my car.

He calls in for reinforcements.
Korey, facilities manager, and 1 other dude.
Comes out with treats and animal food.

But the ferret just aint buyin it.
He’s hidin in the dash, biding his time.
Mechanic come out takes apart my glove compartment.
But there he is, but we can’t get him.

We blew a whistle like an audio missle.
But the ferret stayed in there, uncivil.
Me and Korey drove up the street. 
To blast the ferret out to a boomin beat.

But the ferret wouldn’t budge.
As we drove home double dutch.
On arrival I left the doors open.
Later on that day, there was no sign of him.

Korey, Nate, me and the mechanic
All agreed it was a baby ferret.
Almost turned me into a half wit.
Maybe if I caught him he coulda been lydias pet.

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
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.

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.
