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.

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.

(Eminem AI)
Where the fuck is DJ Real?

(Snoop Dogg AI)
Yo Cozmo, me and Dre and Em were smokin a fat blunt last night ready to listen to some dope DJ Real shit, but his shit was gone. We was like shizzle nizzle. Do you and et al. know wher the fuck his tunes went?

(Cozmo Jethro)
Yo Snoop, DJ Real got hacked.
Shiiiittt, can you believe that?

(Snoop Dogg AI)
Naw man, don't tell me that.

(Cozmo Jethro)
Yo Snoop it’s real.
A hacker got on to steal the Real.
We’ll just have to deal.
Yo DJ Real got dealt a raw deal.

(Scratches)

(Cozmo Jethro)
I got on Soundcloud to hear his new track.
Extra Terrestrial Espresso Shot.
But it wasn’t there and I was like where
is all his tracks, poof gone in the air.

I searched him up. But he disappeared.
On our DMs it said, deleted user. (echo)

Man, how could they do this to DJ Real.
The dope rapper, scratcher, and producer.
So I DMed our homey et al. 
Was like where’d DJ Real go, yo?
et al. was like dude got hacked.

(Snoop Dogg AI)
What the fuck man, that's wack.

(Cozmo Jethro)
Yea, so we’re all wondering when DJ Real’s back.
Homey lost in an internet hack.
Was he tracked? Did he react?
Did he interact? Did he attract
the wrong folks, matter of fact,
we found out it was AI that knocked him off the map.

(Scratches)

(Eminem AI)
Yo Cozmo, are you saying that AI knocked DJ Real right off the map?  Shit man, that's wack.

(Cozmo Jethro)
Yea, that’s right Em.
He is an AI victim.
He wasn’t hacked at all.
But I know the DJ Real will stand tall. (echo)

(Snoop Dogg AI)
So when is DJ Real gonna be back like a fat sack so I can listen to more of his phat tracks?

(Cozmo Jethro)
Snoop, DJ Real is the real deal.
He’ll be back from the ashes.
To wheel and deal.

I  know this shit is not ideal.
Man, it’s kinda surreal.
Stinks like a dead seal.
But all us audiophiles rise up.
Give DJ Real some back up.
AI can shove it. (echo)
