"The Spokane Rap" (coming out soon in MP3)
By Doug Clark

Mayor V’s in the house
Still bringing the beats.
As the leader of the city
With the messed-up streets.

The river’s mighty pretty
Though a little bit rank.
You’d be better off swimming
In a septic tank.

We got crazy services
Like when you call a cop,
He might sex you up
In a tavern parking lot.

What’s a mayor gonna do
To put her burg on the map?
Let me bust a few rhymes
I call the Spokane Rap.
 
The broken boulevards
Are lookin’ woebegone.
Got potholes bigger
Than Lake Huron.

Like a roach commercial
You may have heard about –
Cars check in,
Don’t check out.

The market’s gone to hell.
Everybody’s in a daze.
Like the suckers who fell
For the condo craze.

They’re still livin’ downtown
But now they earn their pay,
Bumming change with other losers
At the STA.
 
I’m the main lion tamer
In the council chambers.
Joe, Bob, Steve, Al,
(And some other no-namers).

See how they jump
When I crack the whip.
They know Mayor V
Don’t take no lip.

Yo, I ain’t braggin’,
I know what I got.
I’m bringing the heat.
I’m Sharon Stone hot!

So don’t tell me
Spokane’s in the crapper.
I’m way too busy
As a full-time rapper!

Would any of you fine rap artists of the Viz, care to put together "The 
Moscow Rap"?

Seeya round town, Moscow.
