The Running Man

[penfield]

The Jason Hammersla Files salutes Oscar Mak, who fulfilled a life-long goal by completing the Boston Marathon this week in under four hours, beating his personal best time by nine full minutes. As part of this effort, Oscar was able to raise more than $2,700 for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. In his honor, I composed the following song -- in Oscar's trademark hip-hop style. Congratulations and Godspeed, Oscar.

"Oscar Kills Cancer (So Shut Up, Bitch)" by Jason Hammersla

There's a lot of suckas walkin',
Talkin' like they know tha score
But they got the wrong direction
It ain't like that anymore
It's a knowledge revolution!
Here's the bayonet of truth:
The death count here is rising
And it's going thru tha roof

You think that you a killa?
Cancer kicks your fuckin' ass
We all looking for an answer
And we need it fuckin' fast
While you walkin', talkin' shit
There's a gangsta on tha street
Runnin' mile afta mile
Stompin' cancer with his feet

CHORUS
All you wankstas frontin' ain't nothin'
While you sittin' on yo' ass, homey's busy gettin' rich
While you runnin' yo' mouth, he out runnin' for somethin'
Oscar kills cancer -- so shut up, bitch.
