"I basically was just speaking about how I was going to get around," Huwett said. "I was like, 'if they go on strike I'm calling Lyft' because I don't live to far from my jobs."
Huwett posted the video before the strike was announced.
"I just tried to think about related things, like what would happen when the strike actually hits. You're not going to be able to use tokens and none of the stations will be open," he explained. "Whatever that was relevent that could rhyme together. I just freestyled and did it in 15 minutes."
