Mega Ran, DJ DN3, Del the Funky Homosapien - Proto Culture 2.0 lyrics

Let me tell you about the Proto Culture
If you don't know the culture
Here's the whole structure
20 years ahead of the game, we gave props
And we still play the kind of games
You can't pick up at Game Stop

From arcades to consoles
You name it I got those
Hop on the sticks and I shut it down pronto
My ensemble, got mad combos
Never been Butt, unless I was playing Garou
Mark of the Wolves hey But, I like that game
Had other imports that was twice as strange
Dungeons & Dragons, Capcom's bеst
Radiant Silver, guns in the treasurе chest

Before n64 I was getting a whipping
From sneaking and calling Nintendo
Hotlines in the kitchen
In tomb raider I crawl through
Telling the homies to Fall through
Maniac Mansion but I had
To use the walkthrough

The homie put me on to the emulators
Every game in the arcade, already played 'em
All the original rhymes got translated
Now video game studies was mandated

Let me tell you about the Proto Culture
If you don't know the culture
Here's the whole structure
20 years ahead of the game, we gave props
And we still play the kind of games
You can't pick up at Game Stop

Yo I had to make important life decisions
Will I study something to help
Me make a living
Or will I continue to spend time progressing
Analyze combos and strategies for Tekken

So damn bad I beat Mario with a dance pad
Ransack, hit high scores you ain't
Got a chance at smash cats
Like EHonda with hundred hand slaps
Del dropped the syllabus
Now we in the advanced class

In high school I played this boy
Out the golden Zelda cartridge and Metroid
For Gyromite and Clu Clu Land
Told him next day
"black black no trade backs" hee Hee

I still prefer 3rd strike cause
Of the guard parry
NBA Ballers, crossing over with Marbury
PS2 had some bangers, Okami and San Andreas
But, I still prefer Dreamcast
That was prolly the greatest

Let me tell you about the Proto Culture
If you don't know the culture
Here's the whole structure
20 years ahead of the game, we gave props
And we still play the kind of games
You can't pick up at Game Stop

Catch me at GDQ, E3 too
We been about this life
Don’t let em deceive you
20 years later everybody jackin' the style
Every month a new battle royale, slow down

Twitch overrun by -hold it down now
There's games
See 'em loading up in the background
I remember getting bootlegs from
My favorite store
Till the feds busted them and
I didn't no more i would pass on Smash
The combos were too meticulous
Movement kinda limited
I couldn't get into it
Imported Million Arthur with my stimulus
But I still know the code to
Mike Tyson it's ridiculous

Right now I'm playing Project Warlock, y'all
And Prototype 2 running up sides of walls
Slicing the vice and cops trying to shoot
Laughing, throwing bums off the roof haha

Let me tell you about the Proto Culture
If you don't know the culture
Here's the whole structure
20 years ahead of the game, we gave props
And we still play the kind of game
You can't pick up at Game Stop
