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 best
+
Radiant Silver, guns in the treasure 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

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 E.Honda 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

+
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
