about
A SUPER REMIX of the Remake of the Proto Culture track.
lyrics
KU
In team deathmatch I need less scratch
it's an optical attack, with optimal attachments
I had to wait to customize in Phantom Pain
the way Konami did Kojima was just a shame
DEL:
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
SkyBlew:
Grew up a game freak, Pokémon, caught 'em all
from the street, but a geek overall
I recall GameShark; lives lost, gained heart
started selecting the right controls to paint art
GIZMO
I walk through creep on the ops like Splinter Cell
the outer haven I burn thru the ice crown citadel
melt solid to liquid snake my brothers them vicious
Big Boss on em we geared up from Metal to Rex pay respect
Let me tell you bout the proto culture
If you don't know the culture here's the whole structure
20 years ahead of the game we gave props
still we get the kinda titles you can't pick up at Game Stop
(2x)
JESSE DANGEROUSLY:
I had Mattel Intellivision in the crib as a kid
I had to tell my friends that visit what the hell that it is, it isn't
Sega, Coleco, Atari, Tandy or Commodore
It's the system that belonged to my mom before I was born
Respect that.
WORDBURGLAR:
Nintendo Power Acheiever - Wordburglar, last name Jordan
No wonder number 23's the one my high score's in / Facts!
You never played Chrono Trigger? A shame jack
But you can always go back in time and change that!
AO LYRICAL:
Playing these fighting games, gotta get techno kid
i'm repeating combos I'm punching i'm winning I'm sending
Castlevania whipping, sippin dippin flippin
keeping all the money to get extra life and spirit
DA RAP NERD:
A monster hunter and a gunner with a goldeneye,
I'm staying sly and rap to GTA for life
Keyblade on my hip to switch it up on sight
Till it's the last of us and you dead by daylight
Let me tell you bout the proto culture
If you don't know the culture here's the whole structure
20 years ahead of the game we gave props
still we get the kinda titles you can't pick up at Game Stop
(2x)
DEL:
Twitch overrun by -hold it down now
There's games, see 'em loading up in the background
I remember getting bootlegs from my favorite sto'
Till the feds busted them and I didn't no mo'
MARK COOPER:
We gamepros where the demos hold in the centerfold
Same era where my grades would enter the blood code
On 99 i'm a contra fan, Konami plan
Brand midway on fire, that Nba Jam
KU:
Locked and loaded, the block exploded
when the message is decoded then I've clocked your motive
Gotta get your whole squad in order
overtake your mother base and give my marching orders
INT EIGHTY:
I remember saving money pressed to buy an NES
Only just to later pirate games when I was penniless
With plenty debt, weighing on me like I'm heavyset
Forever Famicom meant surviving pandemic events
LEX THE LEXICON ARTIST:
Only ever watched my brother play Pokemon Gold
till he told me make your own so I dove in the fold
Built my teams, beat the leaders now it feels so familiar
Like going back to kanto during Pokemon Silver
MC FRONTALOT:
Every platform’s got a gospel, religion
I was apostle to MULE and Impossible Mission
on my 6-4, Way of the Exploding Fist
L, shift-O, shift-2, asterisk
MEGA RAN:
Man, we So ahead of our timing
ultima up to skyrim
Skills never declining
Loving the endless grinding
Never know where you’ll find him
Rhyming on twitch
Defining our niche
This is the remix
(COME ON!)
