Proto Culture V2.0

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

 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
