Mega Ran - Proto Culture 2.0
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 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
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

Biography
Pursuing the academic field at the time as a middle school teacher (formerly a special education teacher), he donned the titles of both a musical artist and a teacher until 2011, where he ultimately quit teaching to focus on a full-time music career.
Ran started to gain mainstream attention in March 2009 for the song “Splash Woman” from his fifth, then newly-released album Mega Ran 9, then again in February 2012 for “Mega Ran’s Jeremy Lin Rap” which was played on ESPN, and was also featured on NBC Sports, The New York Times, and other news outlets – it being dedicated to the professional NBA basketball player Jeremy Lin who was trending widespread at the time and was NBA’s newest sensation.
His original name was Random, and then the transition from Mega Ran to Random was made until he officially changed it back to Mega Ran in February 2015 to avoid confusion:
Today I decided to change my name officially to just Mega Ran. It’s too confusing with at least 6 other acts named Random, and some sites don’t allow an aka… so, it’s officially a thing.
