Cruising down memory lane! Want to explain to you all how I got obsessed with Sega!
lyrics
[Creative Mind Frame]
Verse:
This a flashback, I was just little kid, S.N.E.S had me playing games a bit
It kinda fit, but really I must admit, that legitimately Sega games are the ones that
Hit home! I’m burning trails as sonic, I hope this feeling never ends, chronic
I been carrying a secret, for years about my gaming preferences, so I guess I’m bout to leak it
| Sega Genesis |
Let’s take a cruise down memory lane, by starting off how the Genesis came
To be integral, in my life, I’m talking literal, won’t say it twice
The commercials I’m seeing excited me repeatedly, I mustered up the courage and ask my parents eagerly
I begged and I pleaded, the console that I needed, in hopes that for my birthday I would definitely receive it
Hook:
[EyeQ]
Let’s take a cruise down memory lane
Its time to cruise let’s ride
(Repeat)
[Creative Mind Frame]
Verse:
| Genesis | Dreamcast |
As we cruise by take a look to your left, it’s elementary school I got the console (yessss)
It was a gift from a neighbor, I couldn’t believe it, I got my own (Segaaaaa!)
Man this is crazy, the music is amazing and I’m swapping games like I'm paraphrasing
This one's definitely for the ages, it set the ground work like code on web pages
Remembering the failed negotiation with the Genesis I figured for Dreamcast I would focus on the benefits
The benevolence of my parents, would surely be increased by the focused energy of my intelligence
But take a guess, again they said "Noooo! Focus on school! Where this gaming going to go?"
Yeah I’m thinking to myself “Parents are the worst” but ya boy got another plan in the works
Hook:
[EyeQ]
Let’s take a cruise down memory lane
Its time to cruise let’s ride
(Repeat)
[Creative Mind Frame]
Verse:
So we had a little party, let that
Birthday money be the way the I get that
Dreamcast in my life, respect that
Hustle caz' I was like 12, you know it set that
Mind over matter mentality gotta stress that
Nothing gonna stop me, never prevent that
Console from booting up you can run and tell that
Homeboy and home girl to pass on gifts
Gimme cash straight money, if you bring a wrapped gift I’ll say pass on this, that’s like a massive diss
But it literally would be a huge diss because I told everyone what my plan was when I invited them
Hook:
[EyeQ]
Let’s take a cruise down memory lane
Its time to cruise let’s ride
(Repeat)

Obviously as a nerd mainly into punk rock and heavy metal I first got into Mega Ran from his VGM-based projects. A Mega Man X project with vinyl to boot? Count me in! Amazing how the "Start" sound alone triggers a flood of good memories. Brilliant work guys. Sean Comerford

I love this album because Mega Ran handed it to me himself in Baltimore, it was the last copy they had! Also, it's a great collection of his work. coolloserguy

I love this whole album: It just captures a wide range of experiences and affects the listener with a wide range of emotions.
I first liked this album because of the nerdcore elements, but I fell in love when I realized that these verses were true poetry, speaking to a deeper truth and beauty unlike most hip-hop I've heard. "A Poet" exemplifies this with its bittersweet message about how poetry is not valued. This is the first hip-hop tune I've ever shed a tear over.
Take a bow, Mega Ran. platinumazure
