    Ten years in the making, Black Materia: The Remake is a hip-hop tribute to Final Fantasy VII.


    Black Materia: The Remake is a double-disc album, pressed on heavy-weight splattered black vinyl, enclosed in a gatefold jacket. This released contains exclusive artwork and masters created specifically for the vinyl release.

    Featuring twenty-five guest producers and rappers, Black Materia: The Remake takes listeners on a hip hop journey through Final Fantasy VII. The role-playing game centers on a group of heroic revolutionaries fighting to bring down Shinra, an energy company that’s destroying the planet for profit.

    Black Materia: The Remake retells the video game’s acclaimed story through narrative lyricism and powerful performances. The beats and backing tracks feature memorable moments from Nobuo Uematsu’s acclaimed Final Fantasy VII score.

    For Mega Ran, Black Materia: The Remake is the culmination of a more than decade-long career-making hip-hop tributes to video games. Following the viral success of his original Black Materia album in 2011, Ran left his job as a middle school teacher to pursue music full time.

lyrics

I can remember takin walks by the lake with her by my side,
I was Maybe 11 or 12 at the time, We were inseparable, but strictly a platonic thing
She was a bit of a tomboy, just trying to hang
So we traveled every where as a duo, I go you go, I know you know,
I was her confidant, and of course _she was mine,
So when we snuck off on that path past nibelheim
I knew we weren't supposed to but I did it,
Knowing full well that our parents would prolly kill us,
But, she was wit it, still she let us contin-ya,
She never was the type to pass on a good adventure,
When we saw the mountain I don't recall who decided
That it might be fun if we tried to climb it,
Inch by inch, we Almost made it top side,
Then she grabbed my hand when she felt a rock slide,
I yelled, It mightve sounded like I cried

We both crashed down hard on the rock floor,
A 12 foot drop but felt like a lot more,
I black out, ambulance showed up
I was on crutches, but she was in a coma,
And yeah I was hurt but I was worried bout Tifa
Her dad starts trippin tellin me I can't see her
I'm crushed like red pepper
Think I felt tears formin when he told me to forget her
Apologize forever and told him I'd do better,
But he said he never ever approve us being together
She somebody strong and that was inevitable,
If you love her try lettin her go,
Pain, felt like somebody was kickin me
Words can't express what that conversation did to me
All because of one childish mistake
I might not ever again see her beautiful face
I think I love her though

mic check 1, 2, 1-2, mic check 1, 2, 1-2
a 1-2, a 1-2, a 1-2, babygirl I want you, I want you
something about her got me so excited, I can't fight it, baby i think i like it..


I met a girl they called Tifa lockheart
she came in and she stole a piece of my heart
Tell me what I need to do,
So I can tell the world about me and you,

I met a girl they called Tifa lockheart
she came in and she stole a piece of my heart
Tell me what I need to do,
Ya got me its true All I need is you


Every day for a week i went to Tifas crib, brought flowers bought soup and whatever we could give
I used to just leave em at the gate,
Cuz I know pop tired of me being at the place
Eventually Tifa recovered
And I had to tell her something I could no longer keep under cover-- she was forgiving and luckly she still wanted to see me, tell me when, I come through early like a preemie
You might have to brace yourself for this next thing
I'm leaving town for Midgar
next spring
But the difference is this isn't for enjoyment,
And I'm not even going to find employment,
I wanna join soldier and be all I can be,
Then later I'll come back for all y'all to see
Who knows maybe i can be the next sephiroth
She promised me she'd be around at least to see me off
Fought tears and said she ain't want me to leave at all
She joked and said that I'd be famous
She'd read about my adventures in the daily papers
I couldn't tell her why I did it to be honest,
I just wanted to be strong to prove her father wrong, so before I left she made me make a promise, i told her id be honest
that if she ever was in bind, cloud you got us?
Ill always come to the rescue
I couldn't let you down you're too special
Thought this talk would be the last time, I saw her face, but as I looked up a shooting star passed by
I closed my eyes and made a wish, and clenched my fists and dreamt of eternal bliss,
Then I had to split,
Didn't see her till some years passed,
She needed my help, and I told her all she had to is ask.. And she did...
still beautiful like when we were kids, I still love her..
