Wrote this one shortly after leaving UMass Amherst, back in January/February/March of 2014

lyrics

What’s good, welcome to R+R
My name is Peter Fotis
Might know me as Makari, might know me as Audio Titan, might know me as Pete
Might know me as the barista behind the counter
It’s all good
Coming at you with some free bars, entirely not for profit
I don’t own any of this music
Except, uh, one of the beats was made by a friend of mine, he might not really mind in terms of legality bullshit but anyway
Check it
Nothings ever come to me more easily than rhyming
So recently, I grabbed the ladder and I started climbing
It seems to me the game could use more bars that blow the mind, and
That means to me the time has come to go and redefine it, so
Hopefully I’ll get you to rewind this mindless spittin that I’m doing with the things I grind with
Words, some of the most powerful tools one could use
I refuse to sit idle after some of the shit that’s in the news
So I’m sharpening my swords
Drop either of the “S”s and you’ll still find the same meaning inside of the message
If I’m sharpening my words, then I’m sharpening my sword
They’re one and the same, a force I’m grinding every second
If you see a demon that’s breathing fire, a heathen that’s leaving choirs
With nothing good or holy left to sing about
Then it’s me you’re peepin that’s wreakin havoc and wielding dark magic
Until the people stir from disbelief to scream and shout
Yo I’m telling you, this shit is too simple
I been hummin and drummin since being a kid with huge pimples
But not drummin on a set, I mean drummin on a desk
Drummin with my hands on my legs or my chest
No stress can be felt while I’m flowing
So whether I impress or I fail, I keep going
Cause all of that drummin honed my rhythm and givin just a
Moment
To my brain to solve the puzzles all it takes, then I’m rolling like
Thunder or Link, when he’s wearing the Goron Mask
Not that I’ve ever played Majora’s Mask
But I watched my friend slay it pretty fast
That’s a shout-out, to the legendary Saki
And while I’m at it I’ll include Berm, Sean, Tal, Hannah and Quachy
Aniket, Chris, Jake, Matt, Tim, Beal, Connor, Dan, Sagui
Chris, Katie, Evan, Laura, Bri, Tommy
Can’t forget Tristan, Dozzi and Botte
Yo I been missin
All you folks that made Puffton a dope place to live in
I’m just givin my thanks, so thanks for being chill now let me shout out this beat that’s gettin spanked
It’s sweet and it’s dank
A song called “Moon”, track 2 off the sick album
Mickey Mouse Operation by Little People
I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this ain’t a crapshoot
You and I are not equal
In regards to MCin, I’m takin charge of this region
By and large I’ll play my part in getting fraud rappers fleein from Eastern
Massachusetts, I got humans on the run
Succumbed to the pressure of tryna deal with flames spewin from my tongue
Dr. Strange’s successor – the Sorceror Supreme of this game
With the strength of a saiyan, don’t step to
Me cause I got the abilities of a fiend that just spent weeks
Pumping Brulo at the Hyperbolic Time Chamber
For real, the power level is 99999999999999
And it’s funny
That’s what a German would say if you asked him if you could outclass me even once out of a million times
Muhfucka, no, no, nine, not ever
You can believe what you want, but you’re not better
I drop treasure, I am demonic
A plague, bubonic
A slave to phonics
Betrayed by logic
One with these shouldn’t be made to polish
The countertops of a coffeeshop but I’ll happily do it temporarily
There is no scarin me
I was brought to this place by an astral creature that’s something of a rarity
And I bathe in the blood of all the competition quite merrily
The name is Audio Titan, name is Audio Titan, name is Audio Titan
Don’t forget it
The name is Audio Titan, name is Audio Titan
And if you like what you just heard, please spread it
Peace
