MC Lars - Atlas lyrics

I was stocking up on trail mix
At the Walmart in Marina
When she called me with the news
I was standing in between the
Pokémon posters and the check out lane
Four years together
Life would never be the same
And I thought back to the day
When the two of us met
On a warm spring night at South by Southwest
Rapper pen pals sending texts and poems
'Till we hugged on that day at SFO
Moved back to Brooklyn left Marin
For the win
Two kids so in love that was when
I cashed in my miles and took your mom back
To New Zеaland
One of my favorite spots on the map
In thе Waitomo Caves I asked her to be
My partner and spend her life with me
Underneath the glow worms I read a haiku
Now she's calling on the phone and
She says the line is blue

Atlas, you don't have to hold
The world up by yourself
Now we're masked deep in quarantine
Straight tripping on your health
And when the venues reopen and
Daddy's back on the road
Put this song on repeat just to
Make sure you know that

Atlas, you don't have to hold
The world up by yourself
Now we're masked deep in quarantine
Straight tripping on your health
And when the venues reopen and
Daddy's back on the road
Put this song on repeat just
To make sure you know

You were born in the spring of 2020
When global events had us
Worried worried plenty
And this year they canceled that Austin show
And pretty much everything else going on, so
The city shut down we left Manhattan
Terrified, with no idea of what would happen
So we went to stay with Barbara and John
In Washington Crossing with
The manicured lawns and I’d be lying if I
Told you I wasn’t afraid
A whole new birth plan, everything changed
And now you're holding up our world
One day at a time
You haven't met my parents but
We're Zooming every night
The greatest gig we ever had was
To be your mom and dad
Happy birthday little Titan thanks for
Making life so rad
Standing on the edge of Gaia
I watch you levitate the sky
And even when I'm gone I'm
With you all the time

Atlas, you don't have to hold
The world up by yourself
Now we're masked deep in quarantine
Straight tripping on your health
And when the venues reopen and
Daddy's back on the road
Put this song on repeat just to
Make sure you know that

Atlas, you don't have to hold
The world up by yourself
Now we're masked deep in quarantine
Straight tripping on your health
And when the venues reopen and
Daddy's back on the road
Put this song on repeat just to
Make sure you know that
