Atlas - MC Lars

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

Pokemon 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 Zealand, one of my favorite spots on the map

In the Waitomo Caves I asked her to be

My partner and spend her life with me

Underneath the glown 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 our health

And when the venues reopen and Daddy’s back on the road

Put this song on repeat just to make sure that 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 our health

And when the venues reopen and Daddy’s back on the road

Put this song on repeat just to make sure that you know

You were born in the spring of 2020

When global events had us 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 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 our health

And when the venues reopen and Daddy’s back on the road

Put this song on repeat just to make sure that 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 our health

And when the venues reopen and Daddy’s back on the road

Put this song on repeat just to make sure that you know
