Atlas Flushed by Milo (Rory Ferreira) is the fifth track of his mixtape titled Milo Takes Baths, a album where he raps solely over Chillwave/Electronic producer Baths beats.
The beat used for this song is:
Apologetic Shoulder Blades — Baths
[Chorus]
When I meet the man up top, I will bargain for nothing
And I will accept my lot among those who are suffering
When I meet the man up top, I will bargain for nothing
And I will accept my lot among those who are suffering
When I meet the man up top, I will bargain for nothing
And I will accept my lot among those who are suffering
When I meet the man up top, I will bargain for nothing
And I will accept my lot among those who are suffering
[Verse 1]
Yesterday, my car died and with it, my dignity
So I can bear all like a Greek sculpture sans fig leaf
If I were to cover up, I assure you it'd be a big wreath
I've burned Nag Champa but I've never hit the peace pipe
I've been far too concerned with getting my moral peace right
There was a time where I was the freshest dude on JV B squad
And the kids that I went to school with were uptight like PVC rods
I thought I could define my blackness with a sports team
Needless to say, that was quite the short dream
I went from nigga to nigga in a small timeframe
But this was all before the giant eyeglasses came
I assume this is why I identify with Bruce Wayne
It's a shame that I never had a jump-shot
And a video game is the only time I've ever pumped Glocks
I've convinced many a lass to inspect her nudes
Under the guise of moral rectitude
I'm not the dude you should lecture to
[Verse 2]
I've got these elaborate daydreams of picking mangos
The reality is I spend too much time surfing BangBros
It's staggering, I'm a blabbering Bilbo Baggins
Ordained in piety-wrapped factions as captain
I'm a despondent Howard Moon
Trapped in an ornate flowery tomb with powdery-blue
Dancing shoes pissing in urinals taking time to decode the etchings
Skipping class is one of life's fine little blessings
Reading Schopenhauer and feeling mad dense
That I neglected to snag chips off Adsense
Chatting with girls with shirts that are mildly see-through
Asking myself, "If Rob was here, what would he do?"
[Verse 3]
Staring at my ex-girlfriends Facebook photos
Negates that all these blog nods make me feel like Glen Coco
Which is cooler: a write-up on Forbes
Or to be running a top ranked guild on Horde
My mother named me Rory after a dude who was assassinated
I've got potentials that may never be actuated
I've something like the nerdy dude ambassador
With the Fishscale tape banging loud in the Flux Capacitor
[Chorus]
When I meet the man up top, I will bargain for nothing
And I will accept my lot among those who are suffering
When I meet the man up top, I will bargain for nothing
And I will accept my lot among those who are suffering
When I meet the man up top, I will bargain for nothing
And I will accept my lot among those who are suffering
When I meet the man up top, I will bargain for nothing
And I will accept my lot among those who are suffering
