Adam WarRock - Snows of Kilimanjaro lyrics

[Verse 1: Adam WarRock] These days I'm livin' life at light speed Faster than sound I'm gone before this is done And the lights go down And if you blink you might miss it These moments are taking flight to visit Clouds overcast the sun blocked out And when it rained it poured My heart absorbed precipitation Graduate school at graduation 'cause what I did for them, I gave them everything My life was on a different track Focused on making a name for myself And I said that I still rap And I still make the hands clap Though it's been three years last since Adam done that And slowly I took the steps to do right by myself I lost sleep, chances for promotion - fighting myself Now I sit in green rooms feeling kinda blue My legs are tired, I'm trying to battle through Close my eyes and think about where I've been And where I'm going when sometimes I sit alone in my room [Hook: Adam WarRock & MC Lars] X 2 It was all a dream Life was never what it seemed I never put it in a song I never captured the scene And as I lay here thinking back On all the stories that pa**ed All I can do is reminisce on how life's a funny thing [Verse 2: MC Lars] Manhattan snow fell quietly I held you in my arms Two Cali kids in Brooklyn We've both come hella far The moonlight kissed your eyelids As I listened to your breath I dreamt about our future As the tired city slept Coffee dates, egg whites Pancakes, late nights Sublets, plane flights Grad school, strange fights All this constant motion Would be stable by September It only took one weekend For the bond we built to sever And before you said those words Everything made sense to me I was so in love with you Guess it wasn't meant to be I never will apologize For following my heart For believing in my dreams Because you knew this from the start I wrote a letter And I left it on your pillow Watched the skyline fade From outside the taxi window Tears streamed down my cheeks Felt the compa** in my hand I left a girl in Brooklyn 'cause she didn't understand [Hook] X 2 It was all a dream Life was never what it seemed I never put it in a song I never captured the scene And as I lay here thinking back On all the stories that pa**ed All I can do is reminisce on how life's a funny thing [Verse 3: Adam WarRock] I had a five year plan By the time I reached 3-0 A wife and two kids A house in the hills and we go On vacations and soccer games But now I rock the same venues That I watched my heroes Do the same super ego And people say I write too fast Just trying to release The songs I never wrote Before still inside of me Plane buzzing by Come to take me to the summit That's the last I remember Before I'm falling asleep [Verse 4: MC Lars] I had a five year plan Thought I'd make a couple milli But this industry is heinous And the competition's silly So I'm making the transition To a path that's still uncharted I'm departing from the scene But I'm screaming no regrets I've been to many places Found some underground success Just like Ernest Hemingway Telling stories to the beat So much more to do and see Before I finally fall asleep [Hook] X 2 It was all a dream Life was never what it seemed I never put it in a song I never captured the scene And as I lay here thinking back On all the stories that pa**ed All I can do is reminisce on how life's a funny thing [Outro: Adam WarRock & MC Lars] X 2 And all I see's the mountain top in front of me So why do I feel like I'm running place? When I look down I see my white nikes under me Snow melting away, snow melting away
