Kilimanjaro

M dɔdɔdɔ ti dɔ

[Verse 1]
I shook hands with my future self
I’m your future self let me introduce you to your future wealth
A toast is in order like crossing Arizona’s border
Or Jesus walking on water… chale
Normally I’m an anomaly like nuns with guns
Or priests with sons, M dot’s a preacher’s son
It ain’t all about funds but I’m seeking some
For a decent sum I’ll turn a cloudy day to sun
Got me on my Cassius Clay knocking out your bums
From bumming cigarettes to overseas tours of course
I’m striking a chord like organists you flapping your gums
Kilo is a thousand grams, my thoughts weigh a tonne
Word to my son Dela, that rhymes with Fela
Not a customer, a seller, more bars than cellars
Like Brandford Marsalis y'all talking that Jazz
Like asthma attacks I’m ready to spazz
I got my boarding pass and I’m catching a flight
I seize the day but then I’m kidnapping the night
Why should stress have me depressed when I’m meant to manifest
I should never ever rest till I climb everest

[Hook]
Kilimanjaro kill a man’s sorrow
Just remind the poor bloke
That this life is borrowed
Kilimanjaro we will not plateau
Till we reach the top oh
Modern day pharaohs
Kilimanjaro how high can I go
Daunting and beautiful
You dey weak my eyes oh
Kilimajaro kill a man’s sorrow

[Verse 2]
I am no Gil Scott-Heron but one thing I’m clear on
Home is where the hatred is you can ask Lebron
I bet on my swagger but the dagger that I fell on
Cut deep now I’m losing sleep, I’m I dead wrong
In my analysis
Dreams of Kings with chalices
Eyes on the sparrow tomorrow I’ll find where malice is
Men got two heads, brains and then phalluses
Which means we think as fuck or fuck thinking
Oh chale I see now
One day we’ll all grow old and senile
A couple of thick chics I got on speed dial
The reason why my ex think my flex so vile
I’ve been chasing dreams it seems for many miles
And if they try to hideout I smoke em out like black and milds
My thoughts getting loud like that Hip Hop label
Label me storyteller with these Aesop fables
My appraisal of my own life is I’ve been trife
I shoulda stuck to the picket fence, kid a wife
But who we kidding
Not here to do my own bidding
I’ve been 23 before just without a Pippen
Yeah whaddup Scottie
You know it’s God given
A young villain throwing rocks to break the glass ceiling
From Afajato I begin my conquest
I will never ever rest till I climb everest

[Hook]
Kilimanjaro kill a man’s sorrow
Just remind the poor bloke
That this life is borrowed
Kilimanjaro we will not plateau
Till we reach the top oh
Modern day pharaohs
Kilimanjaro how high can I go
Daunting and beautiful
You dey weak my eyes oh
Kilimajaro kill a man’s sorrow

[Verse 3]
Either I blow up or finally decide to be a grown up
Get a 9 to 5, suit and tie when I show up
Chale hold up, I should hold my horses
High ambitions fear of heights got me all nauseous
Aspire to be bosses rich rappers driving porsches
We too driven to be living chilling on porches
It’s an ugly world why my flow so gorgeous
Valleys and peaks it’s a life of paradoxes hmmm
My thoughts roam further from home than any nomad
Not ashamed of names I was formerly known as
Formally my ideas and music are forthcoming
When it hits you feel no pain it’s novacane it’s numbing
Pipe dreams got leaks, need tweaks and plumbing
Like court summons we all just need to make appearances
On top of Kilimanjaro the view does impress
But I will never rest till I climb everest

[Hook]
Kilimanjaro kill a man’s sorrow
Just remind the poor bloke
That this life is borrowed
Kilimanjaro we will not plateau
Till we reach the top oh
Modern day pharaohs
Kilimanjaro how high can I go
Daunting and beautiful
You dey weak my eyes oh
Kilimajaro kill a man’s sorrow
