letra de the mountain - nico roberts

[intro]
yeah…
i hate when people tell me they understand this sh-t
you don’t
it’s gon’ be a long time before anybody feel me, if ever
for real
you won’t feel me ‘til—

[verse 1]
you won’t feel me ‘til the city love you, but it’s not love
and the girl you layin’ with forget the real you once the lights up
your chain look like the ocean, but inside you still dried up
and your brother call less ‘cause success got y’all tied up
trips down to rio, but the sun don’t hit the same
all these models in the lobby, but i don’t remember names
i sip a caipirinha just to quiet down the pain
but the taste feel bitter when you drownin’ in the fame
you buy whips that sit idle in the driveway
three bentleys and a lambo, but you uber on the sideway
‘cause it’s easier to hide when the driver know your secrets
but the mountain never sleeps, and the silence still deepens
had dinners in leblon, oysters, red wine pourin’
girls laughin’ loud like their happiness imported
but once the cameras cut, they remind you what you facin’
empty plates and emptier embraces
security pat you down, but they don’t check your soul
airport gates in gig got me feelin’ so cold
b-tches say they feel me when they scroll through their phone
but they never climbed this high on they own
every call home sound distant through the static
my mama askin’ if i’m happy — i lie, it’s automatic
she see the covers on the magazines, the charts say i’m winnin’
but the higher that i rise, the less air in my system
so i sit in the dark, lights off in the villa
starin’ at the christ statue, hopin’ he forgive us
rio look so pretty, but it hide so much sin
and the mountain that i’m on just remind me where i been
[hook]
the mountain’s high, but the air too thin
got a view of the world, but i lost my kin
took the long way up, through the fire, through sin
now i’m stuck at the top with the storm closin’ in
the mountain’s high, but the air too thin
got a view of the world, but i lost my kin
took the long way up, through the fire, through sin
now i’m stuck at the top with the storm closin’ in

[verse 2]
you won’t feel me ‘til you ride back through your city and don’t recognize it
‘cause the block you came from now got strangers occupyin’ it
you built the life you prayed for, but the cost still violent
and the people you kept close get replaced with silence
i been faded too long, daiquiris on copacabana
but the high always crash when the sunrise catch me standin’
at the edge of the balcony, wonderin’ who i am
‘cause the boy that had the dream got erased by the man
nights in ipanema, beaches glowin’, girls dancin’
but i leave with my shadow, none of them understand it
tattoos cover pain that i’ll never let out
‘cause the industry love blood when the cameras around
i told myself it’d stop once i got the throne
but every verse i wrote just cut me deeper to the bone
you won’t feel me ‘til the mountain take your air away
‘til the silence get so loud that you scared to pray
i’m haunted by the faces of the ones i lost
and every night in rio just remind me of the cost
‘cause life in the fast lane don’t come with no breaks
and the mountain gon’ keep climbin’ ‘til your body just aches
[outro]
yeah…
i thought the view would fix me
but it’s just clouds and echoes
another mountain behind every one you climb
and the higher you go, the colder it gets
but maybe that’s the test
maybe that’s the ride
the mountain never ends
and i’m still climbin’
