Salkantay Stories Lyrics

Intro:
Salkantay, March 1st-March 5th 2016 Max Renier and I. This is Salkantay Stories. Over 70k covered, 4 nights, 5 days, crazy

Verse 1:
I wasn't at my best when I got to Peru
Little did I know I'd improve cuz of you
First two months really scared, nervous as fuck
Then came Salkantay that's when I grew up
Then one day Max Renier showed up at the vol house
Hella chill bruv wanted to see what he's about
Chilling and talking then we got to planning
Let's do Machu Picchu and be fucking mans yeah
Countin' down the days while we teaching deportes
Couldn't predict this trip would be so important
So much self growth I was on my florist flow
Bad weather entire trek, I was brainstorming though
Lyrics on lyrics late nights till mornings oh
By the way, I love being foreign though
Youngest on the hike, another girl same age
Post Picchu Loki hostel lost in the sauce to celebrate

Hook (2X):
4 nights 5 days that was Salkantay
Hike of a lifetime, thank you Max Renier
Made me who I am today, this is my story
Songs from Peru for you, but the struggle was for me

Verse 2:
Black Timbs, Polo pants, and North Face jacket
Life I'm living i know you wish you had it
Savage, that's those gorillas in the mist
Don't know what's colder, those nights in the tents
With the heat absent or the watch on my wrist
First day bumping Kendrick's "Good Kid M.A.A.D. City"
Needed the right mindset, powerful vibes in me
Second day was shit that's when I got sick
Wasn't gonna quit cuz I ain't no bitch
Boots drenched, shorts see-through, legs were froze
Only thing on my mind was how much further was to go
Third night just chilling and playing drinking games
Thinking how Picchu would be worth all the pain
Sat by the bonfire passing round some spliffs
Trip halfway over, kept thinking this was it, oh shit
Two days left and I was fucking loving it

Hook (2X):
4 nights 5 days that was Salkantay
Hike of a lifetime, thank you Max Renier
Made me who I am today, this my story
Songs from Peru for you, but the struggle was for me

Verse 3:
Third day was zip lining and detour through the jungle
Sick the entire trek made it more of a struggle
Fourth day was the final day, before heading up
Aguas Calientes in a hotel where we were set up
Kendrick dropped "Untitled Unmastered" helped me climb faster
4am woke up and got in line for the climb
1000+ steps before sunrise
Beat the tour guide's record, under 30 minutes
Pic with Cam and Nick yelling "Fuck yeah we did it!"
Abby and Carin came through a bit later
Lovely surprise happy that we all made it
Back to Loki where we all celebrated
Found a connect then we all got so faded
Had to stay an extra night, wasn't allowed to fly
Back in Trujillo was known as that sick guy
Made it back alive oh man what a time

Hook 2 (2X):
Thanks again Max for coming on this journey
OVO crew was formed, knew that you were worthy
Indo and deportes, #problem
Best teaching duo, no one can top us
