15 Minutes Away - K'naan[00:00:00]
Yeah I am sending this one out to everybody[00:00:02]
That's had to wait on a money transfer[00:00:05]
Yeah it's kinda whack when they charge you like[00:00:08]
Ten percent on the dollar[00:00:10]
But you know how go it feels when they say[00:00:12]
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away[00:00:15]
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away[00:00:18]
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away[00:00:21]
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away[00:00:25]
The worst thing is the waiting man[00:00:28]
It's spiritually draining[00:00:30]
I guess I could repaint[00:00:32]
But don't think I'm complaining[00:00:33]
I'm in my small apartment[00:00:35]
This month has been the hardest[00:00:37]
I couldn't afford some omelettes[00:00:39]
I'm broken like an empty promise[00:00:40]
Sometimes when I'm in a meeting[00:00:42]
And everyone else is eating[00:00:44]
I feel so awkward asking[00:00:46]
So I pretend like I am fasting[00:00:47]
My girl had paid my payments[00:00:49]
She wants to save my anus[00:00:51]
She says my love contagious[00:00:52]
But my pride is so outrageous[00:00:54]
She sent me western union[00:00:56]
So I can make it throughing[00:00:58]
It felt so bad when she said write down this 11 digits[00:00:59]
I go out to receive it[00:01:03]
I'm desperate and I need it[00:01:04]
Feels like an angel speaking[00:01:06]
I can hardly believe it[00:01:08]
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away[00:01:10]
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away[00:01:13]
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away[00:01:17]
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away[00:01:20]
You finally got a calla[00:01:23]
You met him in sao paula[00:01:25]
A tourist with a dolla[00:01:27]
He's some kind of a balla[00:01:29]
Two babies in a scrolla[00:01:31]
And still he wants to holla[00:01:32]
He likes your pepsi cola[00:01:34]
But you ain't running low-la[00:01:36]
Brazilians make it easy[00:01:37]
For bellas or fo sheezy[00:01:39]
The sun would make him dizzy[00:01:41]
Working for something mezlee[00:01:43]
These girls will make you trust them[00:01:44]
Because sweetness in the custom[00:01:46]
But everyday they hustling[00:01:48]
Every day they hustling[00:01:50]
John calls her with the number[00:01:52]
Home with her local lover[00:01:53]
Who was it that picked up the phone[00:01:55]
Oh that was just my brother[00:01:57]
She goes out to receive it[00:01:58]
She's desperate and she needs it[00:02:00]
It's like an angel speaking[00:02:02]
She can hardly believe it[00:02:03]
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away[00:02:05]
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away[00:02:08]
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away[00:02:12]
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away[00:02:16]
I got my conformation[00:02:19]
The western union agent said grandma's destination[00:02:21]
Had violent inclination[00:02:24]
But now I'm proudly pacing[00:02:26]
And walking to the station[00:02:28]
Heavy perspiration[00:02:29]
But you can't tell me nothing[00:02:31]
I got my biz in order[00:02:33]
I made it cross the border[00:02:35]
Such dazzle such a horror[00:02:36]
His life is like an opera[00:02:38]
Grandma I never forget you[00:02:40]
Worry I'll never let you[00:02:41]
Soon as I leave the venue[00:02:43]
This money I will send you[00:02:45]
I still haven't gone astray[00:02:47]
Don't drink or smoke and sway[00:02:48]
Though sometimes I don't pray[00:02:50]
It feels so good to say[00:02:52]
Go out and receive it[00:02:54]
Cause I just know you need it[00:02:55]
Your boy has grow up decent[00:02:57]
Grandma can you believe it[00:02:59]
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away[00:03:01]
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away[00:03:04]
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away[00:03:07]
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away[00:03:11]
You let the beat ride out for a minute[00:03:17]
I'm a say some very quick to people[00:03:19]
I don't really do shout outs but I just wanna give a quick shout out[00:03:23]
