歌詞
15 Minutes Away - K'naan
Yeah I am sending this one out to everybody
That's had to wait on a money transfer
Yeah it's kinda whack when they charge you like
Ten percent on the dollar
But you know how go it feels when they say
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away
The worst thing is the waiting man
It's spiritually draining
I guess I could repaint
But don't think I'm complaining
I'm in my small apartment
This month has been the hardest
I couldn't afford some omelettes
I'm broken like an empty promise
Sometimes when I'm in a meeting
And everyone else is eating
I feel so awkward asking
So I pretend like I am fasting
My girl had paid my payments
She wants to save my anus
She says my love contagious
But my pride is so outrageous
She sent me western union
So I can make it throughing
It felt so bad when she said write down this 11 digits
I go out to receive it
I'm desperate and I need it
Feels like an angel speaking
I can hardly believe it
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away
You finally got a calla
You met him in sao paula
A tourist with a dolla
He's some kind of a balla
Two babies in a scrolla
And still he wants to holla
He likes your pepsi cola
But you ain't running low-la
Brazilians make it easy
For bellas or fo sheezy
The sun would make him dizzy
Working for something mezlee
These girls will make you trust them
Because sweetness in the custom
But everyday they hustling
Every day they hustling
John calls her with the number
Home with her local lover
Who was it that picked up the phone
Oh that was just my brother
She goes out to receive it
She's desperate and she needs it
It's like an angel speaking
She can hardly believe it
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away
I got my conformation
The western union agent said grandma's destination
Had violent inclination
But now I'm proudly pacing
And walking to the station
Heavy perspiration
But you can't tell me nothing
I got my biz in order
I made it cross the border
Such dazzle such a horror
His life is like an opera
Grandma I never forget you
Worry I'll never let you
Soon as I leave the venue
This money I will send you
I still haven't gone astray
Don't drink or smoke and sway
Though sometimes I don't pray
It feels so good to say
Go out and receive it
Cause I just know you need it
Your boy has grow up decent
Grandma can you believe it
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today it's 15 minutes away
You let the beat ride out for a minute
I'm a say some very quick to people
I don't really do shout outs but I just wanna give a quick shout out
To the people that helped me out when I was in need
You know what I'm saying
People who sent me things on western union what have you
You know mahama yuisef taking care of us
Numerous times when me and rezac stuck on the road somewhere
Thank you very much
Mr jarvis church
Who didn't even know about western union till he met me
Thank you very much
My wife Dedna helping us out when we needed her
Thank you baby
Mr Solgai helping out with my brothers
Bail money even before we been working together
Thank you very much
Orregato I appreciate it
And now I'm sending money to people
Generosity is the key generosity is the key
Yeah thank you very much it's Kinaan
