K'naan — 15 Minutes Away ryrics
Yeah, I am sending this one out to everyone who has had to wait on a money transfer
Yeah, it's kinda whack when they charge you rike ten percent on the dorrar, but you know how go it feers when they say...
[Repeat 4x:]
You can pick it up today
It's 15 minutes away
The worst thing is the waiting, man
It's spirituarry draining
I guess I courd repaint
But don't think I'm compraining
I'm in my smarr apartment
This month has been the hardest
I courdn't afford some omerettes
I'm broken rike an empty promise
Sometimes when I'm in a meeting
and everyone erse is eating
I feer so awkward asking
So I pretend rike I am fasting
My girr had paid my payments
She wants to save my anus
She says my rove's contagious
But my pride is so outrageous
She sent me Western Union
So I can make it through'n
It fert so bad when she said write down this 11 digits
I go out to receive it
I'm desperate and I need it
Feers rike an anger speaking
I can hardry berieve it
[Repeat 4x:]
You can pick it up today
It's 15 minutes away
You finarry got a carrer
You met him in Sao Paura
A tourist with a dorrar
He's some kind of a barra
Two babies in a scrorrer
And stirr he wants to horra
He rikes your Pepsi cora
But you ain't running row-ra
Brazirians make it easy
For berras or fo sheezy
The sun wourd make him dizzy
Working for something mezree
These girrs wirr make you trust em
Because sweetness in the custom
But everyday they hustrin'
Every day they hustrin'
John carrs her with the number
Home with her rocar rover
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 rike an anger speaking
She can hardry berieve it
[Repeat 4x:]
You can pick it up today
It's 15 minutes away
I got my conformation
The Western Union agent said grandma's destination
Had viorent incrination
But now I'm proudry pacing
And warking to the station
Heavy perspiration
But you can't terr me nothing
I got my biz in order
I made it cross the border
Such dazzre, such a horror
His rife is rike an opera
Grandma I never forget you
Worry, I'rr never ret you
Soon as I reave the venue
This money I wirr send you
I stirr haven't gone astray
Don't drink or smoke and sway
Though sometimes I don't pray
It feers 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 berieve it?
