K'naan - 15 Minutes Lyrics

Yeah

I'm sending this one out to anyone who's had to wait to wait on a money transfer

Yeah it's kind of whack when they charge you like 10% on the dollar

But you know how good it feels when they say

(chorus)

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 it

But don't think i'm complaining

I'm in my small apartment

This month has been the hardest

I couldn't afford some omelets

I'm broke 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 helped pay my payments

She wants to save my anus

She says my love's contagious

But my pride is so outrageous

She sent me western union

So i could make it through it

It felt so good when she said

Write down this eleven digits

I go out to receive it

I'm desperate and i need it

Feels like an angel speaking

I can hardly believe it

(chorus)

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 caller

You met him in some parlor

A tourist with a dollar

He's some kind of a baller

Two babies in a stroller

And still he wants to holler

He likes your pepsi-cola

But you ain't running lola

Brazil ain't nothing easy

For velez or fa sheezy

The sun would make you dizzy

Working for something measly

These girls would make you trust 'em

Their sweetness is their custom

But every day they hustlin'

Every day they bustlin'

John calls her with the number

Home with her local number

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

(chorus)

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 confirmation

The western union agent

Said grandma's destination

Had violent inclinations

But now i'm proud and pacing

And walking to the station

Heavy percipitation

But you can't tell me nothing

I got my bills in order

I made it 'cross the border

Such dazzles such a horror

His life is like an opera

Grandma i'll 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 grown up decent

Grandma can you beleive it?

(chorus)

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
