Lyrics:

Yeea
Im sending this one out to anyone who's had to wait on a money transfer, yea its kinda whack when they charge you like 10 percent on the dollar but you know how good it feels when they say

You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away

The worst thing is the waiting man
Its spiritually draining
I guess i could repaint it, but dont think im complaing
Im in my small apartment
This month has been the hardest
I couldn't afford some omelets
Im broke like an empty promise
Sometimes when im 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 loves contagious but my pride is so outrageous
She sent me Western Union, so i can make it doin
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's speaking, I can hardly believe it

You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away

You finally got a cola, you met him in sarpola
A tourist with a dollar, he's some kind of a baller
Two babies in a stroller, and still he wants to hollar
He likes your pepsi-cola, but you aint runnin Lola
Brazil aint nothin easy, for velez or fa sheezy
The sun would make you dizzy
Workin for something measly
These girls would make you trust em
And sweetness is the custom
But everyday they hustlin, everyday they hustlin
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 recieve it she's desperate and she needs it
Its like an angel speaking, she can barely believe it

You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away

I got my confirmation
The western union agent
Said grandmas destination
Had violent inclination
But now im proud and pacing
And walking to the station
Heavy precipitation
But you cant me anything
I got my bills in order
I made it cross the border
Such dazzles such a horror
His life was like an Oprah
Grandma i never forget you
Worry i never let you
Soon as i leave the venue
This money i will send you
I still havnt gone astray
Dont drink or smoke and sway
Though sometimes i dont pray
It feels so good to say
Go out and recieve it
Cuz i just know you need it
Your boy has grown up decent
Grandma can you believe it?

You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away
You can pick it up today, its 15 minutes away
