Gaaoui - For the Bus

Can I just have some change for the bus
Can this ask be kept between the two of us
I'm in a little rush, the day is dawning to dusk
But I can no be here, my new location's a must

I go for work some days to the city, not to pity
My brother you know that life here can be shifty
My sisters all deserve to be uplifted
So me I travel for higher change, though it gets risky

With intuition I play the game of life by wishing
To sell what I have, at prices so I am always dishing
That when I'm out, I 180 my route, returning home
Happy with a pocket full, of what I made in my roam

This day though, yuh know I'm an honest intent
I did not force it, so my sales barely made a dent
Maybe where I stood in location was a little blurry
Regardless, I'm not coming home with a money flurry

Why I ask, can I have change for the bus
Because we learn and now I lean on you for trust
I will not badger, and I'm not here to fuss
But like the rain over my head is turning me into rust

Mmm, my friend, my person, compadre, my mate
I came in for an snack and now it seems a new fate
Even for me it's getting late, you see I'm on a date
And currently my currency ain't convert at highly rate

But yuh spoke to me, and said I had a holy vibe
You maybe see it in my eyes, and my body no lie
You know I try to live it high so my whole life comprise
Now when you approach me I'm not questioning why

To speak honestly, I sigh a bit inside
It's like I wish that I could give you your own ride
So you would never have to be in this place again
Determined and ethical, the vibe is reciprocal

Your bag is with security by the door
I'll give you the change there, just before
You sure that this money is just for the bus
Said it's for the bus, I'm a G, and that's the last of us

Can I just have some change for the bus
Can this ask be kept between the two of us
I'm in a little rush, the day is dawning to dusk
But I can no be here, my new location's a must

Only make me reflect on my own experience
With a friend, when our pockets were small and life intense
Yuh know our bus left down the road, we had our ticket
Spent with the last of what we had so we try hope on lucky cricket

I think that mine was strong because we got the bus to wait
Motor taxied the road until we stopped at the bus plates
But now the issue was paying the taxis for the rides
I must now confide my life, although it hurt inside

On the bus, I get on, ask anyone for change
All the people can see the motor taxi wait for pay
Now lady by the grace of God could see us in our pain
And all of us must get on our ways, so she paid, nuff said

Would you give any person change for the bus
Are we all not the same, how you discriminate trust
Yes, oh lust, we eye our own as we want to clone
We all want throne, huh, do yuh, Judah

I pray yuh make it home, after all, this is yuh home
I know the money make it seem like we all foreign alone
But I for am not a drone, my mind a see more shown
My eye believe in the power of we and so I be, so free

Can I just have some, uh
Can this ask be kept uh
I'm in a, uhhuh uh, uhhuh
But I can, uh, yuh yuh, yuh yuh
