Roses

(Kanye Talking)
I know it's past visiting hours
But can I please give her these flowers?
The doctor don't wanna take procedures
He claim my heart can't take the anesthesia
It'll send her body into a seizure
The little thing by the hospital bed,
It'll stop beepin'
Hey chick, I'm at a lost for words
What do you say at this time?
Remember when I was nine
Tell her everything gon' be fine
But I would be lyin', my family cryin'
They want her to live and she tryin'
I'm arguin' like what kinda doctor can we find?
Ya know the best medicine go to people tha's paid
If Magic Johnson got a cure for AIDS
And all the broke motherfuckas passed away
You tellin' me that if my grandma's in the NBA
Right now she'd be okay?
But since she was just a secretary workin' for the church
for 35 years, things s'posed to stop right here?
My grandfather tryna pull it together, he's strong
Tha's where I get my confidence from
I ask the nurse, "Did you do the research?"
She asked me, "Can you sign some t-shirts?"
"Bitch is you smokin' reefa?"
You don't see that we hurt? But still...
(Chorus)
I smile, when roses come to see me
And I can't wait for the sunny days (seeing it thru your eyes)
Can't wait for the clouds to break
(Kanye)
They outside of the emergency room (room)
You can feel my heart beat (beat, beat)
If she gon' pull thru
We gon' find out soon, but right now she sleep (sleep, sleep)
My mama said they say she could pass away any day
Hey chick, what these doctas know anyway?
Let me see the X-Rays, I ain't no expert, just hurt
Cousin Kim took off work
Plus my Aunt Shirley, Aunt Beverly, Aunt Clay, Aunt Gene
So many Aunties, we could have a auntie team
Feel like Amerie, it's this one thing
When they said that she made it, it made their eyes gleam
I think we at a all time high
to get there we run, we fly, we drive
Cuz with my family, you know where home is
So instead of sendin' flowers, we the roses
(Chorus)
It brings the sunshine
Ooooooh
(Chorus)
Can't wait, I can't wait
Can't wait, I can't wait
Can't wait, I can't wait
Can't wait, for a sunny day
Tell ya mama can't wait, for the clouds to break
Oh no, no
Say
Tellin' you the truth now
Said, I can't wait
I won't wait
I know it's past visiting hours
But can I please give her these flowers?
The doctor don't wanna take procedures
He claim my heart can't take the anesthesia
It'll send her body into a seizure
