Roses

(Verse 1: Kanye West)

I know it's past visiting hours

But can I please give her these flowers?

The doctor don't wanna take procedures

He claim her heart can't take the anaesthesia

It'll send her body into a seizure

That lil' thing by the hospital bed, it'll stop beepin

Hey chick, I'm at a loss for words

What do you say at this time? Remember when I was 9?

Tell her everything gon' be fine, but I be lyin'

Her family cryin', they want her to live, and she tryin'

I'm arguin like what kind of doctor can we fly in

You know the best medicine go to people that's paid

If Magic Johnson got a cure for AIDS

And all the broke motherfuckers passed away

You telling me if my grandma's in the NBA

Right now she'd be okay? But since she

Was just a secretary, worked for the church for 35 years

Things 'sposed to stop right here

My grandfather tryin to pull it together, he's strong

That's where I get my confidence from

I asked the nurse "Did you do the research?"

She asked me, "Can you sign some t-shirts?"

Bitch, is you smokin reefer?

You don't see that we hurt? But still

(Hook)

I smile, when Rosie comes to see me

And I can't wait for a sunny day (seeing it through your eyes)

Can't wait for the clouds to break

(Verse 2: Kanye West)

They outside of the emergency room, room

You can feel my heartbeat, beat, beat

If she gon' pull through, we gon' find out soon

But right now she asleep, sleep, sleep

My momma say they say she could pass away any day

Hey chick, what these doctors know anyway?

Let me see the X-rays, I ain't no expert, I'm just hurt

Cousin Kim took off of work

Plus my Aunt Shirley, Aunt Beverly, Aunt Clay and Aunt Jean

So many Aunties we could have an Auntie Team

Feel like Amerie, it's just "One Thing"

When they said that she made it you see they eyes gleam

I think we at a all-time high

To get there, we run, we fly, we drive

Cause with my family we know where home is

And so instead of sending flowers, we're the roses

(Hook)

I smile, when Rosie comes to see me

And I can't wait for a sunny day (seeing it through your eyes)

Can't wait for the clouds to break

(Sung) Oh, Rosie brings the sunshine, oh

(Hook)

I smile, when Rosie comes to see me

And I can't wait for a sunny day (seeing it through your eyes)

Can't wait for the clouds to break

(Outro (with Patti LaBelle))

I, smile, when Rosie come to see me

And I'm sad, when Rosie goes away

Oh Rosie brings the sunshine (say)

Can't wait, I can't wait, no

Can't wait, I can't wait, no

Can't wait, I, can't wait

No, can't wait, for, for a sunny day

Momma can't wait, for the clouds to break

Mm mmm mm mm-mm mm-mm

Oh oh oh oh no no, say

Tellin' you the truth now

Said I can't wait, uh-uh

I won't wait, no
