Roses Lyrics

I know it's past visitin' hours
But can I please give her these flowers?
The doctor don't wanna take procedures
He claim her heart can't take the anesthesia
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 nine?
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 tellin' me if my grandma was in the NBA
Right now, she'd be okay?
But since she was just a secretary working for the church for thirty-five years
Things s'posed to stop right here?
My grandfather tryin' to pull it together, he 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
I smile
When roses come 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
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 'sleep, 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 Klaye and Aunt Jean
So many aunties we could have an Auntie Team
Feel like Amerie, it's this one thing
When they said that she made it, you see they eyes gleam (Oh, ah)
I think we at an all-time high
To get there, we run, we fly, we drive
'Cause with my family, we know where home is (Oh, oh)
So instead of sending flowers, we the roses
I smile (Oh, ah)
When roses come to see me (Oh, ah)
And I can't wait for a sunny day
Seeing it through your eyes, can't wait for the clouds to break ('Cause)
Rosie brings the sunshine
Oh, oh, ooh
Ooh, oh
I smile (Oh, ah)
When roses come to see me (Come to, come away)
And I can't wait for a sunny day (I can't wait, oh)
Seeing it through your eyes, can't wait for the clouds to break (Your eyes, for the clouds to break, woo)
I smile
When Rosie comes to see me
And I'm sad when Rosie goes away
'Cause 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
Said, "Mama can't wait
For the clouds to break"
Mm, mm, mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Oh, oh, oh, oh, no, no
Say, woah, say
Tellin' you the truth now
Said, "I can't wait," uh-uh
I won't wait, oh no
