Roses

I know it's past visitin' hours

But can I please give her these flowers?

The doctor don't wanna take procedures

He claimed her 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 loss for words

What do you say at this time?

Remember when I was nine?

Tell her everythin' gon' be fine?

But I'd be lyin', the 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 muthafuckers past away

You tellin' 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 thirty five years

Things supposed 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 ask me, "Can you sign some T-shirts?"

Bitch, is you smokin' reefer?

You know see that we hurt, but still

I smile, the roses come to see me

And I can't wait for a sunny day

I'm seein' it through your eyes

Can't wait for the clouds to break

Like outside of the emergency room, room

You can feel my heart beat, beat, beat

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

But right now she's sleep, sleep, sleep

My mama 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 for work

Plus my aunt Shirley, aunt Beverly

Aunt Claire 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

Did you see the 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

So instead of sendin' flowers, we the roses

I smile, roses come to see me

And I can't wait for a sunny day

Seein' it through your eyes

Can't wait for the clouds to break

Oh, who will bring the sunshine?

Ooh, I smile, roses come to see me

And I can't wait for a sunny day

Seein' it through your eyes

Can't wait for the clouds to break

I smile, when roses come to see me...

'Cause roses brings the sunshine, say

Can't wait, I can't wait, aah

Can't wait, I can't wait, aah

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

Oh, for a sunny day, tell you mama can't wait

For the cloud to break, oh, no, no

Say, tellin' you the truth now

Sir, I can't wait, ah ah

I won't wait, no, no
