Roses Lyrics - Kanye West

1 I know it's past visiting hours but can I please give her these flowers?

2 The doctor don't wanna take procedures, he claim her heart can't take the anaesthesia

3 It'll send her body into a seizure, that little thing by the hospital bed, it'll stop beepin'

4 Hey chick, I'm at a loss for words

5 What do you say at this time, "Remember when I was nine?"

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

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

8 I'm arguin like, "What kind of doctor can we fly in?"

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

10 If Magic Johnson got a cure for AIDS and all the broke motherfuckers passed away

11 You telling me if my grandma's in the NBA, right now she'd be okay?

12 But since she was just a secretary, worked for the church for thirty-five years

13 Things supposed to stop right here, my grandfather tryin to pull it together, he's strong

14 That's where I get my confidence from

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

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

17 Bitch, is you smokin' reefer?

18 You don't see that we hurt? But still

19 '''Bill Withers:'''

20 I smile when Rosie comes to see me

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

22 Can't wait for the clouds to break

23 '''Kanye West:'''

24 They outside of the emergency room, room, you can feel my heartbeat, beat, beat

25 If she gon' pull through, we gon' find out soon but right now she asleep, sleep, sleep

26 My mama say they say she could pass away anyday

27 Hey chick, what these doctors know anyway?

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

29 Cousin Kim took off of work

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

31 So many aunties we could have an auntie team

32 Feel like Amerie, it's just one thing when they said that she made it you see they eyes gleam

33 I think we at a all-time high to get there, we run, we fly, we drive

34 'Cause with my family we know where home is so instead of sending flowers, we're the roses

35 '''Bill Withers:'''

36 I smile when Rosie comes to see me

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

38 Can't wait for the clouds to break

39 Oh, Rosie brings the sunshine, oh

40 I smile when roses comes to see me

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

42 Can't wait for the clouds to break

43 '''Bill Withers and Patti LaBelle:'''

44 I smile when Rosie come to see me

45 And I'm sad, when Rosie goes away

46 Oh Rosie brings the sunshine (Say)

47 '''Patti LaBelle:'''

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

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

50 Can't wait, I, can't wait

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

52 Momma can't wait for the clouds to break

53 Mm mmm mm mm-mm mm-mm

54 Oh, oh, oh, oh, no, no, say

55 Tellin' you the truth now

56 Said I can't wait, uh-uh

57 I won't wait, no
