Roses

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 anesthesia

It'll send her body into a seizure

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

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'd be lying

Her family crying, they want her to live and she trying

I'm arguing, 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'll be okay?

But since she was just a secretary

Worked for the church for thirty-five years

Things s'posed to stop right here

My grandfather trying 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 smoking reefer?

You don't see that we hurt? But still

I smile when Rosie comes to see me

And I can't wait for a sunny day (I'm seeing ya 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 Clay and Aunt Jean

So many Aunties we could have a 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

So instead of sending flowers, we the roses

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

Oh, Rosie brings the sunshine

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 (Your eyes, for the clouds to break)

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, oh, for a sunny day

Said momma can't wait for the clouds to break

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm

Oh-oh-oh-oh, no, no, say

Telling you the truth now

Said I can't wait, uh-uh

I won't wait, no
