I know it's past visiting hours
But can I please give her these flowers
The doctor don't want to take procedures
He claimed my heart can't take the Anastasia
It'll send her body into a seizure
The little thing by the hospital bed, it'll stop beeping,
Hey chick, I'm at a lost for words
What do you say at this time?
Remember when I was nine?
Tell her everything gone be fine?
But I'd be lying, the 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 A.I.D.'s
And all the broke motherfuckers past away
You telling me if my grandma was in the N.B.A.
Right now she'd be OK?
But since she was just a secretary
Working for the church
For thirty five years
Things supposed to stop right here
My grandfather trying to pull it together, he 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 smoking reefer?
You don't see that we hurt
But still
[Chorus]
I smile
The roses come to see me
And I can't wait for a sunny day
(I'm seeing it through your eyes)
Can't wait for the clouds to break
They outside of the emergency room, room
You can feel my heart beat, beat, beat
If she gone pull through
We gone find out soon
But right now she 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 "Its this one thing"
When they said that she made it
You see the eyes gleam
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
So instead of sending flowers
We the roses
[Chorus]
I smile
The roses come to see me
And I can't wait for a sunny day
(I'm seeing it through your eyes)
Can't wait for the clouds to break
Who brings the sunshine?
Oh I smile
The roses come to see me
And I can't wait for a sunny day
(I'm seeing it through your eyes)
Can't wait for the clouds to break
But can I please give her these flowers
The doctor don't want to take procedures
He claimed my heart can't take the Anastasia
It'll send her body into a seizure
The little thing by the hospital bed, it'll stop beeping,
Hey chick, I'm at a lost for words
What do you say at this time?
Remember when I was nine?
Tell her everything gone be fine?
But I'd be lying, the family crying

Is it not "what kind of doctor can we fly in?"?
chick, his grandma, is his "heart". remember that the heart is also where you feel pain, sorrow, love, and whatnot. when he says "my heart" and "her body" in the next line, he's connecting what happens to her body, to his emotions or heart.
great piece. you can tell he put a lot into this piece. lots of emotions in this piece.
'The doctor don't wanna take procedures
He claim my heart can't take the anesthesia'
I don't get that part,
Kanye is talking about himself there and then he skips to his grandma here...
'It'll send her body into a seizure
The little thing by her hospital bed,
It'll stop beepin'
And eatamuffin, i had no idea his grandma and grandpa's nicknames were budd and chick
sorry i dont read bio's on celebs everyday,
and i have better things to do instead of memorzing celeb's family nicknames.. my bad
;_;
his grandmother is in the hospital and she's not doing good.
he starts to reminisce about better times [Remember when I was nine?]
he's frustrated because of the doctors' lack of help and insists that if they were rich or famous, his grandmother would be better taken care of [If Magic Johnson got a cure for AIDS. And all the broke mu'fuckers passed away You tellin' me if my grandma's in the NBA Right now she'd be ok?] & [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?]
the "roses" referred to in the song don't mean flowers. "roses" are the family members that come to see his grandmother [I smile when roses come to see me]
things are still looking bad but he's trying to be positive around 'chick', his grandmother [My momma say they say she could pass away any day Hey chick, what these doctors know anyway?]
the whole family is there cheering 'chick' on to pull through [Cousin Kim took off work. Plus my aunt Shirley, aunt Beverly, aunt Clay, and aunt Jean So many aunties we could have an auntie team]
'chick's' gonna be ok and everyone's happy [When they said that she made it you see they eyes gleam I think we at an all-time high]
again, instead of flowers, they send "roses" aka family [So instead of sendin' flowers, We the roses]
This is another powerful song from Kanye. It demonstrates how family orientated he is and how close his relationship is with his grandmother. It also shows how encouaging family can be.
