[Verse 1]
BbmI know it's past visiting hours
But Faugcan I please give her these flowers?
The doctor Bbm/Abdon't wanna take procedures
He claim her heart Ebcan't take the anaesthesia
It'll Bsend her body into a seizure
That lil' thing by Abmthe hospital bed, it'll stop beepin
Hey Bbmchick, I'm at a loss for words
What do you Ebm/Csay at this time? ReF7member when I was 9?
BbmTell her everything gon' be fine, but I be lyin'
Her family Faugcryin', they want her to live, and she tryin'
I'm Bbm/Abarguin like what kind of doctor can we fly in
EbYou know the best medicine go to people that's paid
BIf Magic Johnson got a cure for AIDS
AbmAnd all the broke motherfuckers passed away
You Bbmtelling me if my grandma's in the NBA
Right Ebm/Cnow she'd be oF7kay? But since she
Was just a Bbmsecretary, worked for the church for 35 years
FaugThings 'sposed to stop right here
My grandfather tryin to Bbm/Abpull it together, he's strong
That's Ebwhere I get my confidence from
I asked the Bnurse "Did you do the research?"
She asked Abmme, "Can you sign some t-shirts?"
BbmBitch, is you smokin reefer?
