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.
so...
