Lyrics, The College Dropout (2004)

“I know it's past visiting hours
But can I please give her these flowers
You know the best medicine go to people thats paid,
If Magic Johnson got a cure for A. I. D. S.
And all the broke muthafuckers 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 sposed to stop right here”
