All Falls Down - Kanye West ft. Syleena Johnson
[Chorus - 4x]
Oh when it all, it all falls down
I'm telling you
ohh, it all falls down
[Verse - Kanye West]
Man I promise,
she's so self conscious
She has no idea what she's doing in college
That
major that she majored in don't make no money
But she won't drop out, her
parents will look at her funny
Now, tell me that ain't insecurrre
The
concept of school seems so securrre
Sophmore three yearrrs aint picked a
careerrr
She like fuck it, I'll just stay down herre and do hair
Cause
that's enough money to buy her a few pairs of new Airs
Cause her baby daddy
don't really care
She's so precious with the peer pressure
Couldn't afford
a car so she named her daughter Alexus (a Lexus)
She had hair so long that it
looked like weave
Then she cut it all off now she look like Eve
And she be
dealing with some issues that you can't believe
Single black female addicted
to retail and well
[Chorus - repeat 2x (w/ Kanye
ad-libs)]
[Verse - Kanye West]
Man I promise, I'm so self
conscious
That's why you always see me with at least one of my
watches
Rollies and Pasha's done drove me crazy
I can't even pronounce
nothing, pass that versace!
Then I spent 400 bucks on this
Just to be like
nigga you ain't up on this!
And I can't even go to the grocery
store
Without some ones thats clean and a shirt with a team
It seems we
living the american dream
But the people highest up got the lowest self
esteem
The prettiest people do the ugliest things
For the road to riches
and diamond rings
We shine because they hate us, floss cause they degrade
us
We trying to buy back our 40 acres
And for that paper, look how low we
a'stoop
Even if you in a Benz, you still a nigga in a
coop/coupe
[Chorus - repeat 2x (w/ Kanye
ad-libs)]
[Verse - Kanye West]
I say fuck the police, thats
how I treat em
We buy our way out of jail, but we can't buy freedom
We'll
buy a lot of clothes when we don't really need em
Things we buy to cover up
what's inside
Cause they make us hate ourself and love they wealth
That's
why shortys hollering "where the ballas' at?"
Drug dealer buy Jordans,
crackhead buy crack
And a white man get paid off of all of that
But I
ain't even gon act holier than thou
Cause fuck it, I went to Jacob with 25
thou
Before I had a house and I'd do it again
Cause I wanna be on 106 and
Park pushing a Benz
I wanna act ballerific like it's all terrific
I got a
couple past due bills, I won't get specific
I got a problem with spending
before I get it
We all self conscious I'm just the first to admit
it
[Chorus - to fade (w/ Kanye ad-libs)]
Oh when it all, it all falls down
