All Falls Down lyrics

Artist  : Kanye West 
Song : All Falls Down
 


[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)]
