I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down Okay, that's it [Verse 1: Kanye West] Man, I promise, she's so self-conscious She has no idea what she doin' in college That major that she majored in don't make no money But she won't drop out, her parents'll look at her funny Now, tell me that ain't insecurr The concept of school seems so securr Sophomore, three yurrs, ain't picked a carurr She like, "I'll just stay down hurr and do hair" That's enough money to buy her a few pairs Of new Airs, 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 Alexis Had hair so long that it looked like weave She cut it all off, now she look like Eve She dealin' with some issues that you can't believe Single black female addicted to retail, and well [Chorus: Syleena Johnson & Kanye West] Oh, when it all, it all falls down Everybody say, "All falls down" And when it falls down, who you gon' call now?

Then I spent four hundred bucks on this (For real) Just to be like, "Nigga, you ain't up on this" And I can't even go to the grocery store Without some Ones that's clean, a shirt with a team It seem we livin' 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 tryna buy back our forty acres And for that paper, look how low we'll stoop Even if you in a Benz, you still a nigga in a coupe [Chorus: Syleena Johnson & Kanye West] Oh, when it all, it all falls down Come on, everybody say, "All falls down" And when it falls down, who you gon' call now? I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down I can't hear you! And when it all falls down Oh, when it all [Verse 3: Kanye West] I say, "–– the police," that's how I treat 'em We buy our way out of jail, but we can't buy freedom We'll buy a lot of clothes, but we don't really need 'em Things we buy to cover up what's inside 'Cause they made us hate ourself and love they wealth That's why shorty's hollerin', "Where the ballers at?" Drug dealer buy Jordan, crackhead buy crack And George Bush get paid off of all of that But I ain't even gon' act holier than thou Fuck it, I went to Jacob with 25 thou Before I had a house and I'd do it again I wanna be on 106 & Park, pushin' a Benz I want to act ballerific like it's all terrific I got a couple past-due bills, I won't get specific I got a problem with spendin' before I get it We all self-conscious, I'm just the first to admit it [Chorus: Syleena Johnson & Kanye West] Oh, when it all, it all falls down Yeah, now everybody say And when it falls down, who you gon' call now? I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down Now let me hear you say And when it all falls down Oh, when it all, it all falls down Let's go, let's go, lemme hear you say One more time, one more time I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down From the front to the back, say And when it all falls down
