John Legend - All Falls Down lyrics
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 f*** 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 (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, pa** that versace! Then I spent 400 bucks on this Just to be like n**** you ain't up on this! And I can't even go to the grocery store Without some ones that's 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 n***a in a coop/coupe [Chorus (w/ Kanye ad-libs)] [Verse - Kanye West] I say f*** the police, thats how I treat em We buy our way out of jail, but we can't buy freedom We'a buy a lot of clothes when 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 shortys hollering "where the ballas' at?" Drug dealer buy Jordans, crackhead buy crack And a white man get paid off of all a dat But I ain't even gon act holier than thou Cause f*** 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)]
