Kanye West Lyrics

Album: College Dropout

All Falls Down Lyrics

(feat. 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)]
