All Falls Down Lyrics - John Legend

1 Oh when it all, it all falls down

2 I'm telling you ohh, it all falls down

3 [Verse - Kanye West]

4 Man I promise, she's so self conscious

5 She has no idea what she's doing in college

6 That major that she majored in don't make no money

7 But she won't drop out, her parents will look at her funny

8 Now, tell me that ain't insecurrre

9 The concept of school seems so securrre

10 Sophmore three yearrrs aint picked a careerrr

11 She like f*** it, I'll just stay down herre and do hair

12 Cause that's enough money to buy her a few pairs of new Airs

13 Cause her baby daddy don't really care

14 She's so precious with the peer pressure

15 Couldn't afford a car so she named her daughter Alexus (a Lexus)

16 She had hair so long that it looked like weave

17 Then she cut it all off now she look like Eve

18 And she be dealing with some issues that you can't believe

19 Single black female addicted to retail and well

20 [Chorus (w/ Kanye ad-libs)]

21 [Verse - Kanye West]

22 Man I promise, I'm so self conscious

23 That's why you always see me with at least one of my watches

24 Rollies and Pasha's done drove me crazy

25 I can't even pronounce nothing, pass that versace!

26 Then I spent 400 bucks on this

27 Just to be like n**** you ain't up on this!

28 And I can't even go to the grocery store

29 Without some ones that's clean and a shirt with a team

30 It seems we living the american dream

31 But the people highest up got the lowest self esteem

32 The prettiest people do the ugliest things

33 For the road to riches and diamond rings

34 We shine because they hate us, floss cause they degrade us

35 We trying to buy back our 40 acres

36 And for that paper, look how low we a'stoop

37 Even if you in a Benz, you still a nigga in a coop/coupe

38 [Chorus (w/ Kanye ad-libs)]

39 [Verse - Kanye West]

40 I say f*** the police, thats how I treat em

41 We buy our way out of jail, but we can't buy freedom

42 We'a buy a lot of clothes when we don't really need em

43 Things we buy to cover up what's inside

44 Cause they made us hate ourself and love they wealth

45 That's why shortys hollering "where the ballas' at?"

46 Drug dealer buy Jordans, crackhead buy crack

47 And a white man get paid off of all a dat

48 But I ain't even gon act holier than thou

49 Cause f*** it, I went to Jacob with 25 thou

50 Before I had a house and I'd do it again

51 Cause I wanna be on 106 and Park pushing a Benz

52 I wanna act ballerific like it's all terrific

53 I got a couple past due bills, I won't get specific

54 I got a problem with spending before I get it

55 We all self conscious I'm just the first to admit it

56 [Chorus - to fade (w/ Kanye ad-libs)]
