Oh, when it all, it all falls down I'm telling you, ohh, it all falls down
Oh, when it all, it all falls down I'm telling you, ohh, it all falls down
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 it ain't insecure The concept of school seems so secure Sophomore, three years, ain't picked a career She like, fuck it, I'll just stay down here 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
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
Oh, when it all, it all falls down I'm telling you ohh, it all falls down
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 that's clean and a shirt with a team
It seems we living the American dream 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
Oh, when it all, it all falls down I'm telling you, ohh, it all falls down
I say fuck the police, that's how I treat 'em We buy our way out of jail, but we can't buy freedom We'a 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 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 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
Oh, when it all, it all falls down I'm telling you, ohh, it all falls down
Oh, when it all, it all falls down I'm telling you, ohh, it all falls down
Oh, when it all, it all falls down I'm telling you, ohh, it all falls down
Oh, when it all, it all falls down I'm telling you, ohh, it all falls down
{I's can't keep workin' like this This grave shift is like a slave ship}
