Lyrics of Song "All Falls Down" by Kanye West

All Falls Down Lyrics

Kanye West

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 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}
