paroles de chanson All Falls Down - Syleena Johnson , Kanye West

Oh, when it all (yeah), it all falls down (this the real one, baby)
I'm telling you all (uh, Chi-Town, stand up), it all falls down
Oh, when it all (Southside, Southside)
It all falls down (we gon' set this party off right)
I'm telling you all (Westside, Westside)
It all falls down (we gon' set this party off right), oh, when it all

Man, I promise, she's so self-conscious
She has no idea what she doin' in college (I'm telling you all)
That major that she majored in don't make no money
But she won't drop out, her parents'll 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" (oh, when it all)

'Cause that's enough money
To buy her a few pairs of new Airs (it all falls down)
'Cause her baby daddy don't really care (I'm telling you all)
She's so precious with the peer pressure
Couldn't afford a car, so she named her daughter, "Alexus" (oh, when it all)

She had hair so long that it looked like weave
Then she cut it all off now she look like Eve
And she be dealin' with some issues that you can't believe
Single black female addicted to retail and well

Oh, when it all (uh)
It all falls down (and when it falls down, who'd you gon' call now?)
I'm telling you all (come on, come on)
It all falls down (and when it all falls down), oh, when it all

Man I promise, I'm so self-conscious
That's why you always see me
With at least one of my watches (I'm telling you all)
Rollies and Pashas done drove me crazy
I can't even pronounce nothin', pass that Ver-say-see (oh, when it all)

Then I spent four hundred 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 someone that's clean and a shirt with a team (oh, when it all)

It seem we livin' the American Dream (it all falls down)
But the people highest up got the lowest self-esteem (I'm telling you all)
The prettiest people do the ugliest things
For the road to riches and diamond rings (oh, when it all)

We shine because they hate us, floss 'cause they degrade us
We tryna buy back our 40 acres
And for that paper, look how low we'll stoop
Even if you in a Benz, you still a nigga in a coupe

Oh, when it all (come on, come on)
It all falls down (and when it falls down, who you gon' call now?)
I'm telling you all (come on, come on)
It all falls down (and when it all falls down), oh, when it all

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'll 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 hollerin', "Where the ballers at?"
Drug dealer buy Jordans, crackhead buy crack
And a white man get paid off of all of that (oh, when it all)

But I ain't even gon' act holier than that (it all falls down)
'Cause fuck it, I went to Jacob with 25 thou' (I'm telling you all)
Before I had a house, and I'd do it again (it all falls down)
'Cause I wanna be on 106 & Park, pushin' a Benz (oh, when it all)

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 spendin' before I get it
We all self-conscious, I'm just the first to admit it

Oh, when it all (yeah, come on, come on)
It all falls down (and when it falls down, who'd you gon' call now?)
I'm telling you all (come on, come on)
It all falls down (and when it all falls down)

Oh, when it all (Southside, Southside)
It all falls down (we gon' set this party off right)
I'm telling you all (Westside, Westside)
It all falls down (we gon' set this party off right)

Oh, when it all (Chi-Town, Chi-Town)
It all falls down (we gon' show 'em how we get down)
I'm telling you all (now, Syleena, you just like a safe belt)
It all falls down (you saved my life, come on)
Oh, when it all, it all falls down
I'm telling you all, it all falls down

Us can't keep workin' like this
This grave shift is like a slave ship
