I'm telling you, ohh, it all falls down
I got a couple past due bills, I won't get specific
I'm telling you, ohh, it all falls down
I'm telling you, ohh, it all falls down
That's why shorty's hollering, "Where the ballas' at?"
But I ain't even gon' act holier than thou
I'm telling you ohh, it all falls down
Oh, when it all, it all falls down
Then I spent 400 bucks on this
Things we buy to cover up what's inside
Without some ones that's clean and a shirt with a team
Sophomore, three years, ain't picked a career
We trying to buy back our 40 acres
And I can't even go to the grocery store
I wanna act ballerific like it's all terrific
We all self conscious, I'm just the first to admit it
Oh, when it all, it all falls down
But she won't drop out, her parents will look at her funny
'Cause I wanna be on 106 and Park pushing a Benz
I can't even pronounce nothing, pass that Versace
I'm telling you, ohh, it all falls down
'Cause her baby daddy don't really care
She had hair so long that it looked like weave
Even if you in a Benz, you still a nigga in a coop
And for that paper, look how low we a'stoop
Oh, when it all, it all falls down
{I's can't keep workin' like this
She's so precious with the peer pressure
Just to be like nigga you ain't up on this
'Cause fuck it, I went to Jacob with 25 thou
Rollies and Pasha's done drove me crazy
That major that she majored in don't make no money
Drug dealer buy Jordans, crackhead buy crack
We buy our way out of jail, but we can't buy freedom
And a white man get paid off of all a dat
Oh, when it all, it all falls down
Oh, when it all, it all falls down
Before I had a house and I'd do it again
Oh, when it all, it all falls down
We'a buy a lot of clothes but we don't really need 'em
I got a problem with spending before I get it
For the road to riches and diamond rings
It seems we living the American dream
'Cause they made us hate ourself and love they wealth
Man I promise, I'm so self conscious
Now, tell me that ain't insecure
I say fuck the police, that's how I treat 'em
I'm telling you, ohh, it all falls down
She has no idea what she's doing in college
Man, I promise, she's so self conscious
'Cause that's enough money to buy her a few pairs of new airs
The people highest up got the lowest self esteem
We shine because they hate us, floss 'cause they degrade us
Couldn't afford a car so she named her daughter Alexus
The concept of school seems so secure
Single black female, addicted to retail and well
The prettiest people do the ugliest things
Then she cut it all off now she look like Eve
I'm telling you, ohh, it all falls down
She like, fuck it, I'll just stay down here and do hair
Oh, when it all, it all falls down
And she be dealing with some issues that you can't believe
That's why you always see me with at least one of my watches
