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