Oh, when it all, it all falls down (yeah, this the real one baby)
I'm telling you all, it all falls down (London stand up)
Oh, when it all (southside)
It all falls down (we gon' set this party off right)
I'm telling you all (we set this party off right, or what?)
It all falls down (okay, that's it)

Man, I promise, she's so self-conscious
She has no idea what she doing in college
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 insecurr
The concept of school seems so securr
Sophomore three yerrs ain't picked a carerr
She like, I'll just stay down herre and do hair

That's enough money to buy her a few pairs of new airs
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
Had hair so long that it looked like weave
She cut it all off now she look like eve
She be dealing with some issues that you can't believe
Single black female addicted to retail and well

Oh, when it all (everybody say)
It all falls down (and when it falls down, who you gon' call now?)
I'm telling you all (let me hear you sing)
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 wit' at least one of my watches
Rollies and pashas done drove me crazy
I can't even pronounce nothin', pass that ver-say-see
Then I spent four hundred bucks on this (for real)
Just to be like, nigga, you ain't up on this
And I can't even go to the grocery sto'
Without some ones that's clean, a shirt with a team

It seems we living the American dream
But 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 tryna 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 coupe

Oh, when it all (come on, everybody say)
It all falls down (and when it falls down, who you gon' call now?)
I'm telling you all (I can't hear you)
It all falls down (and when it all falls down)
Oh, when it all

I say f-k 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 hollering where the ballers at?
Drug dealer buy jordans, crackhead buy crack
And a george bush get paid off of all of that

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
I wanna be on 106 & 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 (yeah, now everybody say)
It all falls down (and when it falls down, who you gon' call now?)
I'm telling you all (now let me hear you say)
It all falls down (and when it all falls down)
Oh, when it all (let's go, let's go, let me hear you say)
It all falls down (one more time, one more time, from the front to the back, say)
I'm telling you all
It all falls down (and when it all falls down
