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
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 insecurrre
The concept of school seems so securrre

Sophmore three yearrrs aint picked a careerrr
She like **** it, I'll just stay down herre 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 （a Lexus）

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
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 ***** you ain't up on this!
And I can't even go to the grocery store
Without some ones thats clean
and 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 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 ***** in a coop/coupe
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 say **** the police, thats how I treat e
We buy our way out of jail,
but we can't buy freedom
We'll buy a lot of clothes when
we don't really need em
Things we buy to cover up what's inside
Cause they make us hate ourself
and love they wealth
That's why shortys hollering
"where the ballas' at?"
Drug dealer buy Jordans, crackhead buy crack
And a white man get paid off of all of that
But I ain't even gon act holier than thou
Cause **** it, I went to Jacob with 25 tho
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
