[Kanye West] f. Syleena Johnson
(Chorus = Syleena)[ad-libs = Kanye]
Oh, When it all [yeah]
It all falls down [it’s the real one baby]
I’m telling you ohh [ugh]
It all falls down [chi-town stand up]
Oh, When it all [south side, south side]
It all falls down [We gunna set this party off right]
I’m tellin’ you ohh [west side, west side]
It all falls down [We gunna set this party off right]
Verse 1 — Kanye vocals —- [ad-libs by Syleena]
[and when it all]
Man I promise
She’s so self concience
She has no idea what she’s doin in college
[I’m tellin you ohh]
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 insecurrr
The concept a skool seems so securrr
Sophomore three years
Ain’t picked a carerrr
[and when it all]
She like, fuck it, I’ll just stay down herr and do hair
[it all falls down]
Cuz that’s enough money to buy her a few parrs a new airrs
[i’m tellin you ohh]
Cuz her baby daddy don’t really care
She’s so precious with the peer pressure
Couldn’t affor a car so she named her daughter Alexus
[and 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
(Chorus = Syleena)[ad-libs = Kanye]
And when it all
[ugh] It all falls down [and when it falls down who u gunn call now?]
I’m tellin you ohh [c’mon c’mon]
It all falls down [and when it all falls down]
Verse 2 — Kanye vocals —- [ad-libs by Syleena]
[and when it all]
Man, I promise
I’m so self concience
That’s why you always see me with atleast one of my watches
[i’m tellin you ohh]
Rollie’s and Pasha’s done drove me crazy
I can’t even pronounce nothing, pass that versace!
[and when it all]
Then I spent 400 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 some one’s that’s clean and a shirt with a team
[and when it all]
It seems we livin the American dream [it all falls down]
[i’m tellin you ohh]
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
[and 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 a stoop
Even if you in a Benz
You still a nigga in a coupe
(Chorus = Syleena)[ad-libs = Kanye]
And when it all
It all falls down [c’mon c’mon and when it falls down who u gon call now?]
I’m tellin you ohh [c’mon c’mon]
It all falls down [and when it all falls down]
Verse 3 — Kanye vocals —- [ad-libs by Syleena]
[and when it all]
I say, «fuck the police»
That’s how I treat em
We buy our way outta jail
But we can’t buy freedom
We’a buy alot of clothes when 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 holla «where tha balla’s at?»
Drugdealers buy Jordans
Crackheads buy crack
And a white man get paid offa alla dat [and when it all]
[it all falls down]
But I ain’t even gon act holier than thou-est
Cuz fuck it, I went to Jacob with 25 thou
[i’m tellin you ohh]
Before I had a house and I’d do it again
[it all falls down]
Cuz I wanna be on 106 and Park pushin a Benz
I wanna act Ballerific like it’s all terrific
[and when it all]
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 concience
I’m just the first to admit it
(Chorus = Syleena)[ad-libs = Kanye]
And when it all [c’mon c’mon]
It all falls down [and when it falls down who u gunn call now?]
I’m tellin you ohh [c’mon c’mon]
It all falls down [and when it all falls down]
And when it all [south side, south side]
It all falls down [we gunna set this party off right]
I’m tellin you ohh [west side, west side]
It all falls down [we gunna set this party off right]
And when it all [chi-town, chi-town]
It all falls down [we gunn show em how we get down]
I’m tellin you ohh [hey syleena..you just like a safebelt]
It all falls down [you saved my life]
And when it all
It all falls down
I’m tellin you ohh
It all falls down
[clapping fades out]
