[Chorus 1]
Oh, when it [Am]all it all f[G#m]alls d[Gm]own
I'm tellin' you [Am]all it all f[G#m]alls d[Gm]own
Oh, when it [Am]all it all f[G#m]alls d[Gm]own
I'm tellin' you [Am]all it all f[G#m]alls d[Gm]own...

[Verse 1]
Man, I [Am]promise, she's so [G#m]self- con[Gm]scious
She has no idea what she doin' in college
That [Am]major that she majored
in don't make no [G#m]money
[Gm]But she won't drop out,
her parents'll look at her funny
[Am]Now, tell me that ain't inse[G#m]cure
[Gm]The concept of school seems so secure
Sopho[Am]more three years,
ain't picked a care[G#m]er
She [Gm]like,
"Fuck it, I'll just stay down here and do hair."
'Cause [Am]that's enough money
to buy her a [G#m]few pairs
[Gm]Of new Airs,
'cause her baby daddy don't really care
She's [Am]so precious with the peer pressu[G#m]re
[Gm]Couldn't afford a car,
so she named her daughter Alexis
She [Am]had hair so long that it looked like w[G#m]eave
[Gm]Then she cut it all off, now she look like Eve
And she be [Am]dealin' with some issues
that you can't be[G#m]lieve
[Gm]Single black female addicted to retail...

[Chorus 2]
Oh, when it [Am]all, it all [G#m]falls [Gm]down
I'm tellin' you [Am]all, it all [G#m]falls [Gm]down

[Verse 2]
Man, I [Am]promise, I'm so [G#m]self- con[Gm]scious
That's why you always see me
with at least one of my watches
[Am]Rollie's and Pasha's done drove me crazy[G#m]
[Gm]I can't even pronounce nothin',
pass that Ver-say-see!
[Am]Then I spent four hundred bucks on t[G#m]his
[Gm]Just to be like, "Nigga, you ain't up on this"
And I [Am]can't even go to the grocer[G#m]y store
With[Gm]out some Ones that's clean
and a shirt with a team
It [Am]seem we livin' the Ameri[G#m]can Dream
[Gm]But the people highest up
got the lowest self-esteem
The [Am]prettiest people do the ug[G#m]liest things
[Gm]For the road to riches and diamond rings
We [Am]shine because they hate us,
floss 'cause they [G#m]degrade us
[Gm]We tryna buy back our 40 acres
And [Am]for that paper, look how low w[G#m]e'll stoop
[Gm]Even if you in a Benz,

[Chorus 3]
you still a nigga in a coupe
[Am]...it all fall[G#m]s down[Gm]
I'm tellin' you [Am]all, it all [G#m]falls [Gm]down

[Verse 3]
I say, [Am]"Fuck the police," that's how I [G#m]treat 'em
We [Gm]buy our way out of jail,
but we can't buy freedom
We'll [Am]buy a lot of clothes,
but we don't really [G#m]need 'em
[Gm]Things we buy to cover up what's inside
'Cause they [Am]made us hate ourself
and love [G#m]they wealth
[Gm]That's why
shorty's hollerin', "Where the ballers at?"
Drug [Am]dealer buy Jordan, crackhead buy [G#m]crack
[Gm]And the white man get paid off of all of that
But I ain't [Am]even gon' act holier than [G#m]thou
'Cause [Gm]fuck it, I went to Jacob with 25 thou
Be[Am]fore I had a house and I'd do it a[G#m]gain
'Cause I [Gm]wanna be on 106 and Park,
pushin' a Benz
I want to [Am]act ballerific like it's all ter[G#m]rific
[Gm]I got a couple past-due bills,
I won't get specific
I got a [Am]problem with spendin' before I [G#m]get it
[Gm]We all self-conscious,

[Chorus 4]
I'm just the first to admit it
[Am]...it all fall[G#m]s down[Gm]
I'm tellin' you [Am]all, it all [G#m]falls [Gm]down
Oh, when it [Am]all it all f[G#m]alls d[Gm]own
I'm tellin' you [Am]all it all f[G#m]alls d[Gm]own
Oh, when it [Am]all it all f[G#m]alls d[Gm]own
I'm tellin' you [Am]all it all f[G#m]alls d[Gm]own
Oh, when it [Am]all it all f[G#m]alls d[Gm]own
I'm tellin' you [Am]all it all f[G#m]alls d[Gm]own
