All Falls Down

[Refrão]

            Bm7         Bbm7  Am7
Oh, when it all, it all falls down

 Yeah, this the real one, baby
                Bm7         Bbm7  Am7
I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down

 Uh, Chi-Town, stand up!
            Bm7         Bbm7  Am7
Oh, when it all, it all falls down

 Southside, Southside

 We gon' set this party off right
                Bm7         Bbm7  Am7
I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down

 Westside, Westside

 We gon' set this party off right
            Bm7
Oh, when it all

[Primeira Parte]

      Bm7               Bbm7 Am7
Man I promise, she's so self-conscious

She has no idea what she doin' in college
     Bm7                                 Bbm7 Am7
That major that she majored in don't make no money

But she won't drop out, her parents'll look at her funny
Bm7                       Bbm7 Am7
Now, tell me that ain't insecurr

The concept of school seems so securr
     Bm7                      Bbm7     Am7
Sophomore, three yurrs, ain't picked a carurr

She like, "Fuck it, I'll just stay down hurr and do hair"
       Bm7                             Bbm7 Am7
'Cause that's enough money to buy her a few pairs

Of new Airs, 'cause her baby daddy don't really care
      Bm7                      Bbm7 Am7
She's so precious with the peer pressure

Couldn't afford a car, so she named her daughter Alexis
        Bm7                         Bbm7 Am7
She had hair so long that it looked like weave

Then she cut it all off, now she look like Eve
           Bm7                                  Bbm7 Am7
And she be dealin' with some issues that you can't believe

Single black female addicted to retail, and well

[Refrão]

            Bm7         Bbm7  Am7
Oh, when it all, it all falls down

 And when it falls down, who you gon' call now?
                Bm7         Bbm7  Am7
I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down

 C'mon, c'mon, and when it falls down
            Bm7
Oh, when it all

[Segunda Parte]

       Bm7             Bbm7 Am7
Man, I promise, I'm so self-conscious

That's why you always see me with at least one of my watches
Bm7                           Bbm7 Am7
Rollie's and Pasha's done drove me crazy

I can't even pronounce nothin', pass that Ver-say-see!
Bm7                            Bbm7 Am7
Then I spent four hundred bucks on this

Just to be like, "Nigga, you ain't up on this"
      Bm7                     Bbm7 Am7
And I can't even go to the grocery store

Without some Ones that's clean and a shirt with a team
   Bm7                    Bbm7 Am7
It seem we livin' the American Dream

But the people highest up got the lowest self-esteem
    Bm7                        Bbm7 Am7
The prettiest people do the ugliest things

For the road to riches and diamond rings
   Bm7                                Bbm7       Am7
We shine because they hate us, floss 'cause they degrade us

We tryna buy back our 40 acres
    Bm7                          Bbm7  Am7
And for that paper, look how low we'll stoop

Even if you in a Benz, you still a nigga in a coupe

[Refrão]
            Bm7         Bbm7  Am7
Oh, when it all, it all falls down

 Come on, come on
                Bm7         Bbm7  Am7
I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down

 And when it falls down, who you gon' call now?
            Bm7         Bbm7  Am7
Oh, when it all, it all falls down

 Come on, come on
                Bm7         Bbm7  Am7
I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down

 And when it all falls down

[Terceira Parte]

        Bm7                          Bbm7    Am7
I say, "Fuck the police," that's how I treat 'em

We buy our way out of jail, but we can't buy freedom
      Bm7                                Bbm7   Am7
We'll buy a lot of clothes, but we don't really need 'em

Things we buy to cover up what's inside
            Bm7                           Bbm7 Am7
'Cause they made us hate ourself and love they wealth

That's why shorty's hollerin', "Where the ballers at?"
     Bm7                         Bbm7 Am7
Drug dealer buy Jordan, crackhead buy crack

And the white man get paid off of all of that
            Bm7                  Bbm7 Am7
But I ain't even gon' act holier than thou

'Cause fuck it, I went to Jacob with 25 thou
Bm7                             Bbm7 Am7
Before I had a house and I'd do it again

‘Cause I wanna be on 106 & Park, pushin' a Benz
          Bm7                      Bbm7   Am7
I want to act ballerific like it's all terrific

I got a couple past-due bills, I won't get specific
        Bm7                          Bbm7  Am7
I got a problem with spendin' before I get it

We all self-conscious, I'm just the first to admit it

[Refrão]

            Bm7         Bbm7  Am7
Oh, when it all, it all falls down

 C'mon, c'mon

And when it falls down, who you gon' call now?
                Bm7         Bbm7  Am7
I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down

 C'mon c'mon, and when it falls down
            Bm7         Bbm7  Am7
Oh, when it all, it all falls down

 Southside, Southside

We gon' set this party off right
                Bm7         Bbm7  Am7
I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down

 Westside, Westside

We gon' set this party off right
           Bm7         Bbm7  Am7
Oh when it all, it all falls down

Chi-Town, Chi-Town

We gon' show 'em how we get down
                Bm7         Bbm7  Am7
I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down

 Now, Syleena, you just like a safe belt

You saved my life

 C'mon
           Bm7         Bbm7  Am7
Oh when it all, it all falls down
                Bm7         Bbm7  Am7
I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down
