[Chorus - 4x]
|
Oh when it all, it all falls down
|
I'm telling you ohh, it all falls down
|
|
[Verse - Kanye West]
|
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 fuck 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
|
|
[Chorus - repeat 2x (w/ Kanye ad-libs)]
|
|
[Verse - Kanye West]
|
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 nigga 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 nigga in a coop/coupe
|
|
[Chorus - repeat 2x (w/ Kanye ad-libs)]
|
|
[Verse - Kanye West]
|
I say fuck the police, thats how I treat em
|
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 fuck it, I went to Jacob with 25 thou
|
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
|
|
[Chorus - to fade (w/ Kanye ad-libs)]
