Bm7Bbm7Am7
Oh, when it all, it all falls down
Yeah, this the real one, baby
Bm7Bbm7Am7
I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down
Uh, Chi-Town, stand up!
Bm7Bbm7Am7
Oh, when it all, it all falls down
Southside, Southside
We gon' set this party off right
Bm7Bbm7Am7
I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down
Westside, Westside
We gon' set this party off right
Bm7
Oh, when it all
[Primera Parte]
Bm7Bbm7Am7
Man I promise, she's so self-conscious
She has no idea what she doin' in college
Bm7Bbm7Am7
That major that she majored in don't make no money
But she won't drop out, her parents'll look at her funny
Bm7Bbm7Am7
Now, tell me that ain't insecurr
The concept of school seems so securr
Bm7Bbm7Am7
Sophomore, three yurrs, ain't picked a carurr
She like, "Fuck it, I'll just stay down hurr and do hair"
Bm7Bbm7Am7
'Cause that's enough money to buy her a few pairs
Of new Airs, 'cause her baby daddy don't really care
Bm7Bbm7Am7
She's so precious with the peer pressure
Couldn't afford a car, so she named her daughter Alexis
Bm7Bbm7Am7
She had hair so long that it looked like weave
Then she cut it all off, now she look like Eve
Bm7Bbm7Am7
And she be dealin' with some issues that you can't believe
Single black female addicted to retail, and well
[Estribillo]
Bm7Bbm7Am7
Oh, when it all, it all falls down
And when it falls down, who you gon' call now?
Bm7Bbm7Am7
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]
Bm7Bbm7Am7
Man, I promise, I'm so self-conscious
That's why you always see me with at least one of my watches
Bm7Bbm7Am7
Rollie's and Pasha's done drove me crazy
I can't even pronounce nothin', pass that Ver-say-see!
Bm7Bbm7Am7
Then I spent four hundred bucks on this
Just to be like, "Nigga, you ain't up on this"
Bm7Bbm7Am7
And I can't even go to the grocery store
Without some Ones that's clean and a shirt with a team
Bm7Bbm7Am7
It seem we livin' the American Dream
But the people highest up got the lowest self-esteem
Bm7Bbm7Am7
The prettiest people do the ugliest things
For the road to riches and diamond rings
Bm7Bbm7Am7
We shine because they hate us, floss 'cause they degrade us
We tryna buy back our 40 acres
Bm7Bbm7Am7
And for that paper, look how low we'll stoop
Even if you in a Benz, you still a nigga in a coupe
[Estribillo]
Bm7Bbm7Am7
Oh, when it all, it all falls down
Come on, come on
Bm7Bbm7Am7
I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down
And when it falls down, who you gon' call now?
Bm7Bbm7Am7
Oh, when it all, it all falls down
Come on, come on
Bm7Bbm7Am7
I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down
And when it all falls down
[Terceira Parte]
Bm7Bbm7Am7
I say, "Fuck the police," that's how I treat 'em
We buy our way out of jail, but we can't buy freedom
Bm7Bbm7Am7
We'll buy a lot of clothes, but we don't really need 'em
Things we buy to cover up what's inside
Bm7Bbm7Am7
'Cause they made us hate ourself and love they wealth
That's why shorty's hollerin', "Where the ballers at?"
Bm7Bbm7Am7
Drug dealer buy Jordan, crackhead buy crack
And the white man get paid off of all of that
Bm7Bbm7Am7
But I ain't even gon' act holier than thou
'Cause fuck it, I went to Jacob with 25 thou
Bm7Bbm7Am7
Before I had a house and I'd do it again
‘Cause I wanna be on 106 & Park, pushin' a Benz
Bm7Bbm7Am7
I want to act ballerific like it's all terrific
I got a couple past-due bills, I won't get specific
Bm7Bbm7Am7
I got a problem with spendin' before I get it
We all self-conscious, I'm just the first to admit it
[Estribillo]
Bm7Bbm7Am7
Oh, when it all, it all falls down
C'mon, c'mon
And when it falls down, who you gon' call now?
Bm7Bbm7Am7
I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down
C'mon c'mon, and when it falls down
Bm7Bbm7Am7
Oh, when it all, it all falls down
Southside, Southside
We gon' set this party off right
Bm7Bbm7Am7
I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down
Westside, Westside
We gon' set this party off right
Bm7Bbm7Am7
Oh when it all, it all falls down
Chi-Town, Chi-Town
We gon' show 'em how we get down
Bm7Bbm7Am7
I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down
Now, Syleena, you just like a safe belt
You saved my life
C'mon
Bm7Bbm7Am7
Oh when it all, it all falls down
Bm7Bbm7Am7
I'm tellin' you all, it all falls down
