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)] If you find some error in All Falls Down Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about All Falls Down Shaq is rich, the White man who signs his cheque is wealthy... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/11/09 Great song anyway for it is enticing all who listen carefully to think critically. It is also proving that even mass-produced hip hop can be so much more than "bouncing cars and misogynistic lyrics in spite of the pressures of the music industry. Just for that reason alone, Kanye should be praised. After all, so many rappers with exposure could be inspired to do so instead of always giving in the easy greedy way of producing what I would call a "spoof representation of blackness on a global scale".I believe this song does not mean to offend white folks for the sake of it. But like any inconvenient truth, Kanye's line strikes where it hurts the most, right on the MONEY and the American dream! It is definitely aimed at African Americans who could actually influence society by reflecting on the way they spend their money provided they become aware of where their money goes and how the system works. Emancipation through buying power? Food for thought is always welcomed. As to those who still can't work out the line about "the white man": Shaq is rich, the White man who signs his cheque is wealthy... Check out the link below to the Chris Rock video about the difference between "wealthy" and "rich" and you will get it, I assure you, for Chris Rock really spells it out for you. Enjoy. ugghhh... | Reviewer: reginald | 6/30/09 people are so quick to play the race card. all that shows is how little people have grown. everything shouldn't automatically be racist. if its true its true. get over it please. its one three second line in a song with a deeper meaning. Seriously People | Reviewer: jus passin thru | 6/8/09 I just find it funny how almost anything can be turned into a "racial war" I mean come on this song is PHENOMENAL jus the idea that someone could have all these thoughts in their head and be able to lay it out like that is beautiful but I alos think that most of you guys are missing the point of this song your stuck on that one line about "white man get paid offa...." but that's not what the song is all about I mean look at the last line" we all self conscious I'm jus the first to admit it" that's the basic idea of the whole thing insecurities and self consciousness if we weren't so self conscious we wouldn't have to care about or skin color in fact isn't it funny how everyones caling that line racist..only beacuse your so self conscious about it...how ironic so stop basing the whole idea of this song on one simple line...newayz I love this song and its lyrics duecez btw....when will people start realizin that President Obama is half black and half white I understand that's it feels prett freakin good to say that he's an African American but he's only half so why can't everyone b happy? OUR president is half of botha us...right? racist...really? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/9/09 ok..so since when does sayin that someone gets paid off from everything racist... lets say he said the black man get paid off or the latino man...is it reallly racist and if so how If any one should b offended or ashamed it should be those who are throwin away their money an allowing the "white man to get paid offa alla dat" Dumb Person | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/11/09 "not in al cases, but generally speaking, it is true that whites tend to feel superior to blacks." Alright you have no idea what you are talking about and it is obvious. How can you possibly prove that. Oh! Thats right you can't. Maybe where you are from thats true, but to go that far is extremely offensive to people like me a white boy and many other of my kind. This kind of statement truly makes me angry. this song is one of my favorite off the album but that white man line is questionable, but fuck it is an awesome song. this song is about money. Gotta go My 2 cents | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/20/09 I love this song (for obvious reasons) I just wanted to point out that in Late Orchestration Kanye switched the "And a white man get paid off of all of that" to "And George Bush gets paid off of all of that". My point being that he doesn't want to accuse all white people for being all about the money. He's directed that line to a few. In the cd version this may just be hard to understand. Kanye style is simply to go to the extreme even though he doesn't feel this "extreme" about something, why? Well once he stated that those lines that are extreme spark the attention of the listener, and thus he can feed in more information. I have no idea if this is what kanye meant, but this is how I understand it. what? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/17/09 im pretty sure its not all white people owning these companys, airs: micheal "air" jordan's definetly making money off of that. crack: its not white peoples fault some one ddecided to cook coke with baking soda and sell it to the fiends. its just about evil people, the color of skin should have nothing to do with shit anymore. were all humans and ALL people need to stop descriminating and grow the fuck up. i dont give a fuck what you look like, skin color, sexual orientation... what ever, its who you are on the inside... good or evil. People are idiots | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/17/09 Anyone with half a brain that listens to this song knows that it nothing more than the truth. Everyone keeps talking about the line about the white man getting paid blah blah blah. think about it. the is still subtle racism in this country no matter how people try to deny it. in saying that we are tryin to by back our 40 acres, he is saying that black peolpe are trying to get what they were promised. not literally 40 acres, but equality. not in al cases, but generally speaking, it is true that whites tend to feel superior to blacks. seeing as though i live in the South. i am constantly subjected to such judgements. they may not be as overt as in the past but they are stil there. Kanye is not racist, he is a realist. He sees things how they are and if you dont understand then it doesnt apply to you. You cant put down something that you know absolutely nothing about. Black Girl From Alabama Huh.... | Reviewer: Me | 2/27/09 God is my witness what a name to put when you make yourself a prime example of an ignorant african american who just sees Barrack Obama as a black president and who is just worried about "fuck u white people we got nigga in the white house look at u we in power now". You do not know what you are talking about and you should be ashamed especially referring to him as a "nigga" its the ignorant "niggaz" that give african american people a bad name. white mans world??? Not for long! | Reviewer: god is my witness | 2/10/09 Who eva thought we will see a black president??!! Kanye speaks the whole truth n nutin but the truth but, however, whites are no longer on top, the powafulest man in the world is a black man! change has come! i guess barrack was influenced by TUPAC- CHANGES, where it was stated that america aint gunna see a black president. well tupac (RIP), u influence barrack n he's proved u wrong, not all niggaz are in a PEN!!
