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)] |

|
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 |
