All Falls Down (Live) - John Legend (约翰·传奇)
This is a song right here
Nowadays just hear a lot of rubbers
They fur they talk about
They get more when when they get
They talk about they shut more what they shut
Be hard and in the night
I wanna be the first who wanna come up when and
When they talk about what's going on to somebody say
What's going on to young lady say
When they put on this mess everyone
When it all it all falls down
When it falls down who you gonna call now
When it all it all falls down
When it falls down who you gonna call now
When it all it all falls down
When it falls down who you gonna call now
When it all it all falls down
It's a story about this girl I know
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 insecure
The concept of school seems so secure
Sophomore three years ain't picked a career
She like f**k it I'll just stay down here 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
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
When it all it all falls down
When it falls down who you gonna call now
When it all it all falls down
I get take down my Mona just place my point
Look 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 ni**a you ain't up on this
And I can't even go to the grocery store
Without some ones that's 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 are stoop
Even if you in a Benz you still a ni**a in a coop
When it all it all falls down
When it falls down who you gonna call now
When it all it all falls down
Listen listen man
I say f**k the police that's how I treat 'em
We buy our way out of jail but we can't buy freedom
We buy a lot of clothes when we don't really need 'em
Things we buy to cover up what's inside
Cause they made us hate ourself and love they wealth
That's why shorty's hollering where the ballas' at
Drug dealer buy Jordans crackhead buy crack
And a white man get paid off of all a dat
But I ain't even gon' act holier than thou
Cause f**k 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
When it all it all falls down
When it falls down who you gonna call now
When it all it all falls down
When it falls down who you gonna call now
When it all it all falls down
When it falls down who you gonna call now
When it all it all falls down
Yeah
