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
