All Falls Down

[Chorus]
A#m     Am G#m
   Yeah,      this the real one, baby
   A#m              Am   G#m
Uh,   ChiTown, stand  up!
     A#m            Am
Southside, Southside
   G#m
We gon' set this party off right
    A#m           Am
Westside, Westside
   G#m
We gon' set this party off right

[Verse 1]
          A#m                Am       G#m
Man, I promise, she's so selfconscious
She has no idea what she doin' in college
     A#m                                     Am
That major that she majored in don't make no money
G#m
But she won't drop out,
her parents'll look at her funny
    A#m                       Am  G#m
Now,   tell me that ain't insecurr
The concept of school seems so securr
     A#m
Sophomore, three yurrs,
                 Am
ain't picked a carurr
    G#m
She like, "Fuck it,
I'll just stay down hurr and do hair"
       A#m                                 Am
'Cause that's enough money to buy her a few  pairs
G#m
Of new Airs,
'cause her baby daddy don't really care
     A#m                              Am
She's   so precious with the peer pressure
G#m
Couldn't afford a car,
so she named her daughter Alexis
        A#m                              Am
She had hair so long that it looked like weave
G#m
Then she cut it all off,
now she look like Eve
           A#m                                       Am
And she be dealin' with some issues that you can't believe
G#m
Single black female addicted to retail,
and well

[Chorus]
A#m  Am G#m
   Uh
And when it falls down,
who you gon' call now?
A#m          Am
   C'mon, c'mon,
G#m
   and when it all falls down

[Verse 2]
          A#m              Am       G#m
Man, I promise, I'm so selfconscious
That's why you always see me with at least one of my
watches
A#m                              Am
Rollies and Pashas done drove me crazy
G#m
I  can't even pronounce nothing,
pass that Versaysee!
A#m                                   Am  G#m
   Then I spent four hundred bucks on this
Just to be like, "Nigga,
you ain't up on this"
      A#m                          Am
And I can't even go to the grocery store
    G#m
Without some Ones that's clean and a shirt with a team
   A#m                        Am
It seem we livin' the American  Dream
G#m
But the people highest up got the lowest selfesteem
    A#m                            Am
The prettiest people do the ugliest  things
G#m
For the road to riches and diamond rings
        A#m
We shine   because they hate us,
                  Am        G#m
floss 'cause they degrade us
We tryna buy back our forty acres
    A#m
And for that paper,
                   Am     G#m
look how low we'll stoop E
ven if you in a Benz,
you still a nigga in a coupe

[Chorus]
A#m              Am G#m
   Come on, come on
And when it falls down,
who you gon' call now?
A#m              Am G#m
   Come on, come on
And when it all falls down

[Verse 3]
I say,
A#m
"Fuck the police,
               Am
" that's how I treat 'em
   G#m
We buy our way out of jail,
but we can't buy freedom
      A#m
We'll buy a lot of clothes,
                    Am
but we don't really need 'em
G#m
Things we buy to cover up what's inside
            A#m                                Am
'Cause they made us hate ourself and love they wealth
       G#m
That's why shorty's hollerin',
"Where the ballers at?"
     A#m
Drug dealer buy Jordan,
             Am
crackhead buy  crack
G#m
And the white man get paid off of all of that
            A#m                       Am
But I ain't even gon' act holier than thou
       G#m
'Cause fuck it,
I went to Jacob with twenty five thou
  A#m                               Am             G#m
Before I had a house and I'd do it again ‘Cause I
wanna be on oneosix and Park,
pushin' a Benz
          A#m                          Am
I want to act ballerific like it's all terrific
G#m
I  got a couple pastdue bills,
I won't get specific
        A#m                            Am    G#m
I got a problem with spendin' before I get it
We all selfconscious,
I'm just the first to admit it

[Chorus]
A#m          Am G#m
   C'mon, c'mon
And when it falls down,
who you gon' call now?
A#m         Am
   C'mon c'mon,
G#m
   and when it all falls down
     A#m            Am
Southside, Southside
   G#m
We gon' set this party off right
    A#m           Am
Westside, Westside
   G#m
We gon' set this party off right
   A#m          Am
ChiTown, ChiTown
   G#m
We gon' show 'em how we get down
A#m
Now, Syleena, you just like a safe belt,
Am    G#m
  you saved my life
C'mon

[Outro]
            A#m        Am    G#m
Oh when it all, it all falls down
                   A#m       Am    G#m
I'm telin' you all,   it all falls down
