[Chorus - w/ Kanye West ad-libs] [Kanye West] Yeah, this the real one baby, Uh, Chi town stand up, South side, south side, We gon' set this party off right, West side, west side, We gon' set this party off right. [Syleena Johnson] Oh when it all, it all falls down I'm telling you all when it all falls down [2x] (Oh when it all) [Verse 1 - 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 insecure The concept of school seems so secure Sophmore three years aint picked a career She like fuck 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 (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 (w/ Kanye ad-libs)] [Kanye West] Uh, and when it falls down who you gon' call now? C'mon c'mon, and when it fall's down [Syleena Johnson] Oh when it all, it all falls down I'm telling you all when it all falls down. (Oh when it all) [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 they 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 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 a'stoop Even if you in a Benz, you still a nigga in a coupe [Chorus (w/ Kanye ad-libs)] [Kanye West] Uh, and when it falls down who you gon' call now? C'mon c'mon, and when it fall's down [Syleena Johnson] Oh when it all, it all falls down I'm telling you all when it all falls down. (Oh when it all) [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 but we don't really need em The things we buy to cover up what's inside Cause they made us hate ourself and love they wealth That's why shorties holler, "Where the ballers at?" Drug dealers buy Jordans, crackheads buy crack But the white man get paid off of all a dat 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)] [Kanye West] Uh, and when it falls down who you gon' call now? C'mon c'mon, and when it fall's down, South side, south side, We gon' set this party off right, West side, west side, We gon' set this party off right. Chi-Town, Chi-Town, We gon' show em how we get down. Hustling ain't easy, it's like a safe belt, Save my life, c'mon. [Syleena Johnson] Oh when it all, it all falls down I'm telling you all when it all falls down. If you find some error in All Falls Down Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about All Falls Down Missing the point | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/5/2008 wouldnt have much say | Reviewer: hello | 1/24/2008 i think what kanye said is quite realistic. so many people are trying to live the american dream and attend college, but does all that really matter in the end? i think it's what is going on around us that makes us think we need to go to college to suceed or anything mentioned in that song. YO | Reviewer: L.J. | 1/20/2008 You guys say the white man will alwasys rule, well i say GOD rule and he says the first shall be last and the last shall be first so were on our way! KAREEM | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/19/2008 Unlike typical rappers who put out songs with a strong base and catching lyrics so that they can just put up sales. But Kanye uses his status to touch on issues going on today which makes it alot more fun to listen too because it really gets you thinking. Rappers such nas, tupac and others are well known for that. Overall, its a great song that might be a little offensive. We need more artists like him because the stuff out there right now is no good. Say it Kanye | Reviewer: Nickas | 12/14/2007 I love this song. I'm not that way, but yes alot of fellow blacks will like to wear the best clothes or have the nicest of things because back then we couldn't (not by choice but by force). Yes. Properties were stolen, rights were taken away so now that the tables have turned and we have money we won't take it by force. Instead we will buy it back, i.e. 'our 40 acres'. Nobody is blaming the white man, but yes even today they will enslave us if the can. Thank god for education= I have emancipated myself, I'm going to great places = I'm not going back into slavery. kwlll | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/1/2007 its a great song and i saw him in concert the other day but i dont know why he has to say the white man and put every white man into that group any way its a wkd song! He is right | Reviewer: He is right | 11/29/2007 I'm white and what he says is the truth. Im not 100% sure if what he is saying is 'blame ourselfs for being the ones playing into there hands' or 'blame the whites they are running the shit' but either way he is saying that the white man will always rule. Im not being racist at all cause if i am then so is Kanye but the white men are at the top of ALL lines of authority and i cant see that changing any time soon. yeh | Reviewer: kiana | 11/22/2007 this is my favorite song by kanye juss listen to the lyrics even if it is a good beat reguardless you can still understand what he is saying listen to jesus walks that is agood song also hes not being racist hes just living in reality and speaking the truth!!! reverse rasicm | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/13/2007 reverse racism, you said it perfectly. i have to admit, i enjoy this song, and the complexity of its lyrics, but i think that blaming the "white man" is reverse racism. Its as anonymous said, "I blame the sterotypes they bought into." reverse racism. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/20/2007 thers no doubting kanyes a great artist. THE white man comment was however out of line. It's as though he summing up the prpblems of the minority but defacing another one. When the minority has enabled itself. The people in the song hes talkign about chose the lives they live and to target the white race is completly, wrong. They're acoutnable for their actions. Buying back your 40acres? how long is that shit going to be pushed. If people stopped beign so sensitive about something, that happened year and years ago, there would be much less controversy. I love this song. I dont argree with the lyrics. Blame the white man go for it. I blame the sterotypes they bought into. You chose to fit into those catagories, the caatagory doesnt choose you. I'm not white, so dont pull that you're just saying it because your causcaion non-sense.
