Kanye West sampling Lauryn Hill's hook from Mystery Of Iniquity (MTV Unplugged 2.0). Note: this would have been the original release if Kanye got permisision to use the sample, instead he got Syleena Johnson to sing Lauryn's part.
[Lauryn Hill] 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
[Kanye West] Uh, and when it falls down who you gon' call now? C'mon c'mon, and when it fall's down
[Lauryn Hill] 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)]
[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
[Lauryn Hill] Oh when it all, it all falls down I'm telling you all when it all falls down.

I know what you mean... Syleena's Johnson's version is tight. But you gotta remember that Lauryn's version was a raw, live version... extremely raw so tey at some point, she was crying on stage. Syleena's version is processed.
of course the illuminati didnt physically go kill his mom. the fame and all that did. If she were never in all this hollywood crap she wouldnt have died like that. I'd respect her death more if it wasnt in vain. But anyways. What do you think Kanye is talking about on 808s and heartbreaks? I forget the names of the songs but he's talking her death so yea wtf back to you tho boo. and also Kanye's even talked about how the fame is taking his sanity..I meant moreso the fame not the illuminati

I like this original beat and the original Sample's slight off-time.
But you gotta remember that Lauryn's version was a raw, live version... extremely raw so tey at some point, she was crying on stage.
Syleena's version is processed.
Illuminati is real, but I think most of it's power is what we give it!!
