This is one of my favorite Kanye songs. It comes from his first album The College Dropout which was back in the days when he was talking about things.
In the second verse he talks about being self-conscious and trying to stunt when you really don't have the means to do it.
I think stunting can mean more than just in reference to material things like buying that new Louis Vuitton or putting 22s on your truck. Sometimes we stunt with our feelings. We pretend we're something we're not on the emotional side and when it hits that it's not really you you're pretending to be or you get in over your head it all falls down on you. I think he poses a good question in the chorus...
When it falls down who you gon' call now?
