[Lauryn singing - Chorus]
|
Everything Is Everything
|
What is meant to be, will be
|
After winter, must come spring
|
Change, it comes eventually
|
(2x)
|
|
[Singing - Verse One]
|
I wrote these words for everyone who struggles in their youth
|
Who won't accept deception, in--instead of what is truth
|
It seems we lose the game
|
Before we even start to play
|
Who made these rules? (Who made these rules?)
|
We're so confused (We're so confused)
|
Easily led astray
|
Let me tell ya that...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Everything Is Everything
|
Everything Is Everything
|
After winter, must come spring
|
Everything Is Everything
|
|
[Rapping - Verse Two]
|
I philosophy
|
Possibly speak tongues
|
Beat drum, Abyssinian, street Baptist
|
Rap this in fine linen, from the beginning
|
My practice extending across the atlas
|
I begat this
|
Flipping in the ghetto on a dirty mattress
|
You can't match this rapper slash actress
|
More powerful than two Cleopatras
|
Bomb graffiti on the tomb of Nefertiti
|
MCs ain't ready to take it to the Serengeti
|
My rhymes is heavy like the mind of sister Betty (Betty Shabazz!)
|
L-Boogie spars with stars and constellations
|
Then came down for a little conversation
|
Adjacent to the king, fear no human being
|
Roll with cherubims to Nassau Coliseum
|
Now hear this mixture, where Hip Hop meets scripture
|
Develop a negative into a positive picture
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Now Everything Is Everything
|
What is meant to be, will be
|
After winter, must come spring
|
Change, it comes eventually
|
|
[Lauryn Singing - Verse Three]
|
|
Sometimes it seems
|
We'll touch that dream
|
But things come slow or not at all
|
And the ones on top, won't make it stop
|
So convinced that they might fall
|
Let's love ourselves and we can't fail
|
To make a better situation
|
Tomorrow, our seeds will grow
|
All we need is dedication
|
Let me tell ya that...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Everything Is Everything
|
Everything Is Everything
|
After winter, must come spring
|
Everything Is Everything
|
|
Everything Is Everything
|
What is meant to be, will be
|
After winter, must come spring
|
Change, it comes eventually
|
