Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everything is everything, y'all
Feel like clapping your hands and tapping your feet
Shoutin', go 'head
We gon' break it down into four movements, y'all
First movement, first movement, first movement
[Verse 2]
Second movement, y'all
From Washington DC on guitar
In my right corner
Mike Howard
You got it, Mike
Mike Howard, y'all, Mike Howard
[Verse 3]
The third movement, y'all
The third movement
From Fort Worth, Texas
By way of New York, or vice versa
Vice Versa, Cornell Dupree
I want to get into the feeling this evening
Cornell Dupree, y'all
[Verse 4]
Huh? The last movement
From Salemburg, North Carolina
On bass, the baddest bass player in the country
Willie Weeks, y'all
We want y'all to feel it this evening
I feel pretty good, y'all
Willie Weeks
Everything is everything, yeah
Everything is everything, yeah
