Everything Is Everything

Yo, uh

We 'bout to get this one right here

We 'bout to do this for all the kids

The mothers, the fathers

The brothers, the sisters

Uh

You know the record

Now I'm in this groove

Yo

Everything is everything (Everything is everything)

What is meant to be, will be (Word)

After winter, must come spring (After winter, must come spring)

Change, it comes eventually

Yeah, uh

Everything is everything (Everything y'all, everything)

What is meant to be, will be (Understand that everything is everything)

After winter, must come spring (After winter, must come)

Change, it comes eventually (It's gonna change, it's gonna change)

I wrote these words for everyone who struggles in their youth (I do this one for the youth, uh)

Who won't accept deception in... instead of what is truth (Gotta know the truth, y'all)

It seems we lose the game before we even start to play (It's not our game, uh, uh, uh)

Who made these rules? (Who made these rules?)

We're so confused, easily led astray (We're so confused)

Let me tell ya that

Everything is everything (Everything is everything)

Everything is everything (Everything)

After winter, must come spring (After winter, must come one thing, y'all)

Everything is everything (Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo)

I philosophy, possibly speak tongues

Beat drums, 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 then two Cleopatra's

Bomb graffiti on the tomb of Nefertiti

MC's ain't ready to take it to the Serengeti

My rhymes is heavy like the mind of sister Betty

L. Boogie spars with stars and constellations

Then came down for a little conversation

Adjacent to the king, fear no human being

Roll with Cherubim's to Nassau Coliseum

Now here this mixture, where hip hop meets scripture

Develop a negative into a positive picture

Now, everything is everything (Everything y'all, everything y'all)

What is meant to be, will be (What is meant to be, will be, yeah)

And after winter, must come spring (After winter, it has to come, y'all)

Change, it comes eventually (Change, it comes eventually)

Sometimes it seems, we'll touch that dream (Sometimes it seems, we'll touch that dream)

But things come slow or not at all (They come slow, know what I mean?)

And the ones on top, won't make it stop (Ones on top, won't make it stop)

So convinced that they might fall (Yup, for everybody, y'all)

Let's love ourselves and we can't fail

To make a better situation (Hey, hey, hey, much better situation, uh-uh)

Tomorrow, our seeds will grow (Tomorrow, our seeds will grow)

All we need is dedication (Yo)

Let me tell ya that (My body's pumped)

Everything is everything (Everything is everything)

Everything is everything (Everything is everything)

After winter, must come spring (After winter, must come spring)

Everything is everything (Everything is everything)

Everything is everything (Everything is everything)

What is meant to be, will be (What is meant to be, will be)

After winter, must come spring (After winter, must come spring)

Change, it comes eventually (Change, it comes eventually)

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (Everything, everything is everything)

La, la, la, la, la (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

La, la, la, la, la (La, la, listen to me)

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (Tell you friend, tell your children)

La, la, la, la, la
