Everything Is Everything

Everything is everything
 What is meant to be, will be
 After winter, must come spring
 Change, it comes eventually
 Everything is everything
 What is meant to be, will be
 After winter, must come spring
 Change, it comes eventually
 I wrote these words for everyone
 Who struggles in their youth
 
 Who won't accept deception
 Instead of what is truth
 It seems we lose the game
 Before we even start to play
 Who made these rules? We're so confused
 Easily led astray
 Let me tell ya that
 Everything is everything
 Everything is everything
 After winter, must come spring
 Everything is everything
 Our 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
 Flippin' 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
 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
 Now, everything is everything
 What is meant to be, will be
 After winter, must come spring
 Change, it comes eventually
 Sometimes it seems (Sometimes it seems)
 We'll touch that dream (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 then we can't fail
 To make a better situation
 Tomorrow, our seeds will grow
 All we need is dedication
 Let me tell ya that
 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
