Lauryn Hill - 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 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
Everything Is Everything
Everything Is Everything
Everything Is Everything
After winter
must come spring
Everything Is Everything
I philosophy Possibly
speak tongues
Beat drum
Abyssinian
street Baptist
this in fine linen
from the beginning
My practice extending
across the atlasI 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
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 Hopmeets 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
We'll touch that dream
But things come slow
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 Tomorrow
our seeds will grow
All we need is dedication
Let me tell ya that
Everything Is Everything
Everything Is Everything
Everything Is Everything
Everything Is Everything
After winter
must come spring
Everything Is Everything
Everything Is Everything
Everything Is Everything
What is meant to be
will be
After winter
must come spring
Change it comes eventually
