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
