Lauryn Hill - Everything Is Everything lyrics

rate me

Everything is everything

What is meant to be, will be

After winter, must come spring

Change, it comes eventually

<i>[2x]</i>

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

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

Flippin' in the ghetto on a dirty mattress

You can't match this rapper / 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

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
