Everything Is Everything
Everything is everything
What is meant to be, will be
After winter, must come spring
Change, it comes eventually
(2x)
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
