Lauryn Hill - Everything is everything

Everything is everything

What is meant to be, will be

After winter, must come spring (must come spring)

Change, it comes eventually

Everything is everything

What is meant to be, will be

After winter, must come spring (must come)

Change, it comes eventually

I wrote these words (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 (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

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 (EL 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

Now everything is everything

What is meant to be, will be (what is meant to be)

After winter, must come spring (must come spring)

Change, it comes eventually (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

(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 (better situation)

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, (after winter) must come spring (must come)

Change, it comes eventually
