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
