Lauryn Hill: Everything is everything

Everything is everythingWhat is meant to be, will beAfter winter, must come springChange, it comes eventually(2x)I wrote these words for everyoneWho struggles in their youthWho won`t accept deceptionInstead of what is truthIt seems we lose the game,Before we even start to playWho made these rules? We`re so confusedEasily led astrayLet me tell ya thatEverything is everythingEverything is everythingAfter winter, must come springEverything is everythingI philosophyPossibly speak tonguesBeat drum, Abyssinian, street BaptistRap this in fine linenFrom the beginningMy practice extending across the atlasI begat thisFlippin` in the ghetto on a dirty mattressYou can`t match this rapper / actressMore powerful than two CleopatrasBomb graffiti on the tomb of NefertitiMCs ain`t ready to take it to the SerengetiMy rhymes is heavy like the mind of Sister BettyL. Boogie spars with stars and constellationsThen came down for a little conversationAdjacent to the king, fear no human beingRoll with cherubims to Nassau ColiseumNow hear this mixtureWhere hip hop meets scriptureDevelop a negative into a positive pictureNow, everything is everythingWhat is meant to be, will beAfter winter, must come springChange, it comes eventuallySometimes it seemsWe`ll touch that dreamBut things come slow or not at allAnd the ones on top, won`t make it stopSo convinced that they might fallLet`s love ourselves then we can`t failTo make a better situationTomorrow, our seeds will growAll we need is dedicationLet me tell ya that,Everything is everythingEverything is everythingAfter winter, must come springEverything is everythingEverything is everythingWhat is meant to be, will beAfter winter, must come springChange, it comes eventually
