Lauryn Hill - Everything Is Everything Lyrics
Official




Yo, uh, we 'bout to set this one right
'Bout to do this for all the kids
The mothers, the fathers, the brothers, the sisters, uh
You know the regulars

Everything (everything) is everything (is everything)
What is meant to be, will be (what? Uh, uh)
After winter (after winter), must come spring (must come spring)
Change, it comes eventually (yo, uh-uh)

Everything (everything) is everything (is everything)
What is meant to be will be
(Understand that everything is everything)
After winter (after winter), must come spring (must come)
Change, it comes eventually (gon' change, gon' change)

I wrote these words (I wrote these words)
For everyone who struggles in their youth
('Bout to do this one for the youth, uh)
Who won't accept deception instead of what is truth
(Gotta know the truth, y'all)
It seems we lose the game
Before we even start to play
(This not our game, uh, uh-uh)
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 is everything
Everything
After winter (after winter)
Must come spring (it's all gon' change, y'all)
Everything is everything (yo)

Yo, yo-yo-yo, yo-yo-yo (uh)
Our philosophy
Possibly speak tongues
Beat drum, Abyssinian, street Baptist (uh)
Rap this in fine linen, from the beginning (what?)
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 (uh)
Mc's 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 (what?)
Then came down for a little conversation (uh)
Adjacent to the king, fear no human being
Roll with cherubims to Nassau Coliseum (what?)
Now hear this mixture, where Hip Hop meets scripture (uh)
Develop a negative into a positive picture

Now everything is everything (everything, y'all, everything, y'all)
What is meant to be will be
(What is meant to be will be, yeah)
And after winter (after the winter)
Must come spring (must come spring) (spring has to come, uh)
Change, it comes eventually (change comes eventually)

Sometimes it seems (sometimes it seems)
We'll touch that dream (we'll touch that dream)
But things come slow or not at all
(They come slow, know I mean?)
And the ones on top (ones on top)
Won't make it stop (they 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, uh-uh)
Tomorrow (tomorrow) our seeds will grow (our seeds will grow)
All we need is dedication (yo)
Let me tell ya that (everybody, uh)

Everything is everything
Everything is everything (ooh, yeah)
Everything is everything
(Everything is everything)
After winter (after winter) must come spring (must come spring)
Everything is everything
Everything is everything (let me sing)

Everything (everything) is everything (is everything)
What is meant to be will be
What is meant to be will be (we gonna rise, y'all)
After winter (after winter) must come spring (must come)
Change, it comes eventually
Change comes eventually

Everything
Everything is everything
Yeah
It's gonna be okay
Nah I mean? It's some things we gotta experience
Few things we have to go through (listen to me)
But everything is everything (tell your baby)
After winter comes the spring (tell your children)
Everything is everything
