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 gotta know the truth y’all
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 word
rap this in fine linen from the beginning word
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 ooh uh
mcs ain’t ready to take it to the serengeti
my rhymes is heavy like the mind of sister betty el shabazz
lboogie spars with stars and constellations what
then came down for a little conversation huh
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
after winter must come spring after winter must come spring
change it comes eventually change it comes eventually
sometimes it seems we’ll touch that dream sometimes it seems we’ll touch that dream
but things come slow or not at all they come slow know what i mean
and the ones on top won’t make it stop ones on top 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 uhuh
tomorrow our seeds will grow 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
