The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill |
|
Everything is everything |
|
What is meant to be, will be |
|
After winter, must come spring |
|
Change, it comes eventually |
|
Everything is everything |
|
What is meant to be, will be |
|
After winter, must come spring |
|
Change, it comes eventually |
|
I wrote these words for everyone |
|
Who struggles in their youth |
|
Who won't accept deception |
|
Instead of what is truth |
|
It seems we lose the game, |
|
Before we even start to play |
|
Who made these rules? We're so confused |
|
Easily led astray |
|
Let me tell ya that |
|
Everything is everything |
|
Everything is everything |
|
After winter, must come spring |
|
Everything is everything |
|
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 |
|
Flippin' in the ghetto on a dirty mattress |
|
You can't match this rapper / 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 |
|
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 |
|
After winter, must come spring |
|
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 |
|
So convinced that they might fall |
|
Let's love ourselves then we can't fail |
|
To make a better situation |
|
Tomorrow, our seeds will grow |
|
All we need is dedication |
|
Let me tell ya that, |
|
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 |
