(Yo, uh! We 'bout to set everything right) (Hehe) (Yo!)
A minorAm
Everything (Everything) is everything (is everything)
E MajorE
What is meant to be, will be (What? Huh)
A minorAm
After winter (After winter), must come spring (must come)
E MajorE
Change, it comes eventually (Yo, hu-huh)
A minorAm
I wrote these words for everyone
E MajorE
Who struggles in their youth (Wrote this one for the youth, huh!)
A minorAm
Who won't accept deceptionin'
E MajorE
Instead of what is truth (You got to notice you, ya'll)
A minorAm E MajorE
*It seems we lose the game before we even start to play (nah that game, no)
A minorAm
Who made these rules? We're so confused
E MajorE
Easily led astray -Let me tell ya that
A minorAm
Everything is everything (Everything is everything)
E MajorE
Everything is everything (Everything)
A minorAm
After winter (After winter) must come spring (this all gon' change y'all)
E MajorE
Everything is everything
A minorAm
(Yo, yo, yo-yo-yo-yo)I philosophy, Possibly speak tongues
Beat drum, Abyssinian, street Baptist
Wrap this in fine linen from the beginning
E MajorE
My practice extending across the atlas -I begat this
A minorAm
Flippin' in the ghetto on a dirty mattress
You can't match this rapper / actress, more powerful than two Cleopatras
E MajorE
Bomb graffiti on the tomb of Nefertiti
A minorAm
MCs ain't ready to take it to the Serengeti
My rhymes is heavy like the mind of Sister Betty
E MajorE
L. Boogie spars with stars and constellations
Then came down for a little conversation
A minorAm
Adjacent to the king, fear no human being
Roll with cherubims to Nassau Coliseum
E MajorE
Now hear this mixture where hip hop meets scripture
Develop a negative into a positive picture -Now
A minorAm
Everything (Everything y'all) is everything (everything y'all)
E MajorE
What is meant to be, will be (What is meant to be will be)
A minorAm
After winter (After winter) must come spring (must come spring)
E MajorE
Change, it comes eventually (Change comes eventually)
A minorAm
Sometimes it seems we'll touch that dream (touch that dream)
E MajorE
But things come slow or not at all (They come slow y'all know what I mean)
A minorAm
And the ones on top won't make it stop (They won't make it stop)
E MajorE
So convinced that they might fall (To everybody y'all)
A minorAm E MajorE
*Let's love ourselves then we can't fail to make a better situation
A minorAm
Tomorrow our seeds will grow
E MajorE
All we need is dedication -Let me tell ya that
A minorAm
Everything is everything (Everything is everything)
E MajorE
Everything is everything (Everything is everything)
A minorAm
After winter (After winter) must come spring (next is spring)
E MajorE
Change, it comes eventually (Change comes eventually)
A minorAm E MajorE
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
(It's all about you)
(You know what I mean?)
(It's all about you)
(Listen to me)
