OOH OOH OOH OOH

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
DECEPTIONIN'
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
EVERYTHING
AFTER WINTER
MUST COME SPRING
EVERYTHING
IS EVERYTHING
OUR PHILOSOPHY
POSSIBLY
SPEAK TONGUES
BEAT DRUM
ABYSSINIAN
STREET BAPTIST
WRAP THIS IN FINE LINEN
FROM THE BEGINNIN'
MY PRACTICE
EXTENDIN' ACROSS
THE ATLAS
I BEGAT THIS
FLIPPIN' 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
MC'S 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
OOH OOH OOH OOH
WHAT IS MEANT TO BE
WILL BE
AND 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
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
CHANGE
COMES EVENTUALLY
AH AH AH AH AH
LA LA LA LA LA
LA LA LA LA LA
