(Yo, uh! We ‘bout to set everything right) (Hehe) (Yo!)

          Am
Everything (Everything) is everything (is everything)
                  E
What is meant to be, will be (What? Huh)
         Am
After winter (After winter), must come spring (must come)
                          E
Change, it comes eventually (Yo, hu-huh)

                   Am
I wrote these words   for everyone
                            E
Who struggles in their youth (Wrote this one for the youth, huh!)
                Am
Who won't accept deceptionin’
                        E
Instead of what is truth (You got to notice you, ya’ll)
                      Am                           E
*It seems we lose the game before we even start to play (nah that game, no)
                      Am
Who made these rules?   We're so confused
               E
Easily led astray -Let me tell ya that

                      Am
Everything is everything (Everything is everything)
                     E
Everything is everything (Everything)
                                      Am
After winter (After winter) must come spring (this all gon’ change y’all)
                     E
Everything is everything
                                                        Am
(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
My practice extending across the atlas -I begat this
                                          Am
Flippin' in the ghetto on a dirty mattress
You can't match this rapper / actress, more powerful than two Cleopatras
E
Bomb graffiti on the tomb of Nefertiti
                                          Am
MCs ain't ready to take it to the Serengeti
My rhymes is heavy like the mind of Sister Betty
                                             E
L. Boogie spars with stars and constellations
Then came down for a little conversation
                                          Am
Adjacent to the king, fear no human being
Roll with cherubims to Nassau Coliseum
                                           E
Now hear this mixture where hip hop meets scripture
Develop a negative into a positive picture –Now

          Am
Everything (Everything y’all) is everything (everything y’all)
                  E
What is meant to be, will be (What is meant to be will be)
                        Am
After winter (After winter) must come spring (must come spring)
                          E
Change, it comes eventually (Change comes eventually)

                   Am
Sometimes it seems    we'll touch that dream (touch that dream)
                                  E
But things come slow or not at all (They come slow y’all know what I mean)
                   Am
And the ones on top   won't make it stop (They won't make it stop)
                                E
So convinced that they might fall (To everybody y’all)
                           Am                                 E
*Let's love ourselves then we can't fail to make a better situation
         Am
Tomorrow   our seeds will grow
                    E
All we need is dedication -Let me tell ya that

                      Am
Everything is everything (Everything is everything)
                     E
Everything is everything (Everything is everything)
          Am
After winter (After winter) must come spring (next is spring)
                          E
Change, it comes eventually (Change comes eventually)

         Am                              E
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)
