After winter, must come spring

Change, it comes eventually

After winter, must come spring

Change, it comes eventually

Verse 1
E E 
 
Am Am 
 
I wrote these words
E E 
 
for everyone who struggles in their youth
Am Am 
 
Who won't accept deception,
E E 
 
instead of what is truth
Am Am 
 
It seems we lose the game
E E 
 
Before we even start to play
Who made these rules?
Am Am 
 
(Who made these rules?)
We're so confused (We're so confused)
E E 
 
Easily led astray

Chorus 2
Let me tell ya that
E E 
 
Am Am 
 
Everything is everything
E E 
 
Everything is everything
Am Am 
 
After winter, must come spring
E E 
 
Everything is everything

Verse 2
E E 
 
I  philosophy
Am Am 
 
Possibly speak tongues
Beat drum, Abyssinian, street Baptist
Rap this in fine linen, from the beginning
E E 
 
My practice extending across the atlas
I begat this
Flipping in the ghetto
Am Am 
 
on a dirty mattress
You can't match this rapper slash actress
E E 
 
More powerful than two Cleopatras
Bomb graffiti on the tomb of Nefertiti
MCs ain't ready
Am Am 
 
to take it to the Serengeti
My rhymes is heavy
like the mind of sister Betty (Betty Shabazz)
E E 
 
L-Boogie spars with stars and constellations
Then came down for a little conversation
Am Am 
 
Adjacent to the king, fear no human being
Roll with cherubims to Nassau Coliseum
Now hear this mixture,
E E 
 
where Hip Hop meets scripture
Develop a negative into a positive picture

Chorus 3

Now everything is everything

What is meant to be, will be

After winter, must come spring

Change, it comes eventually

Verse 3
E E 
 
Am Am 
 
Sometimes it seems
We'll touch that dream
E E 
 
But things come slow or not at all
Am Am 
 
And the ones on top, won't make it stop
E E 
 
So convinced that they might fall
Am Am 
 
Let's love ourselves and we  can't fail
E E 
 
To make a better situation
Am6 Am6 
 
Tomorrow, our seeds will grow
E E 
 
All we need is dedication

Chorus 4
Let me tell ya that
E E 
 
Am Am 
 
Everything is everything
E E 
 
Everything is everything
Am Am 
 
After winter, must come spring
E E 
 
Everything is everything

Chorus 5

Everything is everything

What is meant to be, will be

After winter, must come spring

Change, it comes eventually
