With its vivid language, Everything Is Everything shines through the track-list of Lauryn Hill's acclaimed "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" debut album, the one that brought Lauryn the well deserved high level of recognition that she needed to firmly supplant her name in the realm of being one of hip-hop's best, and brightest. No surprise she was nominated ten times at the Grammy's ceremony, becoming the first female to be nominated that many times in one year. Winning five awards, she set a record in the industry, being the first woman to win that many in one night. The music video was directed by Sanji, who was helmed critically acclaimed by the ground-breaking special effects by Method Studios featuring on this remarkable piece of visual artwork. Everything is everything What is meant to be, will be After winter, must come spring Change, it comes eventually [2x] 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 DISCLAIMER: I do not own the rights of this music video.
