  13. “Everything is Everything” I philosophyPossibly speak tonguesBeat drum, Abyssinian, street BaptistRap this in fine linen, from the beginningMy practice extending across the atlasI begat thisFlipping in the ghetto on a dirty mattressYou can't match this rapper slash actressMore powerful than two CleopatrasBomb graffiti on the tomb of NefertitiMCs ain't ready to take it to the SerengetiMy rhymes is heavy like the mind of sisterBetty L-Boogie spars with stars and constellationsThen came down for a little conversationAdjacent to the king, fear no human beingRoll with cherubims to Nassau ColiseumNow hear this mixture, where Hip Hop meets scriptureDevelop a negative into a positive picture

  14. “Everything is Everything” [Verse 3]Sometimes it seemsWe'll touch that dreamBut things come slow or not at allAnd the ones on top, won't make it stopSo convinced that they might fallLet's love ourselves and we can't failTo make a better situationTomorrow, our seeds will growAll we need is dedicationLet me tell ya that
