Bilal - All Matter Lyrics






We're all the same
And all so very different
Divine by design
It all intertwines

Ain't nothin' new
But it's always changin'
Movin' still waters
Soft yet so hard

So what is love?
(What is it?)
What is love?
(What is it?)

Cool on the outside
Hot in the middle
Cool on the outside
Hot in the middle but

You ain't even gotta try
All you gotta do is realize
You ain't even gotta try
All you gotta do is realize
(It's all matter)

One great big small thing
Like humming in the spring breeze
A speck of dust
In this vast universe
It's just like a raindrop
In the sea of consciousness

Oh, it's all matter
It's all matter

So what is love?
(What is it?)
What is love?
(What is it?)

Cool on the outside
Hot in the middle
Cool on the outside
Hot in the middle but

You ain't even gotta try
All you gotta do is realize
You ain't even gotta try
All you gotta do is realize

It's all matter
It's all matter
It's all matter
It's all matter
(You ain't gotta try)

It's everything it ought to be
It's everything it needs to be, okay
Don't stand in the way
You'll only make it hard

Just keep it flowing
Flow with the ocean
And you'll be
Just where you should be

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keep going, just keep going
Keep going just keep going so

So what is love?
(What is it?)
So what is love?
(What is it?)

Cool on the outside
Hot in the middle
Cool on the outside
Hot in the middle

Oh, what is love?
(What is it?)
What is love, love?
(What is it?)

Cool on the outside
Hot in the middle
Cool on the outside
Hot in the middle but

You ain't even gotta try
All you gotta do is realize
You ain't even gotta try
All you gotta do is realize

You ain't even gotta try
All you gotta do is realize
You ain't even gotta try
All you gotta do is realize

It's all matter
It's all matter
It's all matter
...

Bilal All Matter Comments
  1. e.... ....

    Just heard the Robert Glasper version for the first time. And my conclusion is that the people commenting that the Robert Glasper version is better just like Robert Glasper.

  2. D.... ....

    2019 baby!

  3. S.... J....

    Only 5 stars this is some classic shizzle

  4. F.... m....

    this song is noice

  5. Y.... D....

    Ain't Nothing Knew 👀

  6. B.... D....

    This song and album is a hit but not enough exposure

  7. R.... O....

    Oh my!!! ♫♪
    With all pleasure, I will support GOOD MUSIC!!!
    Thank you sooooo much. ♥

  8. H.... P....

    eye love it

  9. D.... C....

    Love his talent.

  10. M.... ....

    this album gets 5 stars. absolute classic. Bilal is and will always be one of the greatest artist of our time.

  11. R.... ....

    This hurts my ears, he can't sing and the music is not happening.... His poetry is cool tho. Y'all been listening to crap all these years and when somebody comes along that writes his own music and sings without autotune and plays real instruments y'all take that as being great. This is just noise...Good black music is underground and hard to find, but this is not it....

    R.... ....

    Wow! Bilal is very eccentric and I feel as if his music is a reflection of his personality. He also takes risk and he is capable of singing in many genres. He can sing and he is underground. But hey it's not for everyone but Bilal is dope

    R.... ....

    If you say so, if his music is a refection of his personality, I don't like his personality, but thats just me, I like singers who can really sing. But I like Hendrix and he couldn't sing so I digress. Check out that legendary brother from England (legendary over there) his name is Omar.....

    R.... ....

    I so STRONGLY disagree with you but to each his own. Bilal is a great artist and singer. One of the best today. That's just my opinion though....you know what they say about people's opinions...lol

    R.... ....

    He CAN sing. Have you heard him live? Please respond because your statement is disgusting there.. your sounding VERY confused @ROOK30

    R.... ....

    @ROOK30 you need new ears

  12. A.... S....

    Intense.

  13. A.... ....

    Be jamming

  14. M.... B....

    this is one of my FAVORITE SONGS <3 .........One of my favorite artist !

  15. t.... ....

    This is Grammy worthy. Why brothers like bill can't get Grammys tho is because it's not controlled buy real artist who respect art at its root. I it's controlled buy the white artist hype man. Oh well just reminds us of the world we live in. Hard work!

  16. J.... ....

    I can't believe people are frontin' on this original version, though.  smh.

  17. m.... ....

    love this original version of All Matter...

  18. T.... P....

    Why is it so hard to find a download for this album. AIRTIGHT for real

  19. M.... G....

    Great song but check the Robert Glasper version too - immense

    M.... G....

    This ones better tho right?

  20. F.... C....

    i love him.. and this song is dopeness at its best..

  21. k.... ....

    This man is the REASON I stood in the mud, and rain and heat at Merriweather!

  22. L.... C....

    You're not alone. I don't get it either. I NEED to see him live.

    L.... C....

    Lydia C omg...he is magnificent live!

  23. T.... M....

    I so LOVE this dude and HE don't even know IT...... Wen to see him in THE BULL CITY. HE was GREAT! I wish he hadv'e performed this track, BUT he was there to promote his NEW ALBUM: LOVE SURREAL.

  24. G.... P....

    you ain't even got to try all you've got to do is realise

  25. D.... C....

    ..... I prefer bilal and robert glaspers version better... this is quite canned. It's cool... and commercially "quirky"...However, in my opinion, His voice, the lyrics, the melody communicate the songs meaning much more clearly and intensly in the other version. This isn't bad... just not, quite right to me.

  26. N.... ....

    defiantly!!!!!! but this sounds good as well just not as good

  27. o.... ....

    the glasper version sounds sooo much better. This sounds noisy.

  28. z.... ....

    divine by design!

  29. j.... ....

    I'm telling you...the industry is sleeping on him right now. all these other singer "act" soul but when you see Bilal Oliver LIVE he is the definition of genuine soul,feel, and passion. it's all so natural that it takes you off your seat at the COMPUTER.

  30. b.... ....

    this sh*t is tuff. Listen to it for a day or two

  31. E.... N....

    Bilal's lyrics are coming from a place so deep and magical, you would almost think he isn't from our universe. Blessed for real!My absolute favorite track!

  32. W.... ....

    Met this Bro lastnite N the Chi, at the Robert Glasper Show*!! Super Nice!! 1.

  36. A.... ....

  40. T.... ....

  41. j.... ....

    most the tracks on this album are medicine for broken hearts.

  42. t.... ....

  43. f.... h....

    @orgnice yeah.... lol you're right bro... no need mentioning... the kid step out his light radius on that... I wish kids were a little more aware on things like that.... keep posting your science... isnt he even dressed how Malcom was?

  44. k.... ....

    I got the blessing and opportunity to see and hear him perform this song love at SOB's in NYC a couple of weeks ago and when I say magnificent.... mmm

  45. A.... A....

    @djsnakeyes i thought i understood can you break it down for me

  46. T.... H....

    I'm glad u broke it down about the album cover. I am old enuf to remember the original but I didn't tie it all together...genius

  47. d.... ....

    One of the most underrated brothers in the game.

  48. K.... D....

    And thanks for the shout-out re the live gig at the Jazz Cafe, just bought tickets!

  49. K.... D....

    Fantastic, love the song!

  50. d.... ....

    This is my joint right here. People tired of hearing me sing this tune but I can't help because it's just that good.

  51. o.... ....

    @Snoogdoogler what are you like 15? Why dont you do a little research before you answer some shit you dont know BTW the question was rhetorical because I know Bilal and it's exactly what i said it was SMH

  52. o.... ....

    the significance is that this album replicates another album cover by Krs One called By All Means Necessary where he is holding an Uzi and looking out the peering out a window. That album cover was a copy of Malcom X's By Any Means Necessary speech and album cover where he is holding a rifle and looking out a window in the same fashion. The greater significance in my estimation is that the guns have been replaced by a mic which shows the understanding that Music Is the weapon of the future....

  53. K.... A....

    You ain't even gotta try, all you gotta do is realize!!!

  54. K.... A....

    This song is DOPE!!!

  55. o.... ....

    Hope yall recognize the significance of this album cover

  62. D.... A....

    I saw him live in NY at the album release party... He seriously had everyone in the place moving their heads. This was one of the new songs he performed.
