Lauryn Hill , Lost Ones
It's funny how money change the situation
Miscommunication leads to complication
My emancipation don't fit your equation
I was on the humble, You on every station
Some wanna play Lauryn Like she done
But remember not to gain new under the sun
Everything you did has already been done
I know all the tricks from Bricks to Kingston
My thing done made you king Don Juan run
Now understand L-Boogie Non-violent
But if a thing test me run to make none
Can't take a threat to my new-born son
L been this way since creation
A groupie car you'll far from temptation
Now you wanna lie off of separation
Tarnish my image in the conversation
Who you gonna scrimmage, like you the champion?
You might win some, but you just lost one
You might win some, but you just lost one
You might win some, but you just lost one
Now, now how come your tongue turn cold
Gain the whole world for the price of your soul
Trying to grab hold of what you can't control
Now you won't floss what a sight to behold
Wisdom is better than silver and gold
I was hopeless now I'm all hopeful
Every man wanna act like he's exempt
Need to get down on his knees and repent
Can't slip talk on the day of judgement
The movement similar to a serpent
Tried to play straight, how you whole style bent
Consequence is no coincidence
Hypocrites always want to play innocent
Always wanna take it the full out extent
Always wanna make it seem like good intent
Never wanna face it, when it time for punishment
I know you don't wanna hear my opinion
There come many paths and you must choose one
And if you don't change then the rain soon comes
So you might win some, but you just lost one
You might win some, but you just lost one
You might win some, but you just lost one
You might win some, but you really lost one
You just lost one, it's so silly how come??
When it's all done, did you really gain from?
What you done, done it's so silly how come?
Now don't you understand man universal law
What you throw out, come back till you soar
Never underestimate those who you scar
'Cause karma karma karma come back till you hoar
You can't hold back people back that long
The chain of shaton wasn't made that strong
Tryin' to pretend like your word is your bomb
But until you do it right all you do will go wrong
Some might mistake this for just a simple song
And some don't know what they have till it's gone
Now even when you're gone you can still be reborn
And from the night can arrive the sweet dawn
Now some might listen and some might shun
And some may think that they breach from the sun
If you look closely, you'll see what you become
'Cause you might win some, but you just lost one
You might win some, but you just lost one
