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

You might win some, but you just lost one
