Lost Ones - Lauryn Hill
It's funny how money
change a situation
Miscommunication leads to
complication
My emancipation don't fit
your equation
I was on the humble
you on every station
Some wan' play young Lauryn
like she dumb
But remember not
a game new under the sun
Everything you did has
already been done
I know all the tricks from
Bricks to Kingston
My ting done made your
kingdom wan' run
Now understand
L Boogie's non violent
But if a thing test me
run for mi gun
Can't take a threat to
mi newborn son
L's been this way since creation
A groupie call
you fall from temptation
Now you wanna ball over separation
Tarnish my image
in your conversation
Who you gon' 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
You might win some
but you just lost one
You might win some
but you just lost one
Now now how come your talk turn cold
Gained the whole world
for the price of your soul
Tryin' to grab hold of
what you can't control
Now you're all floss
what a sight to behold
Wisdom is better than
silver and gold
I was hopeless now
I'm on Hope road
Every man want to act
like he's exempt
When him need to get
down on his knees and repent
Can't slick talk on the day
of judgement
Your movement's similar
to a serpent
Tried to play straight
how your whole style bent
Consequence is no coincidence
Hypocrites always want
to play innocent
Always want to take it to the
full out extent
Always want to make it seem
like good intent
Never want to face it
when it's time for punishment
I know you don't wanna hear
my opinion
But there come many paths
and you must choose one
And if you don't change
then the rain soon come
See 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 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
You just lost one
Now don't you understand man
universal law
What you throw out
comes back to you star
Never underestimate those
who you scar
Cause karma karma
karma comes back to you hard
You can't hold God's people
back that long
The chain of Shatan
wasn't made that strong
Trying to pretend like your word
is your bond
But until you do right
all you do will go wrong
Now some might mistake
this for just a simple song
And some don't know
what they have 'til 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've reached perfection
If you look closely you'll
see what you've 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
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 so silly how come
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 so silly how come
You just lost one You just lost one
You just lost one You just lost one
You just lost one You just lost one
You just lost one You just lost one
What a bam bam
