Lauryn Hill - Lost Ones

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 tinge done made your kingdom want run.
Now understand L. Boogie's non violent,
But if a thing test me, run for my 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 [4x]

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 that 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 [4x]

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 [4x]

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.
