Lost Ones Lyrics by Lauryn Hill

Lost Ones Lyrics

    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 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
    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
    [repeat to end]
