Lost Ones
It's funny how money change a situation
Miscommunation 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 non violent
But if a thing test me
Run for me gun
Can't take a threat to me newborn son
L been this way since creation
A groupie call
You fall from temptation
Now you wanna ball over seperation
Tarnish my image in your conversation
Who you gone 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 he 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 want to hear my opinion
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 lose one
Now don't 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 people back that long
The chain of Satan 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 might 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's 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's 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 bum, bum
