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 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
