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 

(Chorus) 
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 

(chorus) 

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 

(chorus) 

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)
