Lost One(Remix)...Lauryn Hill
Lauryn:
It's funny how money changes the situation
Miscommunication changes to complication
My emancipation don't fit your eqaution
I was on the humble, you- on every station
Some want play young lauryn like she dumb
But remember not a game grew under the sun
Everything you did has already been done
I know all the tricks from bricks to Kingston
My ting done your kingdom want to 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 seperation
Tarnish my image in your conversation
Who you gonna scrimmage, like you the champion
You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one
Like you the champion
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
Trying to grab hold of what you can't control
Now your'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 you need him 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 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 you don't wanna hear my opinion
But there come many paths and you must choose one
And if you don't change than the rain soo 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
Like you the champion
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 until 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
