Lauryn Hill: Lost ones

It's funny how money change a situationMiscommunication leads to complicationMy emancipation don't fit your equationI was on the humble, you - on every stationSome wan' play young Lauryn like she dumbBut remember not a game new under the sunEverything you did has already been doneI know all the tricks from Bricks to KingstonMy ting done made your kingdom wan' runNow understand L. Boogie's non violentBut if a thing test me, run for mi gunCan't take a threat to mi newborn sonL's been this way since creationA groupie call, you fall from temptationNow you wanna ball over separationTarnish my image in your conversationWho you gon' scrimmage, like you the championYou might win some but you just lost oneYou might win some but you just lost oneYou might win some but you just lost oneYou might win some but you just lost oneYou might win some but you just lost oneNow, now how come your talk turn coldGained the whole world for the price of your soulTryin' to grab hold of what you can't controlNow you're all floss, what a sight to beholdWisdom is better than silver and goldI was hopeless now I'm on Hope roadEvery man want to act like he's exemptWhen him need to get down on his knees and repentCan't slick talk on the day of judgementYour movement's similar to a serpentTried to play straight, how your whole style bent?Consequence is no coincidenceHypocrites always want to play innocentAlways want to take it to the full out extentAlways want to make it seem like good intentNever want to face it when it's time for punishmentI know that you don't wanna hear my opinionBut there come many paths and you must choose oneAnd if you don't change then the rain soon comeSee you might win some but you just lost oneYou might win some but you just lost oneYou might win some but you just lost oneYou might win some but you just lost oneYou might win some but you just lost oneYou might win some but you really lost oneYou just lost one, it's so silly how comeWhen it's all done did you really gain fromWhat you done done, it's so silly how comeYou just lost oneNow don't you understand man universal lawWhat you throw out comes back to you, starNever underestimate those who you scarCause karma, karma, karma comes back to you hardYou can't hold God's people back that longThe chain of Shatan wasn't made that strongTrying to pretend like your word is your bondBut until you do right, all you do will go wrongNow some might mistake this for just a simple songAnd some don't know what they have 'til it's goneNow even when you're gone you can still be rebornAnd, from the night can arrive the sweet dawnNow, some might listen and some might shunAnd some may think that they've reached perfectionIf you look closely you'll see what you've becomeCause you might win some but you just lost oneYou might win some but you just lost oneYou might win some but you just lost oneYou might win some but you just lost oneYou might win some but you just lost oneYou might win some but you really lost oneYou just lost one, it's so silly how comeWhen it's all done did you really gain fromWhat you done done, it so silly how come(repeat to end)
