Artist:  Lauryn Hill

Lost One's

It's funny how money change a situation
Miscommunication lead 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 done
But remember, not a game new under the sun
Everything you did has already been done
I know all the tricks from Brigs' to Kingston
Biting done made you kingdom wan' run
Now understand L-Boogie non-violent
But if a thing test me, run for me gun
Kyaan  take a threat to me new-born son
L been this way since creation
A groupie car, you far from temptation
Now you wan' buy low for separation
Tarnish my image in the 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
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 tongue turn cold
Gain the whole world for the price of your soul
Tryin' to grab hold of what you can't control
Now you wan' floss? What a sight to behold
Wisdom is better than silver and gold
I was hopeless now I'm all home grown
Every man wan' act like he's exempt
Need to get down on his knees and repent
Kyaan slick talk on the day of judgment
The movement similar to a serpent
Tried to play straight, had yo' whole style bent
Consequence is no coincidence
Hypocrites always wanna play in the sand
Always wanna take it to the full out extent
Always wanna make it seem like good intent
Never wanna face it when it time for punishment
I know you don't wanna hear my opinion
There come many paths and you must choose one
And if you don't change and 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'd undone, it's so silly how come
You just lost one

Now don't you understand man universal law?
What you throw out come back 'till you starve
Never under estimate those who you scar
Cause, karma karma karma come back to you hard
You kyaan hold God people back that long
The chain of Shey Town wasn't made that strong
Tryin' to pretend like your work is your bomb
But until you do right, all ya do is go wrong
Now some might mistake this for just a simple song
And some don't know what they have till it's gone
Now even when you gone you can still be reborn
And from the night can arrive the sweet dawn
Now some might listen and some might shine
And some may think that they be perfection
If you look closely you'll see what you 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'd undone, 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'd undone, 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's a bum-bum??
