It's funny how money change a situation Miscommunation 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 non violent But if a thing test me Run for me gun Can't take a threat to me newborn son L 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 gone 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 he 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 want to hear my opinion 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 lose one Now don't 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 people back that long The chain of Satan 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 might 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'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 done done 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 a bum, bum
