Lost Ones Lyrics - The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill - Lauryn Hill

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 new born son 

L's been this way since creation 

A groupie call, you fall from temptation 

Now you want to 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 

You might win some but you just lost one 

Now, now how come your talk turn cold? 

Gain the whole world for the price of your soul 

Tryin' to grab hold of what you can't control 

Now you all floss, what a sight to behold 

Wisdom is better than silver and gold 

I was hopeless, now I'm more hopeful 

Every man want to act like he's exempt 

Need to get down on his knees and repent 

Can't slick talk on the day of judgment 

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 time for punishment 

I know you don't want to 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 

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 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! 

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 

What a bum-bum
