Lyrics
0:10It's funny how money change a situation
0:13Miscommunication leads to complication
0:15My emancipation don't fit your equation
0:18I was on the humble you - on every station
0:20Some wan' play young Lauryn like she dumb
0:23But remember not a game new under the sun
0:25Everything you did has already been done
0:28I know all the tricks from Bricks to Kingston
0:30My ting done made your kingdom wan' run
0:33Now understand L Boogie's non violent
0:36But if a thing test me run for mi gun
0:38Can't take a threat to mi newborn son
0:41L's been this way since creation
0:43A groupie call you fall from temptation
0:46Now you wanna ball over separation
0:48Tarnish my image in your conversation
0:51Who you gon' scrimmage like you the champion
0:53You might win some but you just lost one
0:56You might win some but you just lost one
0:58You might win some but you just lost one
1:01You might win some but you just lost one
1:03You might win some but you just lost one
1:06Now now how come your talk turn cold
1:08Gained the whole world for the price of your soul
1:11Tryin' to grab hold of what you can't control
1:13Now you're all floss what a sight to behold
1:16Wisdom is better than silver and gold
1:18I was hopeless now I'm on Hope road
1:21Every man want to act like he's exempt
1:23When him need to get down on his knees and repent
1:26Can't slick talk on the day of judgement
1:28Your movement's similar to a serpent
1:31Tried to play straight how your whole style bent
1:34Consequence is no coincidence
1:36Hypocrites always want to play innocent
1:39Always want to take it to the full out extent
1:41Always want to make it seem like good intent
1:44Never want to face it when it's time for punishment
1:46I know that you don't wanna hear my opinion
1:49But there come many paths and you must choose one
1:51And if you don't change then the rain soon come
1:54See you might win some but you just lost one
1:56You might win some but you just lost one
1:59You might win some but you just lost one
2:01You might win some but you just lost one
2:04You might win some but you just lost one
2:06You might win some but you really lost one
2:09You just lost one it's so silly how come
2:15When it's all done did you really gain from
2:20What you done done it's so silly how come
2:25You just lost one
2:27Now don't you understand man universal law
2:29What you throw out comes back to you star
2:32Never underestimate those who you scar
2:34Cause karma karma karma comes back to you hard
2:37You can't hold God's people back that long
2:39The chain of Shatan wasn't made that strong
2:42Trying to pretend like your word is your bond
2:44But until you do right all you do will go wrong
2:47Now some might mistake this for just a simple song
2:50And some don't know what they have 'til it's gone
2:52Now even when you're gone you can still be reborn
2:55And from the night can arrive the sweet dawn
2:57Now some might listen and some might shun
2:59And some may think that they've reached perfection
3:02If you look closely you'll see what you've become
3:04Cause you might win some but you just lost one
3:07You might win some but you just lost one
3:10You might win some but you just lost one
3:12You might win some but you just lost one
3:14You might win some but you just lost one
3:17You might win some but you really lost one
3:21You just lost one it's so silly how come
3:26When it's all done did you really gain from
3:32What you done done it 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 so silly how come You just lost one You just lost one You just lost one
