"Lost Ones" lyrics
(originally by Lauryn Hill)
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, what a bum-bum
You might win some, but what a bum-bum
It's funny how the money change a situation
Miscommunication leads to complication
My emancipation don't fit your equation
I was on the humble, each and every station
Someone playing 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 thing done made your kingdom want run
Now understand this boogie's not violent
But if you think you run from my gun
Can't take a threat to me newborn son
L has been this way since creation
A groupie call you fall from temptation
Now you wanna ball over separation
Tarnishing my image in your 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
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, what a bum-bum
You might win some, but what a bum-bum
No, no, how come your talk turn cold?
Gained the whole world for the price of your soul
Tried to grab a 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 a 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, or your whole style bent?
Consequence is not coincidence
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, what a bum-bum
You might win some, what a bum-bum
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, what a bum-bum
You might win some, but what a bum, bum, bum, bum
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, what a bum-bum
You might win some, but what a bum-bum
It's funny how the money change a situation
Miscommunication leads to complication
My emancipation don't fit your equation
I was on the humble, each and every station
Someone playing 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 thing done made your kingdom want run
Now understand this boogie's not violent
But if you think you run from my gun
Can't take a threat to me newborn son
L has been this way since creation
A groupie call you fall from temptation
Now you wanna ball over separation
Tarnishing my image in your 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
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, what a bum-bum
You might win some, but what a bum-bum
No, no, how come your talk turn cold?
Gained the whole world for the price of your soul
Tried to grab a 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 a 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, or your whole style bent?
Consequence is not coincidence
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, what a bum-bum
You might win some, what a bum-bum
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, but you really lost one
You might win some, what a bum-bum
You might win some, but what a bum, bum, bum, bum
