Itâs funny how money change a situation
Miscommunication leads to complication
My emancipation donât fit your equation
I was on the humble, youâon every station
Some wanâ 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 wanâ run
Now understand L. Boogieâs non-violent
But if a thing test me, run for mi gun
Canât take a threat to my new born son
Lâs been this way since creation
A groupie call, you fall from temptation
Now you wanna ball over separation
Tarnish my image in your conversation
Who you gonâ scrimmage, like you the champion
You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but youâre just lost one
Now, now how come your talk turn cold
Gain the whole world for the price of your soul
Tryinâ to grab hold of what you canât control
Now youâre all floss, what a sight to behold
Wisdom is better than silver and gold
I was hopeless now Iâm on Hope road
Every man want to act like heâs exempt
When him need to get down on his knees and repent
Canât slick talk on the day of judgement
Your movementâs similar to a serpent
Tried to play straight, how your whole style bent?
Consequence is no coincidence
Hypocrites always want to play innocents
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 itâs time for punishment
I know that you donât wanna hear my opinion
But there come many paths and you must choose one
And if you donât change then the rain soon come
See you might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but youâre just lost one
You might win some but you really lost one
You just lost one, itâs so silly how come
When itâs all done did you really gain from
What you done done, itâs so silly how come
Now donât you understand man universal law
What you throw out comes back to you, star
Never underestimate those who you scar
Cause karma, karma comes back to you hard
You canât hold Godâs people back that long
The chain of Shatan wasnât made that strong
Trying to pretend that 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 donât know what they have âtil itâs gone
Now even when youâre 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 theyâve reached perfection
If you look closely youâll see what youâve become
Cause you might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but youâre just lost one
You might win some but you really lost one
You just lost one, itâs so silly how come
When itâs all done did you really gain from
What you done done, it so silly how come
