LAURYN HILL – LOST ONES

Lyrics

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 thing done made your kingdom wan' run
Now understand L. Boogie's non-violent
But if a thing test me, run for me gun
Can't take a threat to me newborn son
L's 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 gon' 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 wants to act like he's exempt
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 you don't wanna 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 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 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 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
(repeat to end)

Paroles (Traduction)

C'est drôle comment l'argent change une situation
La mésentente mène à la complication
Mon émancipation ne correspond pas à ton équation
J'étais humble, toi tu étais sur toutes les stations
Certains veulent jouer avec la jeune Lauryn comme si elle était idiote
Mais rappelle-toi qu'il n'y a rien de nouveau sous le soleil
Tout ce que tu as fait a déjà été fait
Je connais tous les tours, de Bricks à Kingston
Mon truc a fait fuir ton royaume
Maintenant, comprends que L. Boogie est non-violente
Mais si quelque chose me teste, cours chercher mon arme
Je ne peux pas supporter une menace pour mon fils nouveau-né
L a été ainsi depuis la création
Une groupie appelle, tu tombes dans la tentation
Maintenant tu veux jouer au-dessus de la séparation
Ternir mon image dans ta conversation
Avec qui vas-tu te battre, comme si tu étais le champion
Tu peux en gagner quelques-uns mais tu en as juste perdu un
Tu peux en gagner quelques-uns mais tu en as juste perdu un
Tu peux en gagner quelques-uns mais tu en as juste perdu un
Tu peux en gagner quelques-uns mais tu en as juste perdu un
Tu peux en gagner quelques-uns mais tu en as juste perdu un
Maintenant, comment se fait-il que ton discours se refroidisse
Tu as gagné le monde entier au prix de ton âme
Essaye de saisir ce que tu ne peux pas contrôler
Maintenant tu es tout en apparence, quel spectacle à voir
La sagesse vaut mieux que l'argent et l'or
J'étais sans espoir, maintenant je suis sur la route de l'Espoir
Chaque homme veut agir comme s'il était exempt
Il doit s'agenouiller et se repentir
Tu ne peux pas baratiner le jour du jugement
Ton mouvement est similaire à un serpent
Tu as essayé de jouer droit, comment ton style s'est-il tordu?
La conséquence n'est pas une coïncidence
Les hypocrites veulent toujours
