[Intro]
You might win some, but you really lost one
You just lost one, it's so silly, how come?
When it's all done, what did you really gain from?
What you done done, it's so silly, how come? You just lost one

[Verse 1]
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 Satan wasn't made that strong
Tryin' to pretend like your word is your bond
But until you do right, all you do will go wrong
Now, some might mistake this just for 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

[Hook] (x4)
You might win some, but you just lost one

[Bridge]
You might win some, but you really lost one
You just lost one, it's so silly, how come?
When it's all done, what did you really gain from?
What you done done, it's so silly, how come? You might win one

[Outro]
Yo, this is the full genius
Refugees, they're about to take you on a journey
Into the dimensions of the Book of Basement
The basements were, uh...
Hey, yo, one, two, three, the crew is called Refugees
And if they come for testin' rap stylin'
Stop the violence and just bring it on
Y-O, hey, yo, one, two, three, the crew is called Refugees
And if they come for testin' rap stylin'
Stop the violence and just bring it on, Y-O

Lauryn Hill

As one of the founding members of Fugees, Lauryn Hill has spit her truthful lyrics unlike any female rap artist in history. Being as informative as she is inspiring, Lauryn has received monumental success with her solo albums going multi-platinum.

Her classic, critically acclaimed debut album Miseducation of Lauryn Hill went outside of the box for female rappers of her kind, making listeners think about greater causes in their community and how to be a powerful female without selling yourself short. The album also proved to be a huge landmark in rap, as it combined rap, r&b and neo-soul into a unique and beautiful mixture, full of different religious stories and concepts.

Although she retired after the success of her debut, mostly due to her child, Lauryn continued to make appearances at different shows (including at a concert with Drake in 2014). Shortly after announcing her official retirement, Lauryn returned to the scene to release MTV Unplugged 2.0, a live album where she explored with folk, departing from her rap/neo-soul style. Hill is also set to perform tracks from Miseducation in 2018 on its 20th Anniversary.
