Lyrics
Yeah, this one hot lava
Yeah, yo, get the commissioner on the phone
Tell Guevera line up the revolutionaries yo
Yeah, ah
It's funny how money change a situation
Miscommunication lead to complication
My emancipation don't fit your equation
I was on the humble, you on every station
Some want 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 wan' run
Now understand L. Boogie non-violent
But if a thing test me, run fi mi gun
Cyaan take a threat to mi newborn son
L been this way since creation
A groupie call, you far from temptation
Now you wan' bawl over seperation
Tarnish my image in the 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
(One, one, one) like you the champion
You might win some, but you just lost one
Yaw, who's the youngin' gun?
Now, now, how come your talk turned cold?
Gain the whole world for the price of your soul
Tryin' to grab hold of what you can't control
Now you 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 wanna act like he's exempt
When they need to get down on his knees and repent
Cyaan slick-talk on the day of judgment
Your movement's similar to a serpent
Tried to play me straight, how your whole style bent?
Consequence is no coincidence
Hypocrites always wanna 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 time for punishment
I know you don't want to hear my opinion
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
Like you the champion (I know what you said)
Justice soon come
(Like you the champion)
Che Gueveta on the run
On a mission, I got your gun
(Bible burn) Jayson
Yo
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 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 it right, all you do will go wrong
Now, some might mistake this just 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
How you gon' come on down with no gun?
Yeah, we watchin' too
Yeah, zi, zi-za-za-za, Zion
Justice soon come (Zion)
This is just for fun
Roll on, number one
Ah, soon come (the commissioner)
Che Guevera (wadup Oz?)
Jayson (take it to the Cuba) ya (tired of all of y'all) nah mean?
(Take it to the Cuba) then we come back to New York
Stop in New Jersey
All them season world beat can roll with us
They can roll, they can roll, they can roll (they can go too)
