Points of Authority
[Intro: Whitney]
Forfeit the game before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame and puts your name to shame
Cover up your face, you can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last

[Verse 1: Alexia]
You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life, my pride is broken

[Chorus: Alexia]
You like to think you're never wrong
You live what you've learned
You have to act like you're someone
You live what you've learned
You want someone to hurt like you
You live what you've learned
You want to share what you have been through
You live what you've learned

[Verse 2: Alexia]
You love the things I say I do
The way I hurt myself again, just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
My life, my pride is broken
[Chorus: Alexia]
You like to think you're never wrong
You live what you've learned
You have to act like you're someone
You live what you've learned
You want someone to hurt like you
You live what you've learned
You want to share what you have been through
You live what you've learned

[Bridge: Whitney]
Forfeit the game before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame and puts your name to shame
Cover up your face, you can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last
Forfeit the game before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame and puts your name to shame
Cover up your face, you can't run the race
The pace is too fast, you just won't last


[Verse 3]
R.I.P. to the radio
They don't play your hits, we don't give a shit, so
All these cats try to use my ass
Now the same damned ones give me cash for racks, fuck this
I don't know what you paint me as
Or understand that no fucks Whitney has
All these critics in my face, but the kid ain't done
Got ninety-nine problems, being a bitch ain't one, come on
[Chorus: Alexia and (Whitney)]
You like to think you're never wrong
You live what you've learned
You have to act like you're someone
You live what you've learned
You want someone to hurt like you
You live what you've learned
You want to share what you have been through
You live what you've learned
You like to think you're never wrong (Forfeit the game)
You live what you've learned
You have to act like you're someone (Forfeit the game)
You live what you've learned
You want someone to hurt like you (Forfeit the game)
You live what you've learned
You want to share what you have been through (Forfeit the game)
You live what you've learned (Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo)
