lyrics

Authorized to Win

Lyrics by Samuel Nash
Music by Fabien Préaux

VERSE
The reason that he left home remains
Classified
Classes fly
Business class for jackets and dapper tie

Assets high in the portfolio
As goalies go
A save can be valuable when the goalie and the goal need growth

Clash with why, if you and you need to
The I and I see you like eye and eye seize

The need to clash one never ever can see thru
the siege, true
The better, better. Capiche dude?

So its false like wetter weather
But whether west or east
The reach moves;
Too often it offers to seek new

Sleek rides to drive and dine; wine and street food.
Street side like five and dime; climb and sweet mood

Is a prize a prize or a matter of pride
What are you searching for,
Four to shatter the lie?

Scatter the wide angle vision and gather the blind
Rather than try tangle system lets chat with the (you fill in the rest). [mind]

REFRAIN
Hey, we are authorized to win(x2)

And who pays the bi I ill
Still
Is it I or I?(x2)

VERSE
Give him a life angled different than lather and highs
Within a knife angle, is the instance the camera dies

When the camera's dead, head, no camera lies
Like the way you angle your head and span with your eyes

Not the way that we dread
What is planned in reprise
When revenge is served
Cold justice is never hot

Tepid at best we never separate separate messes
We take the loss just over cost and step out our senses

Why settle in the first place.. accepted defeat
Except it is accepted deceit letting the cost repeat

But we maintain
And dont stop the rock
Maintain
While shots they flow "Watch your knot"

REFRAIN
Hey, we are authorized to win(x2)

And who pays the bi I ill
Still
Is it I or I?(x2)

REPRISE
Now wonder
How you keep from going under..
Now, now you wonder
How to keep from going under
(Melle Mel)
*maintain the roots dont stop the roots
DONT STOP THE ROOTS AND YOU GOT TO ROCKSTEADY
