Tightrope

Tightrope (The Solo Version) - Janelle Monáe (加奈儿·梦奈)

Whoaaa

Another day

I take your pain away

Some people talk about ya

Like they know all about ya

When you get down they doubt ya

And when you dip it on the scene

Yeah they talkin 'bout it

Cause they can't dip on the scene

Whatcha talk about it

Talkin 'bout it

When you get elevated

They love it or they hate it

You dance up on them haters

Keep getting funky on the scene

Why they jumpin' round ya

They trying to take all your dreams

But you can't allow it

Cause baby whether you're high or low

Whether you're high or low

You gotta tip on the tightrope

Tip tip on it

Tip on the tightrope

Tip tip on it

Baby baby

Whether you're high or low

High or low

Baby whether you're high or low

High or low

You got to tip on the tightrope

Tip tip on it

Now let me see you do the tightrope

Tip tip on it

And I'm still tippin' on it

See I'm not walking on it

Or tryin' to run around it

This ain't no acrobatics

You either follow or you lead yeah

I'm talking 'bout you

I'll keep on blaming the machine yeah

I'm talking 'bout it

Talking 'bout it

I can't complain about it

I gotta keep my balance

And just keep dancing on it

We getting funky on the scene

Yeah you know about it

Like a star on the screen

Watch me tip all on it

Then baby whether I'm high or low

High or low

Baby whether you're high or low

High or low

You gotta tip on the tightrope

Tip tip on it

Yeah tip on the tightrope

Tip tip on it

Baby baby

Whether you're high or low
