Tightrope

Some people talk about you

Like they know all about you

When you get down, they doubt you

And when you tip on the scene

Yeah they talking 'bout it

'Cause they can't tip all on the scene with you

T-t-t-talk about it

When you get elevated

They love it or they hate it

You dance up on them haters

Keep getting funky on the scene

While they jumping round you

They trying to take all your dreams

But you can't allow it

[Refrain:]

'Cause, baby, you're high or low

Baby, whether you're high or low

You gotta tip on the tightrope

T-t-t-tip on the tightrope

Baby, whether you're high or low

Baby, whether you're high or low

You got to tip on the tightrope

T-t-t-tip on the tightrope

And I'm still tipping on it

See I'm not walking on it

Or trying to run around it

This ain't no acrobatics

You either follow or you lead

Yeah, I'm talking 'bout you

Or keep on blaming the machine

Yeah, I'm talking 'bout it

T-t-t-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

[Refrain x 2:]

Baby, you're high or low

Baby, whether you're high or low

You gotta tip on the tightrope

T-t-t-tip on the tightrope

Baby, whether you're high or low

Baby, whether you're high or low

You got to tip on the tightrope

T-t-t-tip on the tightrope

And I'm still tipping on it

And I'm still tipping on it

And I'm still tipping on it

And I'm still tipping on it

And I'm still tipping on it
