Tightrope - Silver Screen Superstars

Monae and Leftfoot

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 tippin on the scene

Yeah they talkin' bout it

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

Talk about it

T-t-t-talk 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

While 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

T-t-t-tip on the tightrope

Whether you're high or low

Baby whether you're high or low

You got to tip on the tightrope

Now let me see you do the tightrope

And I'm still tippin' on it

See I'm not walkin' on it

Or tryin to run around it

This ain't no acrobatics

You either follow or you lead yeah

I'm talkin' bout you

Or keep on blaming the machine yeah

I'm talkin' bout it

T-t-t-talkin' bout it

I can't complain about it

I gotta keep my balance

And just keep dancin on it

We gettin 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

Baby whether you're high or low

You gotta tip on the tightrope

Yeah tip on the tightrope

Baby baby baby

Whether you're high or low

Baby whether you're high or low

Tip on the tightrope

Baby let me see you tight rope

And I'm still tippin' on it

You gotta keep your balance

Or you fall into the gap

It's a challenge but I manage

Cause I'm cautious with the strap

Do damage to your canvas

That a doctor cannot patch

See boy you don't want no friction

Like the back of a matchbook

Daddy Fat Stacks will fold you

And your MacBook

Close shows shut you down

Before we gon' go backwards

Act up and whether we high or

Low we gonna get back-up

Like the Dow Jones and Nasdaq

Sorta like a thong in an a** crack

Come on

I tip on alligators and little rattle snakers

But I'm another flavor

Something like a terminator

Ain't no equivocating

I fight for what I believe

While you talkin' bout it

Jus-jus-just talkin' bout it

Some callin me a sinner

Some callin me a winner

I'm callin you to dinner

And you know exactly what I mean

Yeah I'm talkin bout you

You can rock or you can leave

Watch me tip without you

N-N-Now whether I'm high or low

Whether I'm high or low

I'm gonna tip on the tightrope

Baby baby baby

Whether I'm high or low

High or low

I got to tip on the tightrope

Now baby tip on the tightrope

You can't get too high

I said you can't get too low

Cause you get too high

No you'll surely be low

1 2 3 Ho

Yeah yeah

Now shut up yeah

Yeah now put some voodoo on it

Ladies and gentlemen the funkiest

Horn section in Metropolis

Yeah yeah yeah OH

We call that classy brass

Do you mind

If I play the ukulele

Just like a little lady

Do you mind

If I play the ukulele

Just like a little lady

As I play the ukulele

If I play my ukulele

Just like a little lady

(Happy birthday)
