Monae and leftfoot

Whoa

Another day

I take your pain away

Some people talk about you

Like they know all about you

When you get down they doubt you

And when you tipping on the scene

Yeah they talking about it

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

What you talk about it

T t t talking 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

Cause baby whether you're high or low

Whether you're high or low

You gotta tip on the tightrope

Tip tip on it

T t t tip on the tightrope

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 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 about you

I'll keep on blaming the machine yeah

I'm talking about it

T t t talking about 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

High or low

Baby whether you're high or low

High or low

Tip on the tightrope

Tip tip on it

Baby let me see you tight rope

And I'm still tipping 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

No damage to your cameras damn I thought that

Can I Passy

Why you don't want no friction

Like the back of a matchbook

That I pass as I will forward you

And your Macbook

Clothes shows will shut you down

Before we go 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

Why you talking about it

S s s she's talking about it

Some calling me a sinner

Some calling me a winner

I'm calling you to dinner

And you know exactly what I mean

Yeah I'm talking about you

You can rock or you can leave

Watch me tip without you

N n now whether I'm high or low

High or low

Whether I'm high or low

High or low

I'm gonna tip on the tightrope

Tip tip on it

Mm

Tip tip on it

Baby baby

Whether I'm high or low

High or low

High or low

High or low

I got to tip on the tightrope

Tip tip on it

Now baby tip on the tightrope

You can't get too high
