It is a funk by Janelle Monáe, where she reveals the essential truths of our world – there will always be haters, who will talk about you, no matter if you high or low. When you got elevated, they either love you or continue to hate you, trying to lower you down, to the level of where they are. You should resist it and try to stay where you are, preserving your identity. It can be named as equilibristic skills, but it is essential thing to survive and to distinguish yourself.

Tightrope Song Lyrics

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 talkin' about it

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

What you talk about it

Talkin' 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 jumpin' 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)

Tip on the tightrope

(Tip, tip on it)

Baby, 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 walkin' on it

Or trying to run around it

This ain't no acrobatics

You either follow or you lead, yeah

I'm talkin' about you,

I'll keep on blaming the machine, yeah

I'm talkin' about it,

Talkin' 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, 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 tippin' on it

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

(Tip, tip on it)

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

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 ass 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 talkin' about it

She's talkin' 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)

MMMMMM

(Tip, tip on it)

Baby, 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

(You can't get too high)

I said you can't get too low

(We can't get too low)

Cause you get too high

(You can't get too high)

No you'll surely be low

(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, oh

We call that classy brass

Oh!

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
