JANELLE MONAE lyrics : "Tightrope - Cover by Chvrches"

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


Big Boi:

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 $$# 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)
