Lyrics:
Monáe and Leftfoot
whoa
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 tip it on the scene
yeah, they talkin' 'bout it
'cause they can't tip on the scene
they just talk about it
t-t-t-talkin' '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 of 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, 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 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 ya
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 (high or low)
baby, whether you're high or low (high or low)
ooh, 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 tightrope (tip, tip on it)
and I'm still tippin' on it

I tip on alligators
and little rattlesnakers
but I'm another flavor
something like a terminator
ain't no equivocating
I fight for what I believe
why you talkin' 'bout it?
j-j-just talkin' 'bout it
some callin' me a sinner
some callin' me a winner
I'm callin' you to dinner
hey 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 (high or low)
whether I'm high or low (high or low)
I'm gonna tip on the tightrope (tip, tip on it)
mmm (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
