Tightrope (Wondamix)
Janelle Monae

[** feat. B.o.B, Lupe Fiasco:]



[B.o.B:]

Yeah, what’s high?*

Ha, and what’s low?

What’s low?

Who?

What’s happening?

Yeah

It’s B.O…


Hey yeah…


Well if you’re looking for me I’m probably in metropolis

I do this for the love so this is non-profit shit

I’m board walking so you call this monopoly

Obviously, my approach to music ain’t moderate

As my macoma spits I am the anomaly

I love all the haters coz the haters is what got me here

Strangers ‘hey B.O.B’-y me

Groupies try to buddy me

But I’m a different planet so excuse my astrology

But there are no apologies for dropping all these prophecies

Breaking over barriers, your juggernauts ain’t stopping me

Balance ain’t symmetrical, I guess I’m just geometry

Guess I’m just atomically built the way they I, B.O.B, wanna be

B.O.B wanna be, you stride on a beat, we slide on our feet

We tightrope

I don’t need no what-gotta-be

I’ll do this in a blindfold

Honestly we live the type of life people would die for

So we keep on tipping every second that we tightrope


[Janelle Monae:]

Baby baby

Whether you high or low

Baby whether you high or low

You gotta tip on the tightrope

Now let me see you do the tightrope

And I’m still tippin’ on it


[Lupe Fiasco:]

Greetings

Welcome to the meeting of the minds

That be thinkin’ all the time ‘bout defeating all the blind

Following, swallowing, drinking of

the time honoured traditions of keeping in a line

I prefer to figure eight, and then I’ll pop,

Rock all night

‘Til the candles on my mantle stop

And it’s getting programming on every single channel

Watched televised revolutionaries on the chapel top

Shouting

Down in Babylon when they’re accounting

Medieval mathematics keep us average in amounting

But I surpass that


I dropped out of they math class

I am, coz I thought,

now my tightrope is a sidewalk


[Janelle Monae:]

Baby baby

Whether you high or low

Baby whether you high or low

You got to tip on the tightrope

Now let me so you do the tightrope


Now, now, na, na na na na…


I can grind with the fellas

And rock a stage acapella

Never

Can you hear me?

I am unpredictable like the weather

Ta-ta-talking about me

I stay floating like a feather

Jump on the elevator

Baby we on the next level

Album just dropped and I've been on a couple covers

Black and white tux, ain’t no need for no other colours

Ta-ta-talking about ‘wa-wa-why don’t she change her clothes?’

Well they ain’t seem to mind the last three times I posed in Vogue

Some people get high and then some people get low

Well I’m gonna keep it in the middle so my people can know

Underdogs stand up tall coz I’m talking to ya’ll

I can pose, I balance all

Like I’m Dominique Dawes

Then I’m gone!


High or low

Baby whether you high or low

You gotta tip on the tightrope

Now let me see you do the tightrope


(woah, you keep on running around on it)


Baby baby whether you high or low

Baby whether you high or low

You gotta tip on the tightrope

Now let me see ya’ do the tightrope

And I’m still tippin’ on it…


Keep keep keep my balance

I gotta, gotta keep my balance


High or low

Whether you’re high or low

You gotta tip on the tightrope

Let me see you on it…
