Tightrope
SoCal VoCals Lyrics

Whoa
Expressing awe or excitement.

Another day
Another day of taking away someone's pain and struggles.

I take your pain away
Assuming the role of a healer, helping to alleviate someone's pain.

Some people talk about you
There is no lack of people who discuss and judge you.

Like they know all about you
These people pretend as if they know everything about you, which is unlikely.

When you get down they doubt you
When you fall to the ground, these people start to question your abilities or success.

And when you tipping on the scene
When you're at the top of your game and are killing it on a scene

Yeah they talkin′ about it
They will gossip and talk about you endlessly.

'Cause they can′t tip all on the scene with you
They are envious of your success and cannot keep up with you on the scene.

Yeah you talk about it
You too, talk about your success and are open about it.

Talkin' about it
Continuing to talk about your success.

When you get elevated,
The moment you reach your highest potential.

They love it or they hate it
There are two types of people, either they will love your success or hate it.

You dance up on them haters
You flaunt your success and have fun with it despite what haters say.

Keep getting funky on the scene
Continue to have fun and be entertaining on the scene.

While they jumpin' round you
While people are envious and try to bring you down

They trying to take all your dreams
They attempt to squash your aspirations and work towards your dreams.

But you can′t allow it
Don't let their negativity bring you down, keep fighting.

′Cause baby whether you're high or low
Regardless of whether you're in a great place or not.

Whether you′re high or low
No matter where you are, in terms of success or otherwise.

You gotta tip on the tightrope
You must navigate your way through life's challenges, just like walking on a tightrope.

(Tip, tip on it)
A chant-like line, emphasizing the notion of maintaining balance and continuing on.

Baby, baby, baby
Addressing someone close to them, either with affection or slight annoyance.

Now let me see you do the tightrope
Let's see how well you can navigate your own life's challenges.

And I'm still tippin′ on it
Continuously balancing and staying afloat through life's ups and downs.

See I'm not walkin' on it
They aren't just going through life, they are balancing and carefully maneuvering through it.

Or trying to run around it
They aren't trying to cheat their way out of their troubles.

This ain′t no acrobatics
This isn't just ordinary stunts, they are carefully navigating through life's difficulties.

You either follow or you lead, yeah
You can either follow the crowd or be a leader, it's your choice.

I'm talkin' about you,
Referring to the listener, is speaking directly to them.

I'll keep on blaming the machine, yeah
They continue to blame something external for their issues.

I'm talkin′ about it
Continuing to talk about their struggles.

I can't complain about it
They know they can't just complain about their issues if they want to succeed.

I gotta keep my balance
They know they must maintain inner balance to achieve their goals.

And just keep dancing on it
Let's keep living and enjoying life's adventures.

We getting funky on the scene
We are having a good time on the scene and are happy living life to the fullest.

Yeah you know about it,
People are very aware of our success.

Like a star on the screen
They feel like a celebrity, with people noticing them all the time.

Watch me tip all on it
Watch me balance and navigate through life's problems with ease.

Cause baby whether I'm high or low
Like before, regardless of success or lack thereof.

You gotta tip on the tightrope
You must stay focused and balance your way through life's difficulties.

Yeah, tip on the tightrope
Emphasizing the importance and necessity of maintaining balance.

Yeah, tippin' on the tight rope
Repeating the main theme of the song, tippin' on life's challenges.

Hey, tippin′ on the tight rope
Addressing someone or something, tippin' on life's challenges.

I was aww
Exclaiming awe or surprise.

Tippin on
Continuously balancing and staying afloat through life's ups and downs.

Some calling me a sinner
People may call me bad or a what I'm doing wrong.

Some calling me a winner
Others view me as a success, celebrating what I accomplished.

I′m calling you to dinner
They are asking the listener to join them for a meal, a way of saying that life is good and they are still here.

And you know exactly what I mean,
The listener knows the journey they've been on and understands what they've been through.

You can rock or you can leave
The listener can either choose to participate and live their best life or they can leave and avoid the challenges altogether.

Watch me tip without you
Even if someone isn't present, they will continue to navigate through life's challenges with ease.

N-N-Now whether I'm high or low
Regardless of the circumstances I face.

I′m gonna tip on the tightrope
They are determined to continue navigating through life's difficulties with grace and balance, never giving up.

MMMMMM
A chant-like line, creating a sense of focus and determination.
