Life is a Tightrope Songtext
They say don′t move too fast
Fine line between speed and too much gas
They say don't go too slow
Fine line between patience and losing control
Life is a tightrope
Gotta do my best
Get it off my throat
So much smoke in my words that I choke
Blacked out lungs, but that′s how I cope
I guess that speaks to foundation
Before I partied on the roof
Working in the basement
No degree, lack of formal education
Pressure from society
But I never caved in
No, I was just focused on the pavement
Lightning McQueen with the road I'm making
All around me
All I see quaking
My martinis are the only thing shaking
Yeah
You can't move me
I be standing strong like an evergreen
Morals got me still like a trunk in the breeze
I spit in the face of mediocrity
When I speak
Things suddenly still
Doing something to you
You can′t find in a pill
Because sincerity in my words is real
I ain′t looking for approval
You already know the deal
They say don't move too slow
Fine line between lazy and losing control
They say don′t go too fast
Fine line between speed and too much gas
Life is a tightrope
Gotta do my best, get it off my throat
So much smoke in my words that I choke
Blacked out lungs, but that's how I cope
Even when I lose, I don′t really fail
Just learn from it, Cap'n Ahab
Wind in my sails
No wind
Promise yall wouldnt tune in
That′s the breeze that keep the beat moving
Taking off like shoes on my feet, Tim's on
But I still find a way to win the track meet
Too Slow, too fast, get off my back
If I cared what you thought, then I would've asked
Everybody watching me from the sideline
Yelling out plays like they playing when it′s game time
People wanna slow your pace when you enter your prime
Saying these are the rules, thats a guideline
Folks scared of what they ain′t seen before
Scary movie type fear
Like what's behind the door
Scared to come around the shop, don′t know it's in store
Scared I′ll hit em with a rock like Paramore
Therefore they don't even implore
Ask why
Ignorance is bliss when the grass on your side
What′s society gonna learn
Just let a man be
How much freedom cost
Lord knows it ain't free
Asking hard questions
Curiosity
Can't think like this when you swallow
Animosity
737 Imma take off, plane to sea
Levels to the rhyme, Bernie made off in my seat
They say don′t move too fast
Fine line between speed and too much gas
They say don′t go too slow
Fine line between patience and losing control
Life is a tightrope, gotta do my best Get it off my throat
So much smoke in my words that I choke Blacked out lungs, that's how I cope
Life is a tightrope
Life is a tightrope
Fine line between speed and too much gas
They say don't go too slow
Fine line between patience and losing control
Life is a tightrope
Gotta do my best
Get it off my throat
So much smoke in my words that I choke
Blacked out lungs, but that′s how I cope
I guess that speaks to foundation
Before I partied on the roof
Working in the basement
No degree, lack of formal education
