Tightrope è una canzone di Janelle Monáe feat. Big Boi presente in Homecoming, il secondo episodio della Sesta Stagione, in cui è cantata da Jane Hayward e dagli Usignoli.
Fuori dalla stanza del coro della Dalton Academy, Jane attende di essere chiamata per la sua audizione. Rachel le scrive un sms, dicendo che può farcela. Blaine la fa entrare e la presenta. Jane, sulle prime turbata dagli sguardi puntati su di lei, esegue Tightrope. In un primo momento, gli Usignoli sembrano sconvolti, poi in molti iniziano a ballare al suo fianco. Stringe la mano al capo degli Usignoli e tutti la applaudono.
Testo della canzone
Jane:
Whoa
Another day
I'll take your pain away
Some people talk about you
Like they know all about you
When you get down they doubt you
And when you tipping on the scene
Yeah they talkin' about it
Cause they can't tip all on the scene with you talkin' about it
T-t-t-talkin' about 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 you
They trying to take all your dreams
But you can't allow it
Jane (Usignoli):
Cause, baby, whether you're high or low
Whether you're high or low
You got to 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
Jane:
See I'm not walkin' on it
Or trying to run around it
This ain't no acrobatics
You either follow or you lead, yeah
I'm talkin' about you
I'll keep on blaming the machine, yeah
I'm talkin' about it
T-t-t-talkin' about it
I can't complain about it
I gotta keep my balance
And just keep dancing on it
We getting funky on the scene
Yeah you know about it
Like a star on the screen
Watch me tip all on it
Jane (Usignoli):
Then, baby, whether I'm high or low (High or low)
Baby, whether you're high or low (High or low)
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 tight rope (Tip, tip on it)
And I'm still tippin' on it
Jane con gli Usignoli:
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
Why you talkin' about it
Sh-sh-she's talkin' about it
Some calling me a sinner
Some calling me a winner
I'm calling you to dinner
Hey, you know exactly what I mean
Yeah I'm talking about you
You can rock or you can leave
Watch me tip without you
Jane (Usignoli):
Now-now-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)
Oooh (Tip, tip on it)
Baby, baby, whether I'm high or low (High or low)
Low-low-low-low (High or low)
I gotta tip on the tightrope (Tip, tip on it)
Now baby tip on the tightrope
You can't get too high (You can't get too high)
I said you can't get too low (You can't get too low)
Hah, cause you get too high (Cause you get too high)
No, you'll surely be low (No, you'll surely be low)
1, 2, 3, hah
Yeah, yeah
Now, maybe whether I'm high or low (High or low)
Baby whether you're high or low (High or low)
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)
You got to tip on the tightrope (Tip, tip on it)
Baby let me see your tightrope
Let me hear
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You-you
Hoo, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You got to give it up, oh
Oooooo yeah, yeah
You've got to stay on the scene
Yeah, yeah
Tightrope
Hey, yeah, yeah
