Alright, alright, OK, huh [Verse 1] Aiyyo, we live life walking on a thin line Love, hate, underground and big time Try not to get caught up in the rip tide Bedroom rapper writing in dim lights Plutonic making beats way through midnight Rumors lurk but we work with an inside insight They want a big divide, fist fight I'm gonna bring my live-die approach While they sit by with their king size smokes With a big smile, life drifts by and floats And so, ya know it's all politics, real politics Work politics, school politics, friendship politics Bullies on the block trynna force you to follow quick More love, more hate we choose to acknowledge this Self-approved scholarship In the face of a hollow tip We sit back and wait for what tomorrow brings [Scratches] "MC's walk the walk but they can't talk the rhyme" [Hook] {X2} We all walk the tightropes They may try to shoot down all of our high hopes Every time I fall still holding a biro We pick ourselves up and we make a side note "I walk the tightrope" {First time} [Verse 2] Fan base growing, showing support Handshake exchange though I know they deserve more The pillars who put fun back into the sport Didn't sell Hunger Pains, still played it in the store It means more when they show off their teeth Got a smile that leaves a permanent crease from cheek to cheek Each reach just a volunteer's hand up Achievement's peaked, believe I will stand up Pull down my socks and then pull my pants up All the while their trynna leave me handcuffed Should be amped up, not getting pushed down Reflect, double check now, take a look around New job, new born, new car New uniform, new heart, new body, new start New dawn, your ambition is sitting in the food court Move forward, take what's yours and just cruise forth [Scratches] "Step ahead of ya' "I walk the tightrope" "Walk in a line straight stuck doing the blind thing" [Hook] {X2} [Verse 3] Wait a second mate you should be happy here Tonight we're trynna celebrate with a beer But it appears you're just trynna interfere In my inner ear, trynna say it's not our biggest year C'mon!
