Alright alright   Ok      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   Rumours lerk but we work with an inside insight   They wanna 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 in floats and so ya know   It's all politics, real politics, work politics, school politics, friendship politics   Bullies on the block try'na force you to follow quick   More love, more hate we choose to acknowledge this self-approved scholarship   In the face of a hollowtip we sit back and wait for what tomorrow brings      "MC's walk the walk but they can't talk the rhyme"      We all walk the tightropes   They may try'n shoot down all of our high hopes   Everytime I fall still holding a biro   We pick ourselves up and we make a side note   "I walk the tightrope"      "I walk the tightrope"         Fanbase 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 speaked, believe I will stand up   Pull down my socks and then pull my pants up   All the while their try'na 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      "One Step Ahead of ya'   "I walk the tightrope"   "Walk in a line straight stuck doin the blind thing"      We all walk the tightropes   They may try'n 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"      "I walk the tightrope"      Wait a second mate you should be happy here   Tonight we're try'na celebrate with a beer   But it appears you're just try'na interfere in my inner ear   Try'na say it's not our biggest cheer, c'mon
