Cause they can't get on the scene.
But you talk about it.
[Ab] When you get [Eb] elevated,
they love it [G] or they hate it.
You dance [Gb] upon them haters.
Keep your info [Ab] key on the scene while they jumping around you.
They trying to take all of your dreams but you [Cm] can't allow it.

Now let me see you through the tightrope.
And I'm still dipping on it.
