It's like I'm walking on a tightrope, looking through a gun scope, rapping in a rowboat, whoa-oh!

[@harrynunchuks6231]

Whoa, hold up there buddy, with lines as fire as those, no one can defeat you, you might as well become the next viral singer with that.

LYRICS I was like what you want me to do? She was like what you want me to choose? I was like well I didn't say that, but you know Help me help you I'm on the balance beam to keep you happy Or say fuck it, stay mad at me Know how that goes, drink, fight, patch things up in the back of a taxi She can skate thin ice on wheels and not once get wet She could walk five miles in heels not one foot out of step And I swear I'll leave you swept, off your feet it's just our guess I'm falling hard on myself here, yeah over my head It's like I'm walking on a tightrope And every step could be the one where I fall It's like I'm running with a blindfold And I could be wrong but I don't know, I don't know! Headed for the deep end, Thursday we fight and forget it by the weekend Fast learner, I figured out quick With her it's not the getting it's the keeping 'Cause she's a gem, so everyone wants her shinning with them Gettin' my bulldog on bro Mind your step, keep it on your side of the fence I play my demo's one last once Smile if she likes it, laugh if it sucks! Cold blooded, she the first in my corner But now, what's that if it ain't called love When it's all said and done, baby and happy 'till my heads spun So I might get lucky I might get none Like I'm right back at square one! It's like I'm walking on a tightrope And every step could be the one where I fall It's like I'm running with a blindfold And I can't help but feel that I'm about to lose control! It's like I'm walking on a tightrope, running with a blindfold, Rolling with my eyes closed, woah It's like I'm walking on a tightrope And I could be wrong But I don't know, I don't know! It's like I'm walking on a tightrope And every step could be the one where I fall It's like I'm running with a blindfold And I can't help but feel that I'm about to lose control It's like I'm walking on a tightrope, running with a blindfold, Falling with my eyes closed It's like I'm walking on a tightrope And I could be wrong, and I could be wrong It's like I'm walking on a tightrope And every step could be the one where I fall It's like I'm running with a blindfold And I can't help but feel that I'm about to lose control! It's like I'm walking on a tightrope, running with a blindfold Falling with my eyes closed Woah It's like I'm walking on a tightrope, and I could be wrong But I don't know, I don't know

Illy's sound is completely different to when I first heard him. For me anyway, I can see the transition from hip hop to what I guess is now called 'pop hop'. Awesome artist and has achieved a lot which he deserves big ups for. Just not for me.

How come in neither the title nor the video description with the credits does Illy actually credit the female vocalist? That's just really rude.

[@determination1178]

Its prob he's sis or someone who not famous well not well know

[@yvo84]

So that makes it ok not to credit her? She sings on the track longer than he raps.
