- I walk on water
- But I ain't no Jesus
- I walk on water
- But only when it freezes (****)
- Why are expectations so high? Is it the bar I set?
- My arms, I stretch, but I can't reach
- A far cry from it, or it's in my grasp, but as
- Soon as I grab, squeeze
- I lose my grip like the flying trapeze
- Into the dark I plummet, now the sky's blackening
- I know the mark's high, butter–
- Flies rip apart my stomach
- Knowin' that no matter what bars I come with
- You're gonna harp, gripe, and
- That's a hard Vicodin to swallow, so I scrap these
- As pressure increases like khakis
- I feel the ice cracking, because—
- I walk on water
- But I ain't no Jesus
- (It's the curse of the—, it's the curse of the—)
- I walk on water (Shit)
- But only when it freezes
- It's the curse of the standard, that the first of the Mathers disc set
- Always in search of the verse that I haven't spit yet
- Will this step just be another misstep
- To tarnish whatever the legacy, love or respect
- I've garnered? The rhyme has to be perfect, the delivery flawless
- And it always feels like I'm hittin' the mark
- 'Til I go sit in the car, listen and pick it apart
- Like, "This shit is garbage!"
- God's given me all this, still I feel no different regardless
- Kids look to me as a god, this is retarded
- If only they knew, it's a facade and it's exhaustive
- And I try not to listen to nonsense
- But if you bitches are tryin' to strip me of my confidence
- Mission accomplished
- I'm not God-sent, Nas, Rakim, 'Pac, B.I.G., James Todd Smith
- And I'm not Prince, so…
- I walk on water
- But I ain't no Jesus
- I walk on water
- (It's true, I'm a Rubik's—, it's true—)
- But only when it freezes
- (It's true—)
- 'Cause I'm only human, just like you
- Making my mistakes, oh if you only knew
- I don't think you should believe in me the way that you do
- 'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh
- It's true, I'm a Rubik's—a beautiful mess
- At times juvenile, yes, I goof and I jest
- A flawed human, I guess
- But I'm doin' my best to not ruin your ex–
- Pectations and meet 'em, but first
- The "Speedom" verse, now Big Sean
- He's goin' too fast, is he gonna shout or curse out his mom?
- There was a time I had the world by the balls, eatin' out my palm
- Every album song I was spazzin' the **** out on
- And now I'm gettin' clowned and frowned on
- But the only one who's looking down on
- Me that matters now's DeShaun
- Am I lucky to be around this long?
- Begs the question though
- Especially after the methadone
- As yesterday fades and the Dresden home
- Is burnt to the ground and all that's left of my house is lawn
- The crowds are gone
- And it's time to wash out the blonde
- Sales decline, the curtain's drawn
- They're closin' the set, I'm still pokin' my head from out behind
- And everyone who has doubt, remind
- Now take your best rhyme, outdo it, now do it a thousand times
- Now let 'em tell ya the world no longer cares
- Or gives a **** about your rhymes
- And as I grow outta sight, outta mind, I might go outta mine
- 'Cause how do I ever let this mic go without a fight
- When I made a ****in' tightrope outta twine?
- But when I do fall from these heights though, I'll be fine
- I won't pout or cry or spiral down or whine
- But I'll decide if it's my final bow this time around, 'cause—
- I walk on water
- But I ain't no Jesus
- I walk on water
- But only when it freezes
- 'Cause I'm only human, just like you
- I've been making my mistakes, oh if you only knew
- I don't think you should believe in me the way that you do
- 'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh
- If I walked on water, I would drown
