[00:00.154] I walk on water
[00:07.256] But I ain't no Jesus
[00:11.642] I walk on water
[00:17.170] But only when it freezes (****)
[00:21.414]
[00:21.732] Why are expectations so high? Is it the bar I set?
[00:26.993] My arms, I stretch, but I can't reach
[00:29.025] A far cry from it, or it's in my grasp, but as
[00:31.558] Soon as I grab, squeeze
[00:33.596] I lose my grip like the flying trapeze
[00:36.008] Into the dark I plummet, now the sky's blackening
[00:38.723] I know the mark's high, butter–
[00:40.315] Flies rip apart my stomach
[00:41.722] Knowin' that no matter what bars I come with
[00:44.107] You're gonna harp, gripe, and
[00:45.960] That's a hard Vicodin to swallow, so I scrap these
[00:48.483] As pressure increases like khakis
[00:51.625] I feel the ice cracking, because—
[00:54.095]
[00:54.310] I walk on water
[01:00.544] But I ain't no Jesus
[01:02.490] (It's the curse of the—, it's the curse of the—)
[01:04.036] I walk on water (Shit)
[01:09.762] But only when it freezes
[01:14.209]
[01:14.773] It's the curse of the standard, that the first of the Mathers disc set
[01:17.946] Always in search of the verse that I haven't spit yet
[01:21.111] Will this step just be another misstep
[01:23.153] To tarnish whatever the legacy, love or respect
[01:26.388] I've garnered? The rhyme has to be perfect, the delivery flawless
[01:31.008] And it always feels like I'm hittin' the mark
[01:33.274] 'Til I go sit in the car, listen and pick it apart
[01:36.353] Like, "This shit is garbage!"
[01:37.767] God's given me all this, still I feel no different regardless
[01:40.995] Kids look to me as a god, this is retarded
[01:44.363] If only they knew, it's a facade and it's exhaustive
[01:46.587] And I try not to listen to nonsense
[01:49.503] But if you ******* are tryin' to strip me of my confidence
[01:51.799] Mission accomplished
[01:53.074] I'm not God-sent, Nas, Rakim, 'Pac, B.I.G., James Todd Smith
[01:57.082] And I'm not Prince, so…
[01:57.709]
[01:57.983] I walk on water
[02:04.407] But I ain't no Jesus
[02:08.211] I walk on water
[02:11.784] (It's true, I'm a Rubik's—, it's true—)
[02:14.787] But only when it freezes
[02:17.073] (It's true—)
[02:17.921]
[02:18.197] 'Cause I'm only human, just like you
[02:22.682] Making my mistakes, oh if you only knew
[02:27.632] I don't think you should believe in me the way that you do
[02:33.176] 'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh
[02:39.265]
[02:40.149] It's true, I'm a Rubik's—a beautiful mess
[02:43.384] At times juvenile, yes, I goof and I jest
[02:46.711] A flawed human, I guess
[02:48.842] But I'm doin' my best to not ruin your ex–
[02:51.017] Pectations and meet 'em, but first
[02:52.763] The "Speedom" verse, now Big Sean
[02:54.797] He's goin' too fast, is he gonna shout or curse out his mom?
[02:57.376] There was a time I had the world by the *****, eatin' out my palm
[03:01.554] Every album song I was spazzin' the **** out on
[03:03.974] And now I'm gettin' clowned and frowned on
[03:06.195] But the only one who's looking down on
[03:08.143] Me that matters now's DeShaun
[03:10.130] Am I lucky to be around this long?
[03:13.040] Begs the question though
[03:15.404] Especially after the *********
[03:17.210] As yesterday fades and the Dresden home
[03:19.065] Is burnt to the ground and all that's left of my house is lawn
[03:22.547] The crowds are gone
[03:24.115] And it's time to wash out the blonde
[03:26.319] Sales decline, the curtain's drawn
[03:28.740] They're closin' the set, I'm still pokin' my head from out behind
[03:31.452] And everyone who has doubt, remind
[03:34.633] Now take your best rhyme, outdo it, now do it a thousand times
[03:39.933] Now let 'em tell ya the world no longer cares
[03:42.269] Or gives a **** about your rhymes
[03:45.390] And as I grow outta sight, outta mind, I might go outta mine
[03:49.611] 'Cause how do I ever let this mic go without a fight
[03:52.687] When I made a ****in' tightrope outta twine?
[03:56.056] But when I do fall from these heights though, I'll be fine
[03:59.961] I won't pout or cry or spiral down or whine
[04:02.819] But I'll decide if it's my final bow this time around, 'cause—
[04:05.265]
[04:05.678] I walk on water
[04:11.829] But I ain't no Jesus
[04:16.390] I walk on water
[04:22.425] But only when it freezes
[04:25.325]
[04:25.796] 'Cause I'm only human, just like you
[04:30.728] I've been making my mistakes, oh if you only knew
[04:36.024] I don't think you should believe in me the way that you do
[04:41.105] 'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh
[04:48.060] If I walked on water, I would drown
