[Chorus: Beyoncé & Eminem]
~#**************#~
I walk on water
~#**************#~
But I aint no Jesus
~#**************#~
I walk on water
~#**************#~
But only when it freezes (Fuck)
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Eminem]
~#**************#~
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 its 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 skys blackening
~#**************#~
I know the mark’s high, butter-
~#**************#~
flies rip apart my stomach
~#**************#~
Knowin that no matter what bars I come with
~#**************#~
Youre gonna harp, gripe, and
~#**************#~
Thats a hard Vicodin to swallow, so I scrap these
~#**************#~
As pressure increases like khakis
~#**************#~
I feel the ice cracking, because—
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Beyoncé & Eminem]
~#**************#~
I walk on water
~#**************#~
But I aint no Jesus
~#**************#~
(Its the curse of the—, its the curse of the—)
~#**************#~
I walk on water (Shit)
~#**************#~
But only when it freezes
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Eminem]
~#**************#~
Its 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 Im hittin’ the mark
~#**************#~
‘Til I go sit in the car, listen and pick it apart
~#**************#~
Like, “This shit is garbage”
~#**************#~
Gods given me all this, still, I feel no different regardless
~#**************#~
Kids look to me as a god, this is retarded
~#**************#~
If only they knew, its 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
~#**************#~
Im not God-sent, Nas, Rakim, ‘Pac, B.I.G., James Todd Smith
~#**************#~
And Im not Prince, so…
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Beyoncé & Eminem]
~#**************#~
I walk on water
~#**************#~
But I aint no Jesus
~#**************#~
I walk on water
~#**************#~
(Its true, Im a Rubiks—, its true—)
~#**************#~
But only when it freezes
~#**************#~
(Its true—)
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus: Beyoncé]
~#**************#~
‘Cause Im only human, just like you
~#**************#~
Makin my mistakes, oh, if you only knew
~#**************#~
I dont think you should believe in me the way that you do
~#**************#~
‘Cause Im terrified to let you down, oh
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Eminem]
~#**************#~
Its true, Im a Rubiks—a beautiful mess
~#**************#~
At times, juvenile, yes, I goof and I jest
~#**************#~
A flawed human, I guess
~#**************#~
But Im doin my best to not ruin your ex-
~#**************#~
pectations and meet em, but first
~#**************#~
The “Speedom” verse, now Big Sean
~#**************#~
Hes 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 fuck out on
~#**************#~
And now Im gettin clowned and frowned on
~#**************#~
But the only one whos looking down on
~#**************#~
Me that matters nows 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 thats left of my house is lawn
~#**************#~
The crowds are gone
~#**************#~
And its time to wash out the blonde
~#**************#~
Sales decline, the curtains drawn
~#**************#~
Theyre closin the set, Im 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 fuck 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 fuckin tightrope outta twine?
~#**************#~
But when I do fall from these heights, though, Ill be fine
~#**************#~
I wont pout or cry or spiral down or whine
~#**************#~
But Ill decide if its my final bow this time around, cause—
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Beyoncé]
~#**************#~
I walk on water
~#**************#~
But I aint no Jesus
~#**************#~
I walk on water
~#**************#~
But only when it freezes
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus: Beyoncé]
~#**************#~
‘Cause Im only human, just like you
~#**************#~
Ive been makin my mistakes, oh, if you only knew
~#**************#~
I dont think you should believe in me the way that you do
~#**************#~
‘Cause Im terrified to let you down, oh
~#**************#~
If I walked on water, I would drown
~#**************#~
[Outro: Eminem]
~#**************#~
‘Cause Im just a man
~#**************#~
But as long as I got a mic, Im godlike
~#**************#~
So me and you are not alike
~#**************#~
Bitch, I wrote “Stan”
