Walk On Water - Eminem ft. Beyoncé
[00:00.77] I walk on water
[00:07.20] But I ain't no Jesus
[00:11.42] I walk on water
[00:17.51] But only when it freezes (fuck)
[00:21.93] Why, are expectations so high?
[00:25.60] Is it the bar I set?
[00:26.87] My arms, I stretch, but I can't reach
[00:29.21] A far cry from it, or it's in my grasp, but as
[00:31.73] Soon as I grab, squeeze
[00:34.06] I lose my grip like the flying trapeze
[00:36.36] Into the dark, I plummet
[00:37.60] Now the sky's blackening, I know the mark's high
[00:39.92] Butter-flies rip apart my stomach
[00:42.21] Knowing that no matter what bars I come with
[00:44.33] You're gonna hark, gripe, and that's a hard Vicodin to swallow
[00:48.00] So I scrap these, as pressure increases, like khakis
[00:52.25] I feel the ice cracking, because
[00:54.04] I walk on water
[01:00.41] But I ain't no Jesus
[01:04.58] I walk on water
[01:11.19] But only when it freezes
[01:15.13] It's the curse of the standard
[01:16.40] That the first of the Mathers disc set
[01:18.47] Always in search of the verse that I haven't spit yet
[01:21.24] Will this step just be another misstep
[01:23.39] To tarnish whatever the legacy, love or respect, I've garnered?
[01:27.91] The rhyme has to be perfect, the delivery flawless
[01:31.37] And it always feels like I'm hitting the mark
[01:33.41] 'Til I go sit in the car, listen, and pick it apart
[01:36.55] Like, "This shit is garbage"
[01:38.33] God's given me all this
[01:39.88] Still I feel no different regardless
[01:41.72] Kids look to me like as a God, this is retarded
[01:44.34] If only they knew, it's a facade and it's exhaustive
[01:47.49] And I try to not listen to nonsense
[01:49.56] But if you bitches are trying to strip me of my confidence
[01:51.87] Mission accomplished
[01:53.67] I'm not God-sent
[01:54.69] Nas, Rakim, Pac, Big, James Todd Smith, and I'm not Prince, so
[01:58.09] I walk on water
[02:04.50] But I ain't no Jesus
[02:08.67] I walk on water (It's true, I'm a Rubik's, it's true)
[02:14.94] But only when it freezes (It's true)
[02:17.80] 'Cause I'm only human, just like you
[02:23.32] Making my mistakes, oh if you only knew
[02:28.31] I don't think you should believe in me the way you do
[02:33.60] 'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh
[02:40.20] It's true, I'm a Rubik's, a beautiful mess
[02:43.63] At times juvenile, yes, I goof and I jest
[02:47.23] A flawed human, I guess
[02:48.82] But I'm doing my best to not ruin your expectations
[02:51.93] And meet 'em, but first, the "Speedom" verse
[02:54.08] Now, Big Sean, he's going too fast
[02:55.64] Is he gonna shout or curse out his mom?
[02:58.15] There was a time I had the world by the balls, eating out my palm
[03:01.81] Every album, song I was spazzin' the fuck out on
[03:04.64] And now I'm getting clowned and frowned on
[03:06.67] But the only one who's looking down on me that matters now's Deshaun
[03:10.89] Am I lucky to be around this long?
[03:14.25] Begs the question, though
[03:15.50] Especially after the methadone
[03:17.30] As yesterday fades and the Dresden home is burnt to the ground
[03:20.10] And all that's left of my house is lawn
[03:22.66] The crowds are gone
[03:24.68] And it's time to wash out the blonde
[03:26.48] Sales decline, the curtains drawn
[03:28.79] They're closing the set, I'm still poking my head out from behind
[03:32.31] And everyone who has doubt, remind
[03:35.43] Now take your best rhyme, outdo it, now do it a thousand times
[03:40.41] Now let 'em tell ya the world no longer cares or gives a fuck about your rhymes
[03:45.90] And as I grow outta sight, outta mind, I might go outta mine
[03:49.80] 'Cause how do I, ever let this mic go without a fight
[03:52.93] When I made a fuckin' tightrope outta twine?
[03:57.37] But when I do fall from these heights, though, I'll be fine
[04:00.17] I won't pout or cry or spiral down or whine
[04:03.03] But I'll decide if it's my final bow this time around 'cause
[04:06.01] I walk on water
[04:12.54] But I ain't no Jesus
[04:16.70] I walk on water
[04:23.05] But only when it freezes
[04:25.89] 'Cause I'm only human, just like you
[04:30.89] I been making my mistakes, oh if you only knew
[04:36.17] I don't think you should believe in me the way that you do
[04:41.65] 'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh
[04:48.54] If I walked on water, I would drown
