Eminem ft. Beyoncé - Walk On Water

[00:00.65] I walk on water

[00:07.65] But I ain't no Jesus

[00:11.65] I walk on water

[00:18.15] But only when it freezes (Fuck)

[00:22.40] Why are expectations so high? Is it the bar I set?

[00:27.15] My arms, I stretch, but I can’t reach

[00:29.65] A far cry from it, or it's in my grasp, but as

[00:32.15] Soon as I grab, squeeze

[00:34.40] I lose my grip like the flying trapeze

[00:36.65] Into the dark I plummet, now the sky's blackening

[00:39.15] I know the mark’s high, butter–

[00:40.65] flies rip apart my stomach

[00:42.65] Knowin' that no matter what bars I come with

[00:44.65] You're gonna harp, gripe, and

[00:46.15] That's a hard Vicodin to swallow, so I scrap these

[00:49.90] As pressure increases like khakis

[00:52.65] I feel the ice cracking, because—

[00:54.40] I walk on water

[01:00.90] But I ain't no Jesus

[01:03.65] (It's the curse of the—, it's the curse of the—)

[01:05.15] I walk on water (Shit)

[01:11.15] But only when it freezes

[01:15.40] It's the curse of the standard, that the first of the Mathers disc set

[01:18.89] Always in search of the verse that I haven’t spit yet

[01:21.40] Will this step just be another misstep

[01:23.90] To tarnish whatever the legacy, love or respect

[01:26.65] I’ve garnered? The rhyme has to be perfect, the delivery flawless

[01:31.65] And it always feels like I'm hittin’ the mark

[01:33.65] 'Til I go sit in the car, listen and pick it apart

[01:37.28] Like, "This shit is garbage!"

[01:38.77] God's given me all this, still I feel no different regardless

[01:42.27] Kids look to me as a god, this is retarded

[01:44.77] If only they knew, it's a facade and it’s exhaustive

[01:48.28] And I try not to listen to nonsense

[01:49.77] But if you bitches are tryin' to strip me of my confidence

[01:52.52] Mission accomplished

[01:54.27] I'm not God-sent, Nas, Rakim, 'Pac, B.I.G., James Todd Smith

[01:57.77] And I'm not Prince, so…

[01:58.77] I walk on water

[02:04.77] But I ain't no Jesus

[02:09.02] I walk on water

[02:12.78] (It's true, I'm a Rubik's—, it's true—)

[02:15.52] But only when it freezes

[02:17.77] (It's true—)

[02:18.52] 'Cause I'm only human, just like you

[02:23.77] Making my mistakes, oh if you only knew

[02:28.52] I don't think you should believe in me the way that you do

[02:34.02] 'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh

[02:41.02] It's true, I'm a Rubik's—a beautiful mess

[02:44.02] At times juvenile, yes, I goof and I jest

[02:47.27] A flawed human, I guess

[02:49.27] But I'm doin' my best to not ruin your ex–

[02:51.77] pectations and meet 'em, but first

[02:53.27] The "Speedom" verse, now Big Sean

[02:55.02] He's goin' too fast, is he gonna shout or curse out his mom?

[02:58.03] There was a time I had the world by the balls, eatin' out my palm

[03:02.02] Every album song I was spazzin' the fuck out on

[03:05.02] And now I'm gettin' clowned and frowned on

[03:07.27] But the only one who's looking down on

[03:08.77] Me that matters now's DeShaun

[03:11.27] Am I lucky to be around this long?

[03:14.02] Begs the question though

[03:16.02] Especially after the methadone

[03:17.77] As yesterday fades and the Dresden home

[03:19.77] Is burnt to the ground and all that's left of my house is lawn

[03:23.27] The crowds are gone

[03:24.77] And it's time to wash out the blonde

[03:27.02] Sales decline, the curtain's drawn

[03:29.27] They're closin' the set, I'm still pokin' my head from out behind

[03:33.02] And everyone who has doubt, remind

[03:36.27] Now take your best rhyme, outdo it, now do it a thousand times

[03:40.77] Now let 'em tell ya the world no longer cares

[03:43.02] Or gives a fuck about your rhymes

[03:46.77] And as I grow outta site, outta mind, I might go outta mine

[03:50.27] 'Cause how do I ever let this mic go without a fight

[03:53.78] When I made a fuckin' tightrope outta twine?

[03:58.02] But when I do fall from these heights though, I'll be fine

[04:01.02] I won't pout or cry or spiral down or whine

[04:03.52] But I'll decide if it's my final bow this time around, 'cause—

[04:06.52] I walk on water

[04:12.77] But I ain't no Jesus

[04:17.02] I walk on water

[04:23.52] But only when it freezes

[04:26.52] 'Cause I'm only human, just like you

[04:31.52] I've been making my mistakes, oh if you only knew

[04:37.02] I don't think you should believe in me the way that you do

[04:42.02] 'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh

[04:48.77] If I walked on water, I would drown

[04:57.52] 'Cause I'm just a man

[04:58.27] But as long as I got a mic, I'm godlike

[05:00.27] So me and you are not alike

[05:02.03] Bitch, I wrote "Stan"
