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 cant 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 flyin' 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
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
I walk on water
But only when it freezes
It's the curse of the standard
That the first of the Mathers discs 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
Ive 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 *** 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
But only when it freezes
'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
expectations 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
'Cause I'm just a man
But as long as I got a mic, I'm godlike
So me and you are not alike
Bitch, I wrote "Stan"
