Walk On Water Lyrics - Eminem

[Chorus: Beyoncé & Eminem] 

I walk on water 

But I ain't 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 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 sky's 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—

[Chorus: Beyoncé & Eminem] 

I walk on water 

But I ain't no Jesus 

I walk on water (shit) 

But only when it freezes 

[Verse 2: Eminem] 

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 

I've garnered? The rhyme has to be perfect, the delivery flawless 

And it always feels like I'm hittin' the mark 

'Til I go sit in the car, listen and pick it apart 

Like, "This shit 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...

[Chorus: Beyoncé] 

I walk on water 

But I ain't no Jesus 

I walk on water 

But only when it freezes 

[Post-Chorus: Beyoncé] 

'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 

[Verse 3: Eminem] 

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 ex- 

pectations 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 fuck 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 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, 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— 

[Chorus: Beyoncé] 

I walk on water 

But I ain't no Jesus 

I walk on water 

But only when it freezes 

[Post-Chorus: Beyoncé] 

'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 

[Outro: Eminem] 

'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"
