[00:01.28] I walk on water [00:07.18] But I ain't no Jesus [00:11.80] I walk on water [00:17.80] But only when it freezes (fuck) [00:22.56] Why are expectations so high? Is it the bar I set? [00:27.63] My arms, I stretch, but I can't reach [00:29.96] A far cry from it, or it's in my grasp, but as [00:32.22] Soon as I grab, squeeze [00:34.25] I lose my grip like the flying trapeze [00:36.95] Into the dark I plummet, now the sky's blackening [00:39.48] I know the mark's high, butter– [00:41.27] Flies rip apart my stomach [00:42.66] Knowin' that no matter what bars I come with [00:45.07] You're gonna harp, gripe, and [00:46.56] That's a hard Vicodin to swallow, so I scrap these [00:49.52] As pressure increases like khakis [00:52.71] I feel the ice cracking, because— [00:54.95] I walk on water [01:00.44] But I ain't no Jesus [01:03.98] (It's the curse of the— it's the curse of the—) [01:05.65] I walk on water (Shit) [01:11.19] But only when it freezes [01:15.32] It's the curse of the standard [01:16.99] That the first of the Mathers discs set [01:18.93] Always in search of the verse that I haven't spit yet [01:21.48] Will this step just be another misstep [01:24.05] To tarnish whatever the legacy, love or respect [01:27.23] I've garnered? The rhyme has to be perfect, the delivery flawless [01:31.77] And it always feels like I'm hittin' the mark [01:34.47] 'Til I go sit in the car, listen and pick it apart [01:37.05] Like, "This shit is garbage!" [01:38.96] God's given me all this, still I feel no different regardless [01:42.46] Kids look to me as a god, this is retarded [01:45.25] If only they knew, it's a facade and it's exhaustive [01:48.16] And I try not to listen to nonsense [01:50.32] But if you bitches are tryin' to strip me of my confidence [01:52.89] Mission accomplished [01:54.33] I'm not God-sent, Nas, Rakim, 'Pac, B.I.G., James Todd Smith [01:58.05] And I'm not Prince, so... [01:59.34] I walk on water [02:04.68] But I ain't no Jesus [02:09.13] I walk on water [02:13.32] (It's true, I'm a Rubik's— it's true—) [02:15.54] But only when it freezes [02:18.10] (It's true—) [02:19.18] 'Cause I'm only human, just like you [02:23.68] Making my mistakes, oh if you only knew [02:28.62] I don't think you should believe in me the way that you do [02:34.13] 'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh [02:40.82] It's true, I'm a Rubik's—a beautiful mess [02:44.01] At times juvenile, yes, I goof and I jest [02:47.29] A flawed human, I guess [02:49.61] But I'm doin' my best to not ruin your ex– [02:52.13] Pectations and meet 'em, but first [02:54.07] The "Speedom" verse, now Big Sean [02:55.95] He's goin' too fast, is he gonna shout or curse out his mom? [02:58.62] There was a time I had the world by the balls, eatin' out my palm [03:02.42] Every album song I was spazzin' the fuck out on [03:05.18] And now I'm gettin' clowned and frowned on [03:07.49] But the only one who's looking down on [03:09.60] Me that matters now's DeShaun [03:11.53] Am I lucky to be around this long? [03:14.46] Begs the question though [03:16.36] Especially after the methadone [03:17.89] As yesterday fades and the Dresden home [03:20.02] Is burnt to the ground and all that's left of my house is lawn [03:23.18] The crowds are gone [03:25.38] And it's time to wash out the blonde [03:27.36] Sales decline, the curtain's drawn [03:29.63] They're closin' the set, I'm still pokin' my head from out behind [03:32.43] And everyone who has doubt, remind [03:35.74] 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 [03:43.35] Or gives a fuck about your rhymes [03:46.39] And as I grow outta site, outta mind, I might go outta mine [03:49.98] 'Cause how do I ever let this mic go without a fight [03:53.53] When I made a fuckin' tightrope outta twine? [03:57.76] But when I do fall from these heights though, I'll be fine [04:00.70] I won't pout or cry or spiral down or whine [04:03.57] But I'll decide if it's my final bow this time around, 'cause— [04:06.38] I walk on water [04:12.41] But I ain't no Jesus [04:17.17] I walk on water [04:23.21] But only when it freezes [04:26.55] 'Cause I'm only human, just like you [04:31.44] I've been making my mistakes, oh if you only knew [04:36.65] I don't think you should believe in me the way that you do [04:41.87] 'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh [04:48.57] If I walked on water, I would drown [04:56.94] 'Cause I'm just a man [04:58.47] But as long as I got a mic, I'm godlike [05:00.67] So me and you are not alike [05:02.48] Bitch, I wrote "Stan" [05:03.13]
