Lyrics Walk On Water (feat. Beyoncé) - Eminem , Beyoncé

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 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 blackenin'
I know the mark's high, butterflies 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 (it's the curse of the-, it's the curse of the-)
I walk on water
But only when it freezes

It's the curse of the standard, that the first of the Mather's disc 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 sh- is garbage," God's given me all this
Still, I feel no different regardless
Kids look to me as a god, this is re-
If only they knew, it's a facade and it's exhaustive

And I try not to listen to nonsense
But if you - 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 (it's true, I'm a Rubik's, it's true)
But only when it freezes (it's true)

'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 going too fast, is he gonna shout or curse out his mom?

There was a time I had the world by the balls, eating 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 curtains drawn
They're closing the set, I'm still poking my head from out behind
And everyone who has doubt, remind

Now take your best rhyme, out do 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 - 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
