I walk on water
But I ain't no Jesus
I walk on water
But only when it freezes
[Verse 1]
Why, our expectations so high?
Is it the bar I set? My arms I stretch?
But I can't reach, a far cry from it
Or is it in my grasp, but it
Soon as I grab, squeeze
I lose my grip like the flying trapeze
In to the dark I plummet
Now the sky’s blackening
I know the marks high, but it
But the flies rip apart my stomach
Knowin' that no matter what bars I come with you're gonna harp right then
That's a hard vicoden to swallow
So I scrapped these
As pressure increases, like khaki’s
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
[Verse 2]
It's the curse of the standard
That verse of the Mathers disk step
Always in search of the verse that I haven't spit yet
Will this step be another misstep
To tarnish whatever legacy, love or respect
I've garnered the rhyme has to be perfect, the delivery flawless
And it always I'm hitting the mark until I go sit in a car, listen, and pick it apart
Like "this shit is garbage"
God's given me all this, still I feel no different regardless
Kid's look to me like a god, this is retarded
If only they knew it's a facade and it's exhaustive
And I try to not listen to nonsense
But if you bitches are trying to strip me of my confidence
Mission accomplished
I’m not god sent
Pac, Kim, Big, James, Tod Smith
And I’m not Prince
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
[Verse 3]
It's true, I'm a rubix
A beautiful mess
At times jubilant, yes
I goof and I jest
A flawed human I guess
But I’m doing my best to not ruin your expectations and meet 'em
But first, the "Speedom" verse
Now, Big Sean, he's going to fast
Is he gonna shout or curse out his mom?
There was a time I had the world by the balls eating outta my palm
Every album song I was spazzing the fuck out upon and now I'm getting clowned and frowned on
But the only one looking down on me now is the only one that matters, now's Deshaun
Am I lucky to be around this long?
Begs the question, though
Especially after the methadone
After yesterday fades in the Dresden home that's burnt to the ground
And all that's left of my house is the lawn
The crowds are gone, and it's time to wash out the blonde
Sales decline, they closed the curtain to the set
I'm still poking my head out from behind
And everyone has doubt remind
Now take your best rhyme, outdo it
Outdo it a thousand times
Now let the world tell you no one gives a fuck about your rhyme
Cause how do I, let this mic go
But when I do fall from these heights I'll be fine
I won't pout or cry
But I'll decide if
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
If I walked on water, I would drown
N.C.
'Cause I'm just a man
N.C.
But as long as I got a mic I'm godlike
N.C.
'Cause you and I are both alike
N.C.
Bitch, I wrote "Stan"
