Текст песни Eminem - Walk On Water

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 flying trapeze, into the dark, I plummet
Now the sky's blackening, I know the mark's high
butterflies rip apart my stomach knowing 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 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 hitting 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 like as 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
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 doing my best to not ruin your ex-
pectations 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 fuck out on

and now I'm getting 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, 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

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..
'cause I'm just a man, but as long as I got a mic I'm godlike
N..
So me and you are not alike, bitch, I wrote "Stan"
