Walk On Water (feat. Beyoncé)

[00:00.76] I walk on water
[00:07.12] But I ain't no Jesus
[00:11.29] I walk on water
[00:17.63] But only when it freezes (-)
[00:22.05] Why are expectations so high?
[00:25.74] Is it the bar I set?
[00:27.08] My arms, I stretch, but I can't reach
[00:29.33] A far cry from it, or it's in my grasp, but as
[00:31.92] Soon as I grab, squeeze
[00:33.94] I lose my grip like the flyin' trapeze
[00:36.21] Into the dark I plummet, now the sky's blackenin'
[00:38.88] I know the mark's high, butterflies rip apart my stomach
[00:42.17] Knowin' that no matter what bars I come with
[00:44.22] You're gonna harp, gripe, and that's a hard Vicodin to swallow
[00:47.93] So I scrap these, as pressure increases like khakis
[00:52.12] I feel the ice cracking because
[00:54.01] I walk on water
[01:00.59] But I ain't no Jesus (it's the curse of the-, it's the curse of the-)
[01:04.81] I walk on water
[01:11.03] But only when it freezes
[01:15.07] It's the curse of the standard, that the first of the Mather's disc set
[01:18.45] Always in search of the verse that I haven't spit yet
[01:21.32] Will this step just be another misstep
[01:23.32] To tarnish whatever the legacy, love, or respect
[01:26.99] I've garnered?
[01:28.30] The rhyme has to be perfect, the delivery flawless
[01:31.30] And it always feels like I'm hittin' the mark
[01:33.53] 'Til I go sit in the car, listen and pick it apart
[01:36.36] Like, "This sh- is garbage," God's given me all this
[01:39.86] Still, I feel no different regardless
[01:41.79] Kids look to me as a god, this is re-
[01:44.42] If only they knew, it's a facade and it's exhaustive
[01:47.48] And I try not to listen to nonsense
[01:49.58] But if you - are tryin' to strip me of my confidence
[01:52.06] Mission accomplished, I'm not God-sent
[01:54.83] Nas, Rakim, 'Pac, B.I.G., James Todd Smith and I'm not Prince, so
[01:58.33] I walk on water
[02:04.44] But I ain't no Jesus
[02:08.68] I walk on water (it's true, I'm a Rubik's, it's true)
[02:14.85] But only when it freezes (it's true)
[02:17.89] 'Cause I'm only human, just like you
[02:23.49] Making my mistakes, oh, if you only knew
[02:28.13] I don't think you should believe in me the way that you do
[02:33.66] 'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh
[02:40.40] It's true, I'm a Rubik's
[02:42.38] A beautiful mess, at times juvenile
[02:44.48] Yes, I goof and I jest
[02:47.51] A flawed human, I guess
[02:48.67] But I'm doin' my best
[02:50.11] To not ruin your expectations and meet 'em
[02:52.36] But first, the "Speedom" verse, now Big Sean
[02:54.84] He's going too fast, is he gonna shout or curse out his mom?
[02:58.25] There was a time I had the world by the balls, eating out my palm
[03:01.77] Every album song I was spazzin' the - out on
[03:04.77] And now I'm gettin' clowned and frowned on
[03:06.84] But the only one who's looking down on me that matters now's DeShaun
[03:10.78] Am I lucky to be around this long?
[03:14.47] Begs the question though, especially after the methadone
[03:17.28] As yesterday fades and the Dresden home is burnt to the ground
[03:20.23] And all that's left of my house is lawn
[03:22.64] The crowds are gone, and it's time to wash out the blonde
[03:26.58] Sales decline, the curtains drawn
[03:28.76] They're closing the set, I'm still poking my head from out behind
[03:32.32] And everyone who has doubt, remind
[03:35.67] Now take your best rhyme, out do it
[03:37.92] Now do it a thousand times
[03:40.36] Now let 'em tell ya the world no longer cares
[03:42.71] Or gives a - about your rhymes
[03:46.07] And as I grow outta sight, outta mind
[03:48.14] I might go outta mine
[03:49.86] 'Cause how do I ever let this mic go
[03:51.96] Without a fight when I made a - tightrope outta twine?
[03:57.11] But when I do fall from these heights though, I'll be fine
[04:00.19] I won't pout or cry or spiral down or whine
[04:02.93] But I'll decide if it's my final bow this time
[04:05.62] Around, 'cause
[04:06.07] I walk on water
[04:12.52] But I ain't no Jesus
[04:16.83] I walk on water
[04:23.14] But only when it freezes
[04:25.93] 'Cause I'm only human, just like you
[04:30.99] I've been making my mistakes, oh, if you only knew
[04:36.19] I don't think you should believe in me the way that you do
[04:41.60] 'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh
[04:48.46] If I walked on water, I would drown
[04:57.16]
