Eminem - Walk On Water ft. Beyoncé


Letra

I walk on water
But I ain't no Jesus
I walk on water
But only when it freezes (fuck)

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 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 marks hide butter
Flies rip apart my stomach
Knowing that no matter what bars I come with
You're gonna hark, 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 disk set
Always in search of the verse that 
I haven't spit yet
Will this step just 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 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 as a god
This is retarded
If only they knew, it's a facade 
And it's exhaustive
And I try not to 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

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 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 walls
By the balls, eating out my palm
Every album, song I was spazzin' the fuck out on
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
After yesterday fades in the Dresden home
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, the curtains drawn
They're closing the set
But I'm still poking my head out from behind
And everyone has doubt, remind
Now take your best rhyme, outdo it
and outdo 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 out of 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' tight rope 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 you do
Cause I'm terrified to let you down

If I walked on water, I would drown
'Cause I'm just a man
But as long as I got a mic
I'm godlike
So me and you are not alike
Bitch, I wrote "Stan"
