I walk on waterBut I ain't no JesusI walk on waterBut only when it freezes (fuck)Why are expectations so high?Is it the bar I set?My arms, I stretch, but I can't reachA far cry from it, or it's in my grasp, but asSoon as I grab, squeezeI lose my grip like the flyin' trapezeInto the dark I plummet, now the sky's blackeningI know the mark's high, butterflies rip apart my stomachKnowin' that no matter what bars I come withYou're gonna harp, gripe, andThat's a hard Vicodin to swallowso I scrap these, As pressure increases like khakisI feel the ice cracking, becauseI walk on waterBut I ain't no Jesus(It's the curse of the- it's the curse of the-)I walk on water (shit)But only when it freezesIt's the curse of the standardThat the first of the Mathers discs setAlways in search of the verse that I haven't spit yetWill this step just be another misstepTo tarnish whatever the legacyLove or respect, I've garnered?The rhyme has to be perfect, the delivery flawlessAnd it always feels like I'm hittin' the mark'Til I go sit in the car, listen and pick it apartLike, "This shit is garbage! "God's given me all thisStill I feel no different regardlessKids look to me as a god, this is retardedIf only they knew, it's a facade and it's exhaustiveAnd I try not to listen to nonsenseBut if you bitches are tryin' to strip me of my confidenceMission accomplishedI'm not God-sentNas, Rakim, 'Pac, B. I. G. , James Todd SmithAnd I'm not Prince, soI walk on waterBut I ain't no JesusI walk on waterBut only when it freezes'Cause I'm only human, just like youMaking my mistakes, oh if you only knewI don't think you should believe in me the way that you do'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, ohIt's true, I'm a Rubik's-a beautiful messAt times juvenile, yes, I goof and I jestA flawed human, I guessBut I'm doin' my best to not ruin yourYour expectations and meet 'em, but firstThe "Speedom" verse, now Big SeanHe's goin' too fast, is he gonna shout or curse out his mom?There was a time I had the world by the ballseatin' out my palmEvery album song I was spazzin' the fuck out onAnd now I'm gettin' clowned and frowned onBut the only one who's looking down onMe that matters now's DeshaunI lucky to be around this long?Begs the question thoughEspecially after the methadoneAs yesterday fades and the Dresden homeIs burnt to the ground, and all that's left of my house is lawnThe crowds are goneAnd it's time to wash out the blondeSales decline, the curtain's drawnThey're closin' the set, I'm still pokin' my head from out behindAnd everyone who has doubt, remindNow take your best rhyme, outdo itNow do it a thousand timesNow let 'em tell ya the world no longer caresor gives a fuck about your rhymesAnd as I grow outta site, outta mindI might go outta mine'Cause how do I ever let this mic go without a fightWhen I made a fuckin' tightrope outta twine?But when I do fall from these heights though, I'll be fineI won't pout or cry or spiral down or whineBut I'll decide if it's my final bow this time around, 'causeI walk on waterBut I ain't no JesusI walk on waterBut only when it freezes'Cause I'm only human, just like youI've been making my mistakes, oh if you only knewI don't think you should believe in me the way that you do'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, ohIf I walked on water, I would drown'Cause I'm just a manBut as long as I got a mic, I'm godlikeSo me and you are not alikeBitch, I wrote "Stan"
