“Walk on Water” details the struggle Eminem endured during the later half of his career. Since his comeback in 2009, his critics have showed disinterest in Eminem’s presence this time around. Eminem addresses such criticism in a December 2017 interview with Complex, where he states I don’t know, that song was more about just self-doubt, insecurities, that kind of shit. I’ve never really seen myself as, how can I say…The way I’ve seen some fans act towards me. Even to this day, I’ve been in this game a long time and it’s still weird to me, because I just rap and I certainly haven’t had a perfect career. I’ve put out some not-so-great albums and I realize that. The phrase “Walk[ing] on water” is used to express a miraculous display of power, as it originates from Matthew 1422-33 where it’s told that Jesus literally walked across water to get to a boat filled with his disciples. Ironically, the phrase is used in the song to express the opposite. Though a celebrity as big as Em seemingly “walks on water”, he admits throughout each verse that he isn’t comparable to the godlike figure people think he is.

Eminem s'est entourée des plus grands producteurs du momentI walk on water But I ain’t no Jesus I walk on water But only when it freezes fuck 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 flyin’ trapeze Into the dark I plummet, now the sky’s blackenin’ I know the mark’s high, butterflies rip apart my stomach Knowin’ 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 shit 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 hittin’ 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 tryin’ to strip me of my confidence Mission accomplished I’m not God-sent Nas, Rakim, Pac, 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 doin’ 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 world by the balls, eating out my palm Every album song I was spazzin’ the fuck out on And now I’m gettin’ 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 I’ve been 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 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”Iwalk on water .
