Walking On Water Lyrics – DIVINE | Walking On Water [EP]

The Big Picture

The song title, “Walking On Water”… right away, you get it. It’s this impossible thing, a miracle. And that’s exactly the point. For Divine, coming from where he did, making it in rap wasn’t just difficult, it was supposed to be impossible. The title frames the whole song as this defiant, almost spiritual boast. It’s not just about success, it’s about achieving something that everyone, maybe even himself at one point, thought couldn’t be done. Like he’s transcended the very ground rules of the game, you know? He’s not just playing in the water, he’s walking on it.

Most Impactful Lines

Okay, so the verse that always, always makes me rewind is that early bit: “umar saat saal kuch nahin aasaan, har hafta andhera, dekha nahin saath chaand”. I mean, just sit with that. “Age seven, nothing was easy. Every week was darkness, didn’t see the moon for company.” That’s not just saying he had a tough childhood. It’s painting this visceral picture of a kind of loneliness and struggle that’s so heavy for a kid. You don’t just hear it, you feel that gloom. And then immediately, he hits you with the pressure: “bhai bola baat maan, rap nahin aasaan, jaakar kuch aur kaam”. His own brother telling him to give up, to get a real job. That conflict is so real… it’s the seed of everything. That moment where you have to choose between the dream everyone thinks is crazy and the safe path.

Decoding The Chorus

We all shout the chorus, right? But it’s this genius, repetitive rhetorical question. Let’s break it down. “Pahale daravaaja toda” – “Who broke the door down first?” He’s talking about breaking into the industry, being a pioneer. “Poore game ko sambhaala” – “Who held the whole game together?” That’s about stewardship, carrying the culture when it was still niche. “10 saal se macha raha” – “Who’s been causing a ruckus for 10 years?” The longevity, the consistent grind. And the knockout: “Rap ka asli messiah” – “The real messiah of rap.” And after each claim, that tag: “Kaun hai? Yaad nahin kya?” “Who is it? Don’t you remember?” It’s not really a question. It’s a reminder. He’s listing his resume, but in a way that’s saying, “I did these foundational things, and if you’ve forgotten, let me remind you.” The repetition turns it from a brag into a mantra, into a statement of fact that’s been earned.

Most Relatable Part

For me, the most human part, the one that stings a little, is right after that heavy childhood memory. When he says, “main poocha last chance”. “I asked for one last chance.” After all the darkness, after the family pressure, he doesn’t just arrogantly blast forward. He asks. There’s a vulnerability there. It’s that moment of self-doubt, that plea to the universe or to himself, for just one more shot to prove it. It makes everything that comes after feel earned, not given. We’ve all had that internal conversation, that “just let me try one more time” prayer. That line grounds the whole epic “walking on water” thing in a real, relatable struggle.

Conclusion & Overall Message

So what’s it all leaving you with? To me, the song isn’t just a victory lap. It’s a testament. It’s connecting the dots from the dark room of a seven-year-old to standing on top of the water. The message is about creating your own miracles through pure, relentless grind. When he chants “son walking on water” at the end, it’s layered. It’s a declaration of his status, sure, but it also feels like he’s talking to every kid from the gully who’s been told their dream is impossible. The takeaway is that the miracle isn’t something that happens to you. You build it yourself, brick by brick, bar by bar, until you look down and realize you’re not sinking anymore… you’re walking. And yeah, that feeling, that’s why I keep hitting replay.
