C F7sus4 G
I walk on water
BmA
But I ain't no Jesus
C F7sus4 G
I walk on water
BmA
But only when it freezes
[Verse 1]BmD
Why, our expectations so high?
G
Is it the bar I set? My arms I stretch?
F#m
But I can't reach, a far cry from it
Bm
Or is it in my grasp, but it
D
Soon as I grab, squeeze
GF#m
I lose my grip like the flying trapeze
Bm
In to the dark I plummet
D
Now the sky’s blackening
G
I know the marks high, but it
F#m
But the flies rip apart my stomach
BmDG
Knowin' that no matter what bars I come with you're gonna harp right then
F#m
That's a hard vicoden to swallow
Bm
So I scrapped these
DG
As pressure increases, like khaki’s
F#m
I feel the ice cracking, because
[Chorus]C F7sus4 G
I walk on water
BmA
But I ain't no Jesus
C F7sus4 G
I walk on water
BmA
But only when it freezes
[Verse 2]Bm
It's the curse of the standard
D
That verse of the Mathers disk step
GF#m
Always in search of the verse that I haven't spit yet
Bm
Will this step be another misstep
DG
To tarnish whatever legacy, love or respect
F#m
I've garnered the rhyme has to be perfect, the delivery flawless
BmD
And it always I'm hitting the mark until I go sit in a car, listen, and pick it apart
GF#m
Like "this shit is garbage"
BmD
God's given me all this, still I feel no different regardless
G
Kid's look to me like a god, this is retarded
F#m
If only they knew it's a facade and it's exhaustive
Bm
And I try to not listen to nonsense
D
But if you bitches are trying to strip me of my confidence
G
Mission accomplished
F#m
I’m not god sent
BmDG
Pac, Kim, Big, James, Tod Smith
F#m
And I’m not Prince
[Chorus]C F7sus4 G
I walk on water
BmA
But I ain't no Jesus
C F7sus4 G
I walk on water
BmA
But only when it freezes
[Bridge]BmG
Cause I'm only human, just like you
DA
Making my mistakes, oh if you only knew
BmG
I don’t think you should believe in me the way that you do
DA
Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh
[Verse 3]Bm
It's true, I'm a rubix
D
A beautiful mess
G
At times jubilant, yes
F#m
I goof and I jest
Bm
A flawed human I guess
BmDG
But I’m doing my best to not ruin your expectations and meet 'em
F#m
But first, the "Speedom" verse
Bm
Now, Big Sean, he's going to fast
D
Is he gonna shout or curse out his mom?
GF#m
There was a time I had the world by the balls eating outta my palm
BmD
Every album song I was spazzing the fuck out upon and now I'm getting clowned and frowned on
GF#m
But the only one looking down on me now is the only one that matters, now's Deshaun
Bm
Am I lucky to be around this long?
D
Begs the question, though
G
Especially after the methadone
F#mBm
After yesterday fades in the Dresden home that's burnt to the ground
D
And all that's left of my house is the lawn
GF#m
The crowds are gone, and it's time to wash out the blonde
BmD
Sales decline, they closed the curtain to the set
G
I'm still poking my head out from behind
F#m
And everyone has doubt remind
Bm
Now take your best rhyme, outdo it
D
Outdo it a thousand times
GF#m
Now let the world tell you no one gives a fuck about your rhyme
Bm
Cause how do I, let this mic go
D
But when I do fall from these heights I'll be fine
G
I won't pout or cry
F#m
But I'll decide if
[Chorus]C F7sus4 G
I walk on water
BmA
But I ain't no Jesus
C F7sus4 G
I walk on water
BmA
But only when it freezes
[Bridge]BmG
Cause I'm only human, just like you
DA
Making my mistakes, oh if you only knew
BmG
I don’t think you should believe in me the way that you do
DA
Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh
[Outro]C F7sus4 GBm
If I walked on water, I would drown
N.C.
'Cause I'm just a man
N.C.
But as long as I got a mic I'm godlike
N.C.
'Cause you and I are both alike
N.C.
Bitch, I wrote "Stan"
