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