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