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