Chords with lyrics
CHORUS:
C majorC C7C7 A minorAm
I walk on water
DmDm G+G
But I ain't no Jesus
C majorC C7C7 A minorAm
I walk on water
DmDm G+G
But only when it freezes (fuck)
VERSE:
A minorAm
Why, are expectations so high?
A minorAm
Is it the bar I set?
FF
My arms, I stretch, but I can’t reach
C majorC
A augmentedA far cry from it, or it's in my grasp, but as
A minorAm
Soon as I grab, squeeze
A minorAm
I lose my grip like the flying trapeze
Into the dark, I plummet
FF
Now the sky's blackening, I know the mark’s high
C majorC
Butterflies rip apart my stomach
DmDm
Knowing that no matter what bars I come with
You're gonna harp, gripe,
And that's a hard Vicodin to swallow
FF
So I scrap these, as pressure increases, like khakis
G+G
I feel the ice cracking, because
CHORUS:
C majorC C7C7 A minorAm
I walk on water
DmDm G+G
But I ain't no Jesus
C majorC C7C7 A minorAm
I walk on water
DmDm G+G
But only when it freezes (fuck)
VERSE:
A minorAm
It's the curse of the standard
A minorAm
That the first of the Mathers disc set
A minorAm
Always in search of the verse that I haven't spit yet
FF
Will this step just be another misstep
C majorC
To tarnish whatever the legacy,
A minorAm
Love or respect I've garnered?
A minorAm
The rhyme has to be perfect, the delivery flawless
FF
And it always feels like I'm hitting the mark
C majorC
’Til I go sit in the car, listen, and pick it apart
DmDm
Like, "this shit is garbage"
DmDm
God’s given me all this
DmDm
Still I feel no different regardless
FF
Kids look to me like as a god, this is retarded
G+G
If only they knew, it's a facade and it’s exhaustive
DmDm
And I try to not listen to nonsense
DmDm
But if you bitches are trying
DmDm
To strip me of my confidence
FF
Mission accomplished
FF
I'm not God-sent
G+G
Nas, Rakim, Pac, B.I.G.,
C majorC
James Todd Smith, and I'm not Prince, so…
CHORUS:
C majorC C7C7 A minorAm
I walk on water
DmDm G+G
But I ain't no Jesus
C majorC C7C7 A minorAm
I walk on water
DmDm G+G
But only when it freezes (fuck)
FF G+G A minorAm
’Cause I'm only human, just like you
C majorC FF G+G A minorAm
Making my mistakes, oh if you only knew
C majorC FF
I don't think you should believe
G+G A minorAm
In me the way that you do
C/EC/E FF G+G
'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh
VERSE:
A minorAm
It's true, I'm a Rubik's, a beautiful mess
A minorAm FF
At times juvenile, yes, I goof and I jest
FF
A augmentedA flawed human, I guess
C majorC
But I'm doing my best to not ruin your ex-
A minorAm
Pectations and meet 'em,
But first, the "Speedom" verse
A minorAm
Now, Big Sean, he's going too fast
FF
Is he gonna shout or curse out his mom?
FF C majorC
There was a time I had the world
C majorC
By the balls, eating out my palm
DmDm
Every album, song I was spazzin' the fuck out on
DmDm
And now I'm getting clowned and frowned on
FF
But the only one who's
FF G+G
Looking down on me that matters now's Deshaun
G+G
A minorAm I lucky to be around this long?
DmDm
Begs the question, though
Especially after the methadone
FF
As yesterday fades and the Dresden home
Is burnt to the ground
G+G
And all that's left of my house is lawn
A minorAm
The crowds are gone
A minorAm
And it's time to wash out the blonde
Sales decline, the curtains drawn
FF
They're closing the set,
FF
I'm still poking my head out from behind
C majorC A minorAm
And everyone who has doubt, remind
A minorAm
Now take your best rhyme, outdo it,
A minorAm FF
Now do it a thousand times
FF C majorC
Now let 'em tell ya the world no longer cares
Or gives a fuck about your rhymes
DmDm
And as I grow outta sight,
DmDm
Outta mind, I might go outta mine
FF
'Cause how do I, ever let this mic go without a fight
G+G
When I made a fuckin' tightrope outta twine?
DmDm
But when I do fall from these heights,
DmDm
Though, I'll be fine
FF
I won't pout or cry or spiral down or whine
G+G
But I'll decide if it's my final bow this time
G+G
Around 'cause...
CHORUS:
C majorC C7C7 A minorAm
I walk on water
DmDm G+G
But I ain't no Jesus
C majorC C7C7 A minorAm
I walk on water
DmDm G+G
But only when it freezes (fuck)
FF G+G A minorAm
’Cause I'm only human, just like you
C majorC FF G+G A minorAm
Making my mistakes, oh if you only knew
C majorC FF
I don't think you should believe
G+G A minorAm
In me the way that you do
C/EC/E FF G+G
'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh
OUTRO:
C majorC C7C7 FF C majorC
If I walked on water, I would drown
'Cause I'm just a man,
But as long as I got a mic I'm godlike
So me and you are not alike
Bitch, I wrote "Stan"
