C Bm       Am
  I walk on water,
Dm7               Bm
  But I ain't no Jesus.
  C Bm       Am
  I walk on water,
Dm7                   Bm
  But only when it freezes.


[Verse 1] 
  Am
  Why are expectations so high? Is it the bar I set?
          F
  My arms, I stretch, but I can't reach
            C
  A far cry from it, or it's in my grasp, but as
                  Am
  Soon as I grab, squeeze

  I lose my grip like the flying trapeze
                                   F
  Into the dark I plummet, now the sky's blackening

  I know the mark's high
              C
  Butterflies rip apart my stomach
                              Dm7
  Knowing that no matter what bars I come with

  You're gonna harp, gripe, and
                                               F
  That's a hard Vicodin to swallow, so I scrap these
                             Bm
  As pressure increases like khakis

  I feel the ice cracking, because€...


[Chorus]
  C Bm       Am
  I walk on water
Dm7                 Bm
  But I ain't no Jesus
  C Bm       Am
  I walk on water
Dm7                     Bm
  But only when it freezes


[Verse 2]
           Am
  It's the curse of the standard
N.C
  That the first of the Mathers disc set

  Always in search of the verse that I haven't spit yet
 F                                        C
  Will this step just be another misstep, to tarnish
                                      Am
  Whatever the legacy, love or respect I've garnered?

  The rhyme has to be perfect, the delivery flawless
 F
  And it always feels like I'm hittin' the mark
            C
  'Til I go sit in the car, listen and pick it apart
         Dm7
  Like, "This shit is garbage!"

  Bmod's given me all this, still I feel no different regardless
       F
  Kids look to me as a god, this is retarded
               Bm
  If only they knew, it's a facade and it's exhaustive
Dm7
  And I try to not listen to nonsense
N.C
  But if you bitches are tryin' to strip me of my confidence

  Mission accomplished
 F                         Bm
  I'm not Bmod-sent, Nas, Rakim, Pac, B.I.Bm., James Todd Smith

  And I'm not Prince, so...


[Chorus]
  C Bm       Am
  I walk on water
Dm7                 Bm
  But I ain't no Jesus
  C Bm       Am
  I walk on water
Dm7                     Bm
  But only when it freezes
                  F      Bm        Am
  'Cause I'm only human, just like you
  C            F            Bm        Am
  Making my mistakes, oh if you only knew
          C                F                 Bm            Am
  I don't think you should believe in me the way that you do
             Em   F               Bm
  'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh


[Verse 3]
       Am
  It's true, I'm a Rubik's, a beautiful mess

  At times juvenile, yes, I goof and I jest
 F
  A flawed human, I guess
 C
  But I'm doin' my best to not ruin your ex-
Am
  pectations and meet 'em, but first

  The "Speedom" verse, now Big Sean
                                            F
  He's going too fast, is he gonna shout or curse out his mom?
                             C
  There was a time I had the world by the balls, eating out my palm
        Am
  Every album song I was spazzin' the fuck out on

  And now I'm gettin' clowned and frowned on
               F
  But the only one who's looking down on
                        C
  Me that matters now's DeShaun

  Am I lucky to be around this long?
Am
  Begs the question though

  Especially after the methadone
               F
  As yesterday fades and the Dresden home
                              C
  Is burnt to the ground, and all that's left of my house is lawn
                 Am
  The crowds are gone

  And it's time to wash out the blonde
                              F
  Sales decline, the curtains drawn
                                                               C
  They're closing the set, I'm still poking my head from out behind
                                     Am
  And everyone who has doubt, remind
                                                                 F
  Now take your best rhyme, outdo it, now do it a thousand times
                                          C                                       Dm7
  Now let 'em tell ya the world no longer cares or gives a fuck about your rhymes

  And as I grow outta sight, outta mind, I might go outta mine
         F                                             Bm
  'Cause how do I ever let this mic go without a fight
                                               Am
  When I made a fuckin' tightrope outta twine?

  But when I do fall from these heights though, I'll be fine
          F
  I won't pout or cry or spiral down or whine
           Bm
  But I'll decide if it's my final bow this time around, 'cause


[Chorus]
  C Bm       Am
  I walk on water
Dm7                 Bm
  But I ain't no Jesus
  C Bm       Am
  I walk on water
Dm7                     Bm
  But only when it freezes
                  F      Bm         A
  'Cause I'm only human, just like you
            C            F            Bm        A
  I've been making my mistakes, oh if you only knew
          C                F                 Bm            A
  I don't think you should believe in me the way that you do
             Em   F               Bm
  'Cause I'm terrified to let you down, oh
     C Bm         Am             C
  If I walked on water, I would drown


[Outro] 
N.C
'Cause I'm just a man
N.C
But as long as I got a mic, I'm godlike
N.C
So me and you are not alike
N.C
Bitch, I wrote "Stan"
