Beautiful

[00:00.90] Lately I've been hard to reach

[00:03.91] I've been too long on my own

[00:07.64] Everybody has a private world

[00:10.13] Where they can be alone

[00:14.64] Are you calling me, are you trying to get through

[00:21.37] Are you reaching out for me, and I'm reaching out for you

[00:29.14] I'm just so fuckin' depressed

[00:30.90] I just can't seem to get out this slump

[00:32.39] If I could just get over this hump

[00:34.16] But I need something to pull me out this dump

[00:36.13] I took my bruises, took my lumps

[00:37.90] Fell down and I got right back up

[00:39.39] But I need that spark to get psyched back up

[00:41.38] In order for me to pick that mic back up

[00:43.37] I don't know how or why or when

[00:45.39] And I ended up in this position I'm in

[00:47.13] I starting to feel distant again

[00:48.65] So I decided just to pick this pen

[00:50.65] Up and tried to make an attempt to vent, but I just can't admit

[00:54.38] Or come to grips, with the fact that

[00:56.14] I may be done with rap, I need a new outlet

[00:57.64] I know some shits so hard to swallow

[00:59.89] And I just can't sit back and wallow

[01:01.64] In my own sorrow, but I know one fact

[01:04.13] I'll be one tough act to follow

[01:05.67] One tough act to follow, copy, one tough act to follow

[01:07.14] Here today, gone tomorrow

[01:08.88] But you have to walk a thousand miles

[01:12.90] In my shoes, just to see

[01:14.38] What it'd be like, to be me

[01:16.13] I'll be you, let's trade shoes

[01:17.89] Just to see what I'd be like to

[01:20.13] Feel your pain, you feel mine

[01:21.63] Go inside each other's mind

[01:23.38] Just to see what we find

[01:25.37] Look at shit through each other's eyes

[01:27.39] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh

[01:34.63] They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you so

[01:42.13] Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh

[01:48.88] They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you so

[01:56.14] I think I'm starting to lose my sense of humor

[01:57.89] Everything is so tense and gloom

[01:59.87] I almost feel like I gotta check the temperature in the room

[02:02.65] Just as soon as I walk in

[02:04.12] It's like all eyes on me, so I try to avoid any eye contact

[02:06.88] Cause if I do that then it opens a door to conversation, like I want that

[02:10.62] I'm not looking for extra attention

[02:12.63] I just want to be just like you

[02:14.38] Blend in with the rest of the room

[02:15.88] Maybe just point me to the closest restroom

[02:17.39] I don't need no fucking manservant

[02:19.62] Follow me around, and wiping my ass

[02:21.63] Laugh at every single joke I crack

[02:23.40] And half of 'em ain't even funny like

[02:25.63] Haha Marshall, you're so funny man, you should be a comedian, god damn

[02:29.14] Unfortunately I am, but I just hide behind the tears of a clown

[02:32.62] So why don't you all sit down

[02:34.38] Listen to the tale I'm about to tell

[02:36.63] Hell, we don't have to trade our shoes

[02:39.15] And you don't have to walk no thousand miles

[02:40.39] In my shoes, just to see

[02:43.61] What it'd be like, to be me

[02:45.40] I'll be you, let's trade shoes

[02:45.65] Just to see what I'd be like to

[02:47.13] Feel your pain, you feel mine

[02:48.87] Go inside each other's mind

[02:50.65] Just to see what we find

[02:52.62] Look at shit through each other's eyes

[02:54.89] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh

[03:01.88] They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you so so

[03:07.15] Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh

[03:16.63] They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you

[03:23.64] Nobody asked for life to deal us

[03:25.40] With these bullshit hands we're dealt

[03:27.12] We gotta take these cards ourselves

[03:29.13] Flip them, don't expect no help, now I could have either just

[03:30.87] Sat on my ass and pissed and moaned

[03:36.62] But take this situation in which I'm placed in

[03:38.13] And get up and get my own, I was never the type of kid

[03:39.87] To wait but I know to unpack his bags

[03:41.64] Never sat on the porch and hoped and prayed

[03:44.37] For a dad to show up who never did

[03:45.37] I just wanted to fit in, every single place, every school I went

[03:48.37] I dreamed of being that cool kid

[03:50.62] Even if it meant acting stupid, Aunt Edna always told me

[03:53.37] Keep making that face till it gets stuck like that

[03:56.12] Meanwhile I'm just standing there

[03:57.87] Holding my tongue up trying to talk like this

[03:59.38] Till I stuck my tongue on the frozen stop sign pole at eight years old

[04:03.38] I learned my lesson and cause I wasn't tryin to impress my friends no more

[04:06.12] But I already told you my whole life story

[04:08.88] Not just based on my description

[04:10.87] Cause where you see it from where you're sitting

[04:12.87] Is probably a hundred and ten percent different

[04:16.12] I guess we would have to walk a mile

[04:18.14] In each other's shoes, at least

[04:18.63] What size you where? I wear tens

[04:19.88] Let's see if you can fit your feet

[04:21.87] In my shoes, just to see

[04:23.63] What it'd be like, to be me

[04:25.38] I'll be you, let's trade shoes

[04:27.11] Just to see what I'd be like to

[04:29.12] Feel your pain, you feel mine

[04:30.63] Go inside each other's mind

[04:32.61] Just to see what we find

[04:34.37] Look at shit through each other's eyes

[04:36.14] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh

[04:42.61] They can all get fucked, just stay true to you so

[04:50.88] Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh

[04:58.11] They can all get fucked, just stay true to you so

[05:06.37] Lately I've been hard to reach

[05:08.87] I've been too long on my own

[05:12.87] Everybody has a private world

[05:15.61] Where they can be alone

[05:19.38] Are you calling me, are you trying to get through

[05:23.35] Are you reaching out for me, and I'm reaching out for you

[05:35.86] Yea, to my babies. Stay strong. Daddy will be home soon

[05:43.36] And to the rest of the world, God gave you the shoes

[05:47.12] That fit you, so put em on and wear 'em

[05:50.61] And be yourself man, be proud of who you are

[05:55.12] Even if it sounds corny,

[05:58.39] Don't ever let no one tell you, you ain't beautiful
