Beautiful

[00:01.12] Lately I've been hard to reach

[00:03.62] I've been too long on my own

[00:06.87] Everybody has a private world

[00:09.86] Where they can be alone

[00:14.13] 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

[00:28.87] I'm just so fuckin' depressed

[00:30.61] I just can't seem to get out this slump

[00:32.36] If I could just get over this hump

[00:34.11] But I need something to pull me out this dump

[00:35.87] I took my bruises, took my lumps

[00:37.61] Fell down and I got right back up

[00:39.36] But I need that spark to get psyched back up

[00:41.36] In order for me to pick that mic back up

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

[00:45.11] And I ended up in this position I'm in

[00:46.86] I starting to feel distant again

[00:48.36] So I decided just to pick this pen

[00:50.36] Up and tried to make an attempt to vent, but I just can't admit

[00:53.14] Or come to grips, with the fact that

[00:55.86] I may be done with rap, I need a new outlet

[00:57.61] I know some shits so hard to swallow

[00:59.37] And I just can't sit back and wallow

[01:01.36] In my own sorrow, but I know one fact

[01:03.36] I'll be one tough act to follow

[01:05.62] One tough act to follow, copy, one tough act to follow

[01:10.12] Here today, gone tomorrow

[01:11.12] But you have to walk a thousand miles

[01:12.12] In my shoes, just to see

[01:13.88] What it'd be like, to be me

[01:16.12] I'll be you, let's trade shoes

[01:17.86] Just to see what I'd be like to

[01:19.61] Feel your pain, you feel mine

[01:21.37] Go inside each other's mind

[01:23.37] Just to see what we find

[01:25.12] Look at shit through each other's eyes

[01:26.86] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh

[01:33.86] They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you so

[01:41.12] Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh

[01:49.11] They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you so

[01:55.86] I think I'm starting to lose my sense of humor

[01:57.37] Everything is so tense and gloom

[01:59.38] I almost feel like I gotta check the temperature in the room

[02:02.12] Just as soon as I walk in

[02:04.61] It's like all eyes on me, so I try to avoid any eye contact

[02:06.61] Cause if I do that then it opens a door to conversation, like I want that

[02:09.62] I'm not looking for extra attention

[02:12.36] I just want to be just like you

[02:14.11] Blend in with the rest of the room

[02:15.87] Maybe just point me to the closest restroom

[02:17.86] I don't need no fucking manservant

[02:19.63] Follow me around, and wiping my ass

[02:21.37] Laugh at every single joke I crack

[02:23.12] 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

[02:28.87] Unfortunately I am, but I just hide behind the tears of a clown

[02:32.11] So why don't you all sit down

[02:33.86] Listen to the tale I'm about to tell

[02:35.88] Hell, we don't have to trade our shoes

[02:37.87] And you don't have to walk no thousand miles

[02:39.86] In my shoes, just to see

[02:41.36] What it'd be like, to be me

[02:43.36] I'll be you, let's trade shoes

[02:45.12] Just to see what I'd be like to

[02:46.87] Feel your pain, you feel mine

[02:48.86] Go inside each other's mind

[02:50.36] Just to see what we find

[02:52.61] Look at shit through each other's eyes

[02:54.37] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh

[03:01.37] They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you so so

[03:08.61] Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh

[03:15.87] They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you

[03:23.11] Nobody asked for life to deal us

[03:25.11] With these bullshit hands we're dealt

[03:27.11] We gotta take these cards ourselves

[03:29.12] Flip them, don't expect no help, now I could have either just

[03:32.36] Sat on my ass and pissed and moaned

[03:34.36] But take this situation in which I'm placed in

[03:36.11] And get up and get my own, I was never the type of kid

[03:39.37] To wait but I know to unpack his bags

[03:41.63] Never sat on the porch and hoped and prayed

[03:42.86] For a dad to show up who never did

[03:45.11] I just wanted to fit in, every single place, every school I went

[03:47.37] I dreamed of being that cool kid

[03:50.63] Even if it meant acting stupid, Aunt Edna always told me

[03:53.61] Keep making that face till it gets stuck like that

[03:55.87] Meanwhile I'm just standing there

[03:58.62] Holding my tongue up trying to talk like this

[03:59.87] Till I stuck my tongue on the frozen stop sign pole at eight years old

[04:02.12] I learned my lesson and cause I wasn't tryin to impress my friends no more

[04:06.61] But I already told you my whole life story

[04:08.61] Not just based on my description

[04:10.36] Cause where you see it from where you're sitting

[04:12.36] Is probably a hundred and ten percent different

[04:14.61] I guess we would have to walk a mile

[04:16.15] In each other's shoes, at least

[04:18.14] What size you where? I wear tens

[04:19.36] Let's see if you can fit your feet

[04:21.36] In my shoes, just to see

[04:23.61] What it'd be like, to be me

[04:25.12] I'll be you, let's trade shoes

[04:26.87] Just to see what I'd be like to

[04:28.62] Feel your pain, you feel mine

[04:30.62] Go inside each other's mind

[04:32.37] Just to see what we find

[04:34.12] Look at shit through each other's eyes

[04:36.61] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh

[04:43.36] They can all get fucked, just stay true to you so

[04:50.36] Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh

[04:57.86] They can all get fucked, just stay true to you so

[05:06.36] Lately I've been hard to reach

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

[05:12.61] Everybody has a private world

[05:15.61] Where they can be alone

[05:19.62] Are you calling me, are you trying to get through

[05:26.88] Are you reaching out for me, and I'm reaching out for you

[05:35.63] Yea, to my babies. Stay strong. Daddy will be home soon

[05:42.61] And to the rest of the world, God gave you the shoes

[05:47.36] That fit you, so put em on and wear 'em

[05:52.61] And be yourself man, be proud of who you are

[05:56.36] Even if it sounds corny,

[06:00.11] Don't ever let no one tell you, you ain't beautiful
