Beautiful
[00:00.36] Lately I've been hard to reach, I've been too long on my own
[00:07.37] Everybody has a private world where they can be alone
[00:14.13] Are you calling me? Are you trying to get through?
[00:20.89] Are you reaching out for me, like I'm reaching out for you?
[00:28.66] I'm just so fuckin' depressed, I just can't seem to get out this slump
[00:32.16] If I could just get over this hump
[00:33.92] But I need something to pull me out this dump,
[00:35.92] I took my bruises, took my lumps
[00:37.67] Fell down and I got right back up
[00:39.43] But I need that spark to get psyched back up
[00:41.18] In order for me to pick the mic back up
[00:43.18] I don't know how or why or when I ended up in this position I'm in
[00:46.94] I'm starting to feel distant again
[00:48.69] So I decided just to pick this pen
[00:50.45] Up and try to make an attempt to vent
[00:52.45] But I just can't admit
[00:53.95] Or come to grips with the fact that I may be done with rap
[00:56.70] I need a new outlet, and I know some shit's so hard to swallow
[00:59.46] But I just can't sit back and wallow
[01:01.47] In my own sorrow
[01:02.46] But I know one fact I'll be one tough act to follow
[01:05.47] One tough act to follow
[01:06.97] I'll be one tough act to follow
[01:08.73] Here today, gone tomorrow
[01:10.48] But you'd have to walk a thousand miles
[01:12.48] In my shoes, just to see
[01:14.24] What it's like, to be me
[01:15.99] I'll be you, let's trade shoes
[01:17.75] Just to see what it'd be like to
[01:19.76] Feel your pain, you feel mine
[01:21.51] Go inside each other's minds
[01:23.26] Just to see what we find
[01:25.03] Look at shit through each other's eyes
[01:27.28] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful, oh
[01:34.55] They can all get fucked.
[01:36.30] Just stay true to you
[01:40.56] So don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
[01:47.58] Oh, they can all get fucked.
[01:51.09] Just stay true to you, yeah, so...
[01:56.10] I think I'm starting to lose my sense of humor
[01:57.85] Everything is so tense and gloom
[01:59.35] I almost feel like I gotta check the temperature in the room
[02:02.36] Just as soon as I walk in
[02:03.87] It's like all eyes on me
[02:05.11] So I try to avoid any eye contact
[02:06.62] 'Cause if I do that then it opens the door for conversation
[02:09.38] Like I want that... I'm not looking for extra attention
[02:12.42] I just want to be just like you
[02:14.17] Blend in with the rest of the room
[02:15.68] Maybe just point me to the closest restroom
[02:17.68] I don't need no fucking man servant
[02:19.43] Trying to follow me around and wipe my ass
[02:21.45] Laugh at every single joke I crack
[02:23.20] And half of them ain't even funny like
[02:25.20] "Ha!, Marshall you're so funny man, you should be a comedian, God damn"
[02:28.96] Unfortunately I am, but I just hide behind the tears of a clown
[02:32.47] So why don't you all sit down?
[02:33.97] Listen to the tale I'm about to tell
[02:35.97] Hell, we don't gotta trade our shoes
[02:37.73] And you ain't gotta walk no thousand miles
[02:39.47] In my shoes, just to see
[02:41.48] What it's like, to be me
[02:43.24] I'll be you, let's trade shoes
[02:44.99] Just to see what it'd be like to
[02:46.99] Feel your pain, you feel mine
[02:48.75] Go inside each other's minds
[02:50.50] Just to see what we find
[02:52.24] Look at shit through each other's eyes
[02:54.51] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
[03:00.26] Oh they can all get fucked.
[03:03.77] Just stay true to you so
[03:09.03] Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
[03:15.05] Oh they can all get fucked.
[03:18.30] Just stay true to you so
[03:23.07] Nobody asked for life to deal us
[03:25.07] With these bullshit hands we're dealt
[03:26.83] We gotta take these cards ourselves
[03:28.58] And flip them, don't expect no help
[03:30.58] Now I could have either just
[03:32.09] Sat on my ass and pissed and moaned
[03:34.09] Or take this situation in which I'm placed in
[03:36.35] And get up and get my own
[03:37.86] I was never the type of kid
[03:39.35] To wait by the door and pack his bags
[03:41.35] Who sat on the porch and hoped and prayed
[03:43.11] For a dad to show up who never did
[03:45.11] I just wanted to fit in
[03:46.61] In every single place
[03:47.87] Every school I went
[03:48.63] I dreamed of being that cool kid
[03:50.12] Even if it meant acting stupid
[03:52.13] Aunt Edna always told me "Keep makin' that face it'll get stuck like that"
[03:55.88] Meanwhile I'm just standin' there
[03:57.63] Holdin' my tongue tryna talk like this
[03:59.64] 'Til I stuck my tongue on that frozen stop sign pole at 8 years old
[04:03.14] I learned my lesson then cause I wasn't tryna impress my friends no more
[04:06.65] But I already told you my whole life story
[04:08.65] Not just based on my description
[04:10.41] 'Cause where you see it from where you're sitting
[04:12.41] It's probably 110% different
[04:14.42] I guess we would have to walk a mile
[04:16.18] In each other's shoes, at least
[04:17.67] What size you wear? I wear tens
[04:19.67] Let's see if you can fit your feet
[04:21.44] In my shoes, just to see
[04:23.44] What it's like, to be me
[04:25.19] I'll be you, let's trade shoes
[04:26.95] Just to see what it'd be like to
[04:28.70] Feel your pain, you feel mine
[04:30.45] Go inside each other's minds
[04:32.21] Just to see what we find
[04:34.21] Look at shit through each other's eyes
[04:36.21] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful, oh
[04:43.48] They can all get fucked.
[04:45.48] Just stay true to you
[04:49.48] So don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
[04:56.76] Oh, they can all get fucked.
[05:00.25] Just stay true to you, yeah, so...
[05:05.27] Lately I've been hard to reach, I've been too long on my own
[05:12.79] Everybody has a private world where they can be alone...
[05:19.54] So are you calling me, are you trying to get through, oh?
[05:27.07] Are you reaching out for me, like I'm reaching out for you?
[05:34.08] So oh oh
[05:35.83] Yeah... To my babies. Stay strong.
[05:40.34] Daddy will be home soon
[05:43.10] And to the rest of the world, God gave you them shoes
[05:47.09] To fit you, so put 'em on and wear 'em
[05:50.60] Be yourself, man, be proud of who you are
[05:55.86] Even if it sounds corny,
[05:58.87] Don't ever let no one tell you, you ain't beautiful
[06:02.37] So...
