Beautiful

[00:00.97] Lately, I've been hard to reach

[00:03.95] I've been too long on my own

[00:07.40] Everybody has a private world

[00:10.06] Where they can be alone

[00:14.30] Are you callin me?

[00:17.50] Are you tryin' to get through?

[00:20.96] Are you reachin' out for me?

[00:24.96] I'm reachin' out for you

[00:28.91] I'm just so fuckin' depressed

[00:30.50] I just can't seem to get out this slump

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

[00:34.22] But I need something to pull me out this dump

[00:36.08] I took my bruises, took my lumps

[00:37.68] Fell down and I got right back up

[00:39.53] But I need that spark to get psyched back up

[00:41.66] In order for me to pick the mic back up

[00:43.27] I don't know how or why or when

[00:45.13] And I ended up in this position I'm in

[00:46.72] I'm startin' to feel distant again

[00:48.58] So I decided just to pick this pen

[00:50.18] Up and tried to make an attempt to vent

[00:52.56] But I just can't admit

[00:53.89] Or come to grips with the fact that I may be done with rap

[00:56.82] I need a new outlet

[00:57.89] And I know some shit's so hard to swallow

[00:59.48] But I just can't sit back and wallow

[01:01.34] In my own sorrow, but I know one fact

[01:03.20] I'll be one tough act to follow

[01:05.06] One tough act to follow

[01:06.93] I'll be one tough act to follow

[01:08.53] Here today, gone tomorrow

[01:10.39] But you'd have to walk a thousand miles

[01:12.26] In my shoes, just to see

[01:13.86] What it's like to be me

[01:15.72] I'll be you, let's trade shoes

[01:17.87] Just to see what it'd be like to

[01:19.73] Feel your pain, you feel mine

[01:21.33] Go inside each other's minds

[01:22.92] Just to see what we find

[01:24.80] Look at shit through each other's eyes

[01:26.93] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful (oh)

[01:35.74] They can all get fucked, just stay true to you (so)

[01:40.51] Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful (oh-oh)

[01:49.27] They can all get fucked, just stay true to you (yeah, so)

[01:54.86] I think I'm startin' to lose my sense of humor

[01:57.80] Everything's so tense and gloom

[01:59.66] I almost feel like I gotta check the temperature

[02:01.78] Of the room, just as soon as

[02:03.38] I walk in, it's like all eyes on me

[02:04.98] So I try to avoid any eye contact

[02:06.57] 'Cause if I do that, then it opens a door

[02:08.72] For conversation like I want that

[02:10.32] I'm not lookin' for extra attention

[02:12.44] I just wanna be just like you

[02:14.06] Blend in with the rest of the room

[02:15.91] Maybe just point me to the closest restroom

[02:17.50] I don't need no fuckin' manservant

[02:19.10] Tryna follow me around, and wipe my ass

[02:21.22] Laugh at every single joke I crack

[02:23.11] And half of 'em ain't even funny like

[02:24.96] "Ha, Marshall, you're so funny, man

[02:27.08] You should be a comedian, goddamn"

[02:28.67] Unfortunately I am

[02:30.55] I just hide behind the tears of a clown

[02:32.42] So why don't you all sit down

[02:34.01] Listen to the tale I'm about to tell

[02:35.93] Hell, we don't gotta trade our shoes

[02:37.79] And you ain't gotta walk no thousand miles

[02:39.66] In my shoes, just to see

[02:41.25] What it's like to be me

[02:43.11] I'll be you, let's trade shoes

[02:44.97] Just to see what it'd be like to

[02:47.10] Feel your pain, you feel mine

[02:48.69] Go inside each other's minds

[02:50.54] Just to see what we find

[02:52.14] Look at shit through each other's eyes

[02:54.27] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful (oh-oh)

[03:01.96] They can all get fucked, just stay true to you (so)

[03:08.08] Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful (oh-oh)

[03:16.34] They can all get fucked, just stay true to you (so)

[03:22.98] Nobody asked for life to deal us

[03:25.39] With these bullshit hands we're dealt

[03:26.98] We gotta take these cards ourselves

[03:28.57] And flip 'em, don't expect no help

[03:30.46] Now I could have either just sat on my ass and pissed and moaned

[03:33.92] Or take this situation in which I'm placed in

[03:36.58] And get up and get my own

[03:37.65] I was never the type of kid to wait by the door and pack his bags

[03:41.40] Or sat on the porch and hoped and prayed

[03:43.27] For a dad to show up who never did

[03:44.87] I just wanted to fit in, in every single place, every school I went

[03:48.60] I dreamed of being that cool kid

[03:50.50] Even if it meant actin' stupid

[03:52.35] Aunt Edna always told me

[03:53.96] "Keep makin' that face, it'll get stuck like that"

[03:55.80] Meanwhile, I'm just standin' there

[03:57.69] Holding my tongue, tryin' to talk like this

[03:59.55] 'Til I stuck my tongue on the frozen stop sign pole at eight years old

[04:03.29] I learned my lesson then

[04:04.61] 'Cause I wasn't tryin to impress my friends no more

[04:06.74] But I already told you my whole life story

[04:08.62] Not just based on my description

[04:10.48] 'Cause where you see it from where you're sittin'

[04:12.39] Is probably 110% different

[04:14.50] I guess we would have to walk a mile in each other's shoes at least

[04:17.70] What size you wear? I wear 10's

[04:19.55] Let's see if you can fit your feet

[04:21.41] In my shoes, just to see

[04:23.00] What it's like to be me

[04:24.88] I'll be you, let's trade shoes

[04:26.73] Just to see what it'd be like to

[04:28.91] Feel your pain, you feel mine

[04:30.50] Go inside each other's minds

[04:32.10] Just to see what we find

[04:33.99] Look at shit through each other's eyes

[04:36.38] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful (oh-oh)

[04:43.83] They can all get fucked, just stay true to you (so)

[04:51.02] Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful (oh-oh)

[04:58.48] They can all get fucked, just stay true to you (so)

[05:05.68] Lately, I've been hard to reach

[05:08.85] I've been too long on my own (oh-oh)

[05:12.84] Everybody has a private world

[05:15.50] Where they can be alone (so)

[05:20.04] Are you callin' me?

[05:22.70] Are you tryin' to get through? (oh-oh)

[05:27.24] Are you reachin' out for me?

[05:29.64] Then I'm reachin' out for you (so)

[05:35.75] Yeah, to my babies, stay strong

[05:40.28] Dad'll be home soon

[05:43.24] And to the rest of the world

[05:45.37] God gave you them shoes to fit you

[05:48.83] So put 'em on and wear 'em

[05:51.76] Be yourself, man

[05:54.14] Be proud of who you are

[05:55.74] Even if it sounds corny

[05:58.94] Don't ever let no one tell you, you ain't beautiful (so)
