Beautiful

[00:14.10] Lately I've been hard to reach

[00:17.35] I've been too long on my own

[00:20.85] Everybody has a private world

[00:23.35] Where they can be alone

[00:27.85] Are you calling me, are you trying to get through

[00:34.35] Are you reaching out for me, and I'm reaching out for you

[00:42.34] I'm just so fuckin' depressed

[00:43.85] I just can't seem to get out this slump

[00:45.63] If I could just get over this hump

[00:47.37] But I need something to pull me out this dump

[00:49.60] I took my bruises, took my lumps

[00:51.10] Fell down and I got right back up

[00:52.85] But I need that spark to get psyched back up

[00:54.84] In order for me to pick that mic back up

[00:56.60] I don't know how or why or when

[00:58.34] And I ended up in this position I'm in

[01:00.35] I starting to feel distant again

[01:02.10] So I decided just to pick this pen

[01:04.09] Up and tried to make an attempt to vent, but I just can't admit

[01:07.60] Or come to grips, with the fact that

[01:09.37] I may be done with rap, I need a new outlet

[01:11.10] I know some shits so hard to swallow

[01:12.86] And I just can't sit back and wallow

[01:14.87] In my own sorrow, but I know one fact

[01:16.85] I'll be one tough act to follow

[01:18.35] One tough act to follow, copy, one tough act to follow

[01:21.60] Here today, gone tomorrow

[01:23.84] But you have to walk a thousand miles

[01:25.85] In my shoes, just to see

[01:27.34] What it'd be like, to be me

[01:29.11] I'll be you, let's trade shoes

[01:31.34] Just to see what I'd be like to

[01:33.35] Feel your pain, you feel mine

[01:34.85] Go inside each other's mind

[01:36.60] Just to see what we find

[01:38.36] Look at shit through each other's eyes

[01:40.60] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh

[01:47.60] They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you so

[01:54.84] Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh

[02:02.10] They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you so

[02:08.85] I think I'm starting to lose my sense of humor

[02:11.35] Everything is so tense and gloom

[02:13.35] I almost feel like I gotta check the temperature in the room

[02:16.10] Just as soon as I walk in

[02:17.60] It's like all eyes on me, so I try to avoid any eye contact

[02:20.10] Cause if I do that then it opens a door to conversation, like I want that

[02:24.10] I'm not looking for extra attention

[02:25.61] I just want to be just like you

[02:27.34] Blend in with the rest of the room

[02:29.10] Maybe just point me to the closest restroom

[02:31.34] I don't need no fucking manservant

[02:33.09] Follow me around, and wiping my ass

[02:34.85] Laugh at every single joke I crack

[02:36.60] And half of 'em ain't even funny like

[02:38.63] Haha Marshall, you're so funny man, you should be a comedian, god damn

[02:42.10] Unfortunately I am, but I just hide behind the tears of a clown

[02:45.34] So why don't you all sit down

[02:47.35] Listen to the tale I'm about to tell

[02:49.09] Hell, we don't have to trade our shoes

[02:51.10] And you don't have to walk no thousand miles

[02:53.10] In my shoes, just to see

[02:54.60] What it'd be like, to be me

[02:56.59] I'll be you, let's trade shoes

[02:58.60] Just to see what I'd be like to

[03:00.35] Feel your pain, you feel mine

[03:02.10] Go inside each other's mind

[03:03.85] Just to see what we find

[03:05.60] Look at shit through each other's eyes

[03:07.60] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh

[03:14.34] They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you so so

[03:22.35] Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh

[03:29.59] They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you

[03:36.84] Nobody asked for life to deal us

[03:38.60] With these bullshit hands we're dealt

[03:40.38] We gotta take these cards ourselves

[03:42.10] Flip them, don't expect no help, now I could have either just

[03:44.10] Sat on my ass and pissed and moaned

[03:47.34] But take this situation in which I'm placed in

[03:50.10] And get up and get my own, I was never the type of kid

[03:52.60] To wait but I know to unpack his bags

[03:54.86] Never sat on the porch and hoped and prayed

[03:56.88] For a dad to show up who never did

[03:58.38] I just wanted to fit in, every single place, every school I went

[04:02.35] I dreamed of being that cool kid

[04:04.10] Even if it meant acting stupid, Aunt Edna always told me

[04:07.60] Keep making that face till it gets stuck like that

[04:09.59] Meanwhile I'm just standing there

[04:11.10] Holding my tongue up trying to talk like this

[04:13.10] Till I stuck my tongue on the frozen stop sign pole at eight years old

[04:16.59] I learned my lesson and cause I wasn't tryin to impress my friends no more

[04:20.34] But I already told you my whole life story

[04:22.35] Not just based on my description

[04:23.84] Cause where you see it from where you're sitting

[04:25.85] Is probably a hundred and ten percent different

[04:27.59] I guess we would have to walk a mile

[04:29.60] In each other's shoes, at least

[04:31.59] What size you where? I wear tens

[04:33.35] Let's see if you can fit your feet

[04:34.85] In my shoes, just to see

[04:36.62] What it'd be like, to be me

[04:38.35] I'll be you, let's trade shoes

[04:40.35] Just to see what I'd be like to

[04:42.34] Feel your pain, you feel mine

[04:43.85] Go inside each other's mind

[04:46.10] Just to see what we find

[04:47.60] Look at shit through each other's eyes

[04:49.85] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh

[04:56.63] They can all get fucked, just stay true to you so

[05:04.10] Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh

[05:10.88] They can all get fucked, just stay true to you so

[05:19.61] Lately I've been hard to reach

[05:22.60] I've been too long on my own

[05:26.11] Everybody has a private world

[05:31.10] Where they can be alone

[05:33.40] Are you calling me, are you trying to get through

[05:39.85] Are you reaching out for me, and I'm reaching out for you

[05:49.34] Yea, to my babies. Stay strong. Daddy will be home soon

[05:56.85] And to the rest of the world, God gave you the shoes

[06:01.10] That fit you, so put em on and wear 'em

[06:04.34] And be yourself man, be proud of who you are

[06:09.62] Even if it sounds corny,

[06:12.35] Don't ever let no one tell you, you ain't beautiful
