Beautiful
[00:04.14] Lately I've been hard to reach
[00:06.89] I've been too long on my own
[00:10.14] Everybody has a private world
[00:12.89] where they can be alone
[00:17.64] Are you calling me?
[00:20.39] Are you trying to get through?
[00:24.14] Are you reaching out for me
[00:28.14] like I'm reaching out for you?
[00:31.90] I'm just so fuckin' depressed
[00:34.13] I just can't seem to get out this slump
[00:35.65] If I could just get over this hump
[00:37.38] But I need something to pull me out this dump,
[00:39.14] I took my bruises, took my lumps
[00:40.89] Fell down and I got right back up
[00:42.64] But I need that spark to get psyched back up
[00:44.40] In order for me to pick the mic back up
[00:46.40] I don't know how or why or when
[00:48.14] I ended up in this position I'm in
[00:49.89] I'm starting to feel distant again
[00:51.64] So I decided just to pick this pen
[00:53.64] Up and try to make an attempt to vent
[00:55.89] But I just can't admit
[00:57.14] Or come to grips
[00:58.14] with the fact that I may be done with rap
[00:59.64] I need a new outlet
[01:00.89] and I know some shit's so hard to swallow
[01:02.64] But I just can't sit back and wallow
[01:04.40] In my own sorrow
[01:05.39] But I know one fact I'll be one tough act to follow
[01:08.64] One tough act to follow
[01:10.14] I'll be one tough act to follow
[01:11.89] Here today, gone tomorrow
[01:13.89] But you'd have to walk a thousand miles
[01:15.64] In my shoes, just to see
[01:17.39] What it's like, to be me
[01:18.89] I'll be you, let's trade shoes
[01:20.89] Just to see what it'd be like to
[01:22.90] Feel your pain, you feel mine
[01:24.64] Go inside each other's minds
[01:26.39] Just to see what we find
[01:28.15] Look at shit through each other's eyes
[01:30.39] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful, oh
[01:37.38] They can all get fucked.
[01:39.39] Just stay true to you
[01:44.64] So don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
[01:52.14] Oh, they can all get fucked.
[01:54.14] Just stay true to you, yeah, so...
[01:58.15] I think I'm starting to lose my sense of humor
[02:00.90] Everything is so tense and gloom
[02:02.64] I almost feel like I gotta check the temperature in the room
[02:05.64] Just as soon as I walk in
[02:06.89] It's like all eyes on me
[02:08.14] So I try to avoid any eye contact
[02:09.89] 'Cause if I do that
[02:10.89] then it opens the door for conversation like I want that...
[02:13.65] I'm not looking for extra attention
[02:15.38] I just want to be just like you
[02:17.39] Blend in with the rest of the room
[02:18.89] Maybe just point me to the closest restroom
[02:20.65] I don't need no fucking man servant
[02:22.39] Trying to follow me around and wipe my ass
[02:24.64] Laugh at every single joke I crack
[02:26.14] And half of them ain't even funny like
[02:28.15] "Ha!, Marshall you're so funny man
[02:30.14] you should be a comedian, God damn"
[02:32.14] Unfortunately I am
[02:33.40] but I just hide behind the tears of a clown
[02:35.65] So why don't you all sit down?
[02:37.39] Listen to the tale I'm about to tell
[02:39.14] Hell, we don't gotta trade our shoes
[02:41.14] And you ain't gotta walk no thousand miles
[02:42.90] In my shoes, just to see
[02:44.65] What it's like, to be me
[02:46.40] I'll be you, let's trade shoes
[02:48.14] Just to see what it'd be like to
[02:50.13] Feel your pain, you feel mine
[02:51.88] Go inside each other's minds
[02:53.64] Just to see what we find
[02:55.64] Look at shit through each other's eyes
[02:57.89] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
[03:03.64] Oh they can all get fucked.
[03:06.88] Just stay true to you so
[03:12.14] Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
[03:18.14] Oh they can all get fucked.
[03:21.39] Just stay true to you so
[03:25.64] Nobody asked for life to deal us
[03:28.14] With these bullshit hands we're dealt
[03:30.14] We gotta take these cards ourselves
[03:31.64] And flip them, don't expect no help
[03:33.64] Now I could have either just
[03:35.39] Sat on my ass and pissed and moaned
[03:37.15] Or take this situation in which I'm placed in
[03:39.64] And get up and get my own
[03:41.14] I was never the type of kid
[03:42.64] To wait by the door and pack his bags
[03:44.64] Who sat on the porch and hoped and prayed
[03:46.40] For a dad to show up who never did
[03:48.14] I just wanted to fit in
[03:49.63] In every single place
[03:50.63] Every school I went
[03:51.89] I dreamed of being that cool kid
[03:53.40] Even if it meant acting stupid
[03:55.15] Aunt Edna always told me
[03:56.89] "Keep makin' that face it'll get stuck like that"
[03:59.15] Meanwhile I'm just standin' there
[04:00.65] Holdin' my tongue tryna talk like this
[04:02.90] 'Til I stuck my tongue
[04:03.89] on that frozen stop sign pole at 8 years old
[04:06.15] I learned my lesson then
[04:07.39] cause I wasn't tryna impress my friends no more
[04:09.89] But I already told you my whole life story
[04:11.89] Not just based on my description
[04:13.39] 'Cause where you see it from where you're sitting
[04:15.14] It's probably 110% different
[04:17.64] I guess we would have to walk a mile
[04:19.39] In each other's shoes, at least
[04:20.89] What size you wear? I wear tens
[04:22.89] Let's see if you can fit your feet
[04:24.89] In my shoes, just to see
[04:26.39] What it's like, to be me
[04:28.14] I'll be you, let's trade shoes
[04:30.15] Just to see what it'd be like to
[04:31.90] Feel your pain, you feel mine
[04:33.64] Go inside each other's minds
[04:35.64] Just to see what we find
[04:37.39] Look at shit through each other's eyes
[04:39.39] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful, oh
[04:46.40] They can all get fucked.
[04:48.64] Just stay true to you
[04:52.89] So don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
[04:59.89] Oh, they can all get fucked.
[05:05.39] Just stay true to you, yeah, so...
[05:09.64] Lately I've been hard to reach, I've been too long on my own
[05:15.64] Everybody has a private world where they can be alone...
[05:22.88] So are you calling me, are you trying to get through, oh?
[05:30.14] Are you reaching out for me, like I'm reaching out for you?
[05:37.38] So oh oh
