[00:16.47] Lately I've been hard to reach, I've been too long on my own
[00:20.97] Everybody has a private world where they can be alone
[00:27.73] Are you calling me? Are you trying to get through?
[00:34.19] Are you reaching out for me, like I'm reaching out for you?
[00:41.23] I'm just so fuckin' depressed, I just can't seem to get out this slump
[00:45.74] If I could just get over this hump
[00:47.73] But I need something to pull me out this dump,
[00:49.47] I took my bruises, took my lumps
[00:51.23] Fell down and I got right back up
[00:52.97] But I need that spark to get psyched back up
[00:54.98] In order for me to pick the mic back up
[00:56.47] I don't know how or why or when I ended up in this position I'm in
[01:00.98] I'm starting to feel distant again
[01:02.22] So I decided just to pick this pen
[01:03.94] Up and try to make an attempt to vent
[01:05.72] But I just can't admit
[01:07.48] Or come to grips with the fact that I may be done with rap
[01:10.47] I need a new outlet, and I know some shit's so hard to swallow
[01:11.97] But I just can't sit back and wallow
[01:13.47] In my own sorrow
[01:15.68] But I know one fact I'll be one tough act to follow
[01:17.19] One tough act to follow
[01:18.97] I'll be one tough act to follow
[01:22.22] Here today, gone tomorrow
[01:24.22] But you'd have to walk a thousand miles
[01:25.99] In my shoes, just to see
[01:27.98] What it's like, to be me
[01:29.47] I'll be you, let's trade shoes
[01:31.48] Just to see what it'd be like to
[01:33.23] Feel your pain, you feel mine
[01:35.20] Go inside each other's minds
[01:36.70] Just to see what we find
[01:38.44] Look at shit through each other's eyes
[01:40.73] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful, oh
[01:48.19] They can all get fucked.
[01:51.19] Just stay true to you
[01:54.71] So don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
[02:00.47] Oh, they can all get fucked.
[02:05.72] Just stay true to you, yeah, so...
[02:09.47] I think I'm starting to lose my sense of humor
[02:11.23] Everything is so tense and gloom
[02:13.23] I almost feel like I gotta check the temperature in the room
[02:14.97] Just as soon as I walk in
[02:16.72] It's like all eyes on me
[02:19.95] So I try to avoid any eye contact
[02:21.45] 'Cause if I do that then it opens the door for conversation
[02:23.19] Like I want that... I'm not looking for extra attention
[02:24.19] I just want to be just like you
[02:26.23] Blend in with the rest of the room
[02:28.69] Maybe just point me to the closest restroom
[02:30.93] I don't need no fucking man servant
[02:33.22] Trying to follow me around and wipe my ass
[02:34.98] Laugh at every single joke I crack
[02:38.73] And half of them ain't even funny like
[02:39.47] "Ha!, Marshall you're so funny man, you should be a comedian, God damn"
[02:42.46] Unfortunately I am, but I just hide behind the tears of a clown
[02:45.21] So why don't you all sit down?
[02:47.96] Listen to the tale I'm about to tell
[02:49.45] Hell, we don't gotta trade our shoes
[02:52.45] And you ain't gotta walk no thousand miles
[02:53.70] In my shoes, just to see
[02:54.95] What it's like, to be me
[02:56.70] I'll be you, let's trade shoes
[02:58.70] Just to see what it'd be like to
[03:00.44] Feel your pain, you feel mine
[03:02.22] Go inside each other's minds
[03:03.22] Just to see what we find
[03:05.46] Look at shit through each other's eyes
[03:07.98] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
[03:12.72] Oh they can all get fucked.
[03:18.72] Just stay true to you so
[03:25.72] Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
[03:30.52] Oh they can all get fucked.
[03:33.25] Just stay true to you so
[03:37.00] Nobody asked for life to deal us
[03:40.53] With these bullshit hands we're dealt
[03:44.74] We gotta take these cards ourselves
[03:48.53] And flip them, don't expect no help
[00:00.00] Now I could have either just
[00:00.00] Sat on my ass and pissed and moaned
[00:00.00] Or take this situation in which I'm placed in
[00:00.00] And get up and get my own
[00:00.00] I was never the type of kid
[00:00.00] To wait by the door and pack his bags
[00:00.00] Who sat on the porch and hoped and prayed
[00:00.00] For a dad to show up who never did
[00:00.00] I just wanted to fit in
[00:00.00] In every single place
[00:00.00] Every school I went
[00:00.00] I dreamed of being that cool kid
[00:00.00] Even if it meant acting stupid
[00:00.00] Aunt Edna always told me "Keep makin' that face it'll get stuck like that"
[00:00.00] Meanwhile I'm just standin' there
[00:00.00] Holdin' my tongue tryna talk like this
[00:00.00] 'Til I stuck my tongue on that frozen stop sign pole at 8 years old
[00:00.00] I learned my lesson then cause I wasn't tryna impress my friends no more
[00:00.00] But I already told you my whole life story
[00:00.00] Not just based on my description
[00:00.00] 'Cause where you see it from where you're sitting
[00:00.00] It's probably 110% different
[00:00.00] I guess we would have to walk a mile
[00:00.00] In each other's shoes, at least
[00:00.00] What size you wear? I wear tens
[00:00.00] Let's see if you can fit your feet
[00:00.00] In my shoes, just to see
[00:00.00] What it's like, to be me
[00:00.00] I'll be you, let's trade shoes
[00:00.00] Just to see what it'd be like to
[00:00.00] Feel your pain, you feel mine
[00:00.00] Go inside each other's minds
[00:00.00] Just to see what we find
[00:00.00] Look at shit through each other's eyes
[00:00.00] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful, oh
[00:00.00] They can all get fucked.
[00:00.00] Just stay true to you
[00:00.00] So don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
[00:00.00] Oh, they can all get fucked.
[00:00.00] Just stay true to you, yeah, so...
[00:00.00] Lately I've been hard to reach, I've been too long on my own
[00:00.00] Everybody has a private world where they can be alone...
[00:00.00] So are you calling me, are you trying to get through, oh?
[00:00.00] Are you reaching out for me, like I'm reaching out for you?
[00:00.00] So oh oh
[00:00.00] Yeah... To my babies. Stay strong.
[00:00.00] Daddy will be home soon
[00:00.00] And to the rest of the world, God gave you them shoes
[00:00.00] To fit you, so put 'em on and wear 'em
[00:00.00] Be yourself, man, be proud of who you are
[00:00.00] Even if it sounds corny,
[00:00.00] Don't ever let no one tell you, you ain't beautiful
[00:00.00] So...
