Eminem - Beautiful
[00:00.90] Lately I've been hard to reach
[00:04.40] I've been too long on my own
[00:07.90] Everybody has a private world
[00:10.40] Where they can be alone
[00:15.15] Are you calling me?
[00:17.90] Are you trying to get through?
[00:21.90] Are you reaching out for me?
[00:25.15] Then I'm reaching out for you
[00:29.40] I'm just so fuckin' depressed
[00:31.15] I just can't seem to get out this slump
[00:32.90] If I could just get over this hump
[00:34.65] But I need somethin' to pull me out this dump
[00:36.40] I took my bruises, took my lumps
[00:38.15] Fell down and I got right back up
[00:40.15] But I need that spark to get psyched back up
[00:42.40] In order for me to pick the mic back up
[00:43.65] I don't know how or why or when
[00:45.40] I ended up in this position I'm in
[00:47.40] I'm starting to feel distant again
[00:49.15] So I decided just to pick this pen
[00:50.89] Up and try to make an attempt to vent
[00:53.40] But I just can't admit
[00:54.65] Or come to grips with the fact that I may be done with rap
[00:56.90] I need a new outlet
[00:58.40] And I know some shit's so hard to swallow
[01:00.15] But I just can't sit back and wallow
[01:01.90] In my own sorrow, but I know one fact:
[01:03.90] I'll be one tough act to follow
[01:06.14] One tough act to follow, I'll be one tough act to follow
[01:09.15] Here today, gone tomorrow
[01:11.15] But you'd have to walk a thousand miles—
[01:12.90] In my shoes, just to see
[01:14.65] What it's like to be me
[01:16.40] I'll be you, let's trade shoes
[01:18.40] Just to see what it'd be like to
[01:20.15] Feel your pain, you feel mine
[01:21.90] Go inside each other's minds
[01:23.90] Just to see what we find
[01:25.65] Look at shit through each other's eyes
[01:28.65] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
[01:34.90] They can all get fucked, just stay true to you
[01:42.15] Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
[01:49.64] They can all get fucked, just stay true to you
[01:56.15] I think I'm starting to lose my sense of humor
[01:58.15] Everything's so tense and gloom
[01:59.90] I almost feel like I gotta check the temperature
[02:02.14] Of the room, just as soon as
[02:03.65] I walk in, it's like all eyes on me
[02:05.15] So I try to avoid any eye contact
[02:07.14] ‘Cause if I do that, then it opens a door
[02:09.15] For conversation like I want that
[02:10.90] I'm not lookin' for extra attention
[02:12.65] I just wanna be just like you
[02:14.65] Blend in with the rest of the room
[02:16.15] Maybe just point me to the closest restroom
[02:18.15] I don't need no fuckin' man servant
[02:19.65] Tryna follow me around and wipe my ass
[02:21.90] Laugh at every single joke I crack
[02:23.65] And half of 'em ain't even funny, like, "Ha!
[02:26.15] Marshall, you're so funny, man
[02:27.39] You should be a comedian, goddamn!"
[02:29.65] Unfortunately I am
[02:31.15] I just hide behind the tears of a clown
[02:33.15] So why don't you all sit down?
[02:34.90] Listen to the tale I'm about to tell
[02:36.40] Hell, we don't gotta trade our shoes
[02:38.14] And you ain't gotta walk no thousand miles—
[02:40.15] In my shoes, just to see
[02:41.90] What it's like to be me
[02:43.90] I'll be you, let's trade shoes
[02:45.65] Just to see what it'd be like to
[02:47.40] Feel your pain, you feel mine
[02:49.39] Go inside each other's minds
[02:51.15] Just to see what we find
[02:52.90] Look at shit through each other's eyes
[02:54.90] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
[03:02.15] They can all get fucked, just stay true to you
[03:09.65] Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
[03:16.90] They can all get fucked, just stay true to you
[03:23.65] Nobody asked for life to deal us
[03:25.65] With these bullshit hands we're dealt
[03:27.40] We gotta take these cards ourselves
[03:29.15] And flip 'em, don't expect no help
[03:31.15] Now, I could've either just sat on my ass and pissed and moaned
[03:34.65] Or take this situation in which I'm placed in
[03:36.90] And get up and get my own
[03:38.65] I was never the type of kid to wait by the door and pack his bags
[03:41.90] And sat on the porch and hoped and prayed
[03:43.65] For a dad to show up who never did
[03:45.40] I just wanted to fit in in every single place, every school I went
[03:48.90] I dreamed of being that cool kid
[03:50.90] Even if it meant acting stupid
[03:52.65] Aunt Edna always told me:
[03:54.40] "Keep making that face, it'll get stuck like that."
[03:56.40] Meanwhile, I'm just standin' there
[03:58.15] Holdin' my tongue, tryin' to talk like this
[04:00.15] 'Til I stuck my tongue on that frozen stop sign pole at 8 years old
[04:03.65] I learned my lesson then
[04:05.15] ‘Cause I wasn't tryin' to impress my friends no mo'
[04:07.40] But I already told you my whole life story
[04:09.15] Not just based on my description
[04:11.15] ‘Cause where you see it from where you're sittin'
[04:12.90] It's probably 110% different
[04:14.90] I guess we would have to walk a mile in each other's shoes at least
[04:18.14] What size you wear? I wear 10's
[04:20.15] Let's see if you can fit your feet—
[04:21.90] In my shoes, just to see
[04:23.90] What it's like to be me
[04:25.65] I'll be you, let's trade shoes
[04:27.40] Just to see what it'd be like to
[04:29.15] Feel your pain, you feel mine
[04:30.90] Go inside each other's minds
[04:32.90] Just to see what we find
[04:34.65] Look at shit through each other's eyes
[04:36.90] But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
[04:44.15] They can all get fucked, just stay true to you
[04:51.90] Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
[04:58.90] They can all get fucked, just stay true to you
[05:06.40] Lately I've been hard to reach
[05:09.90] I've been too long on my own
[05:13.40] Everybody has a private world
[05:15.90] Where they can be alone
[05:20.15] Are you calling me?
[05:23.15] Are you trying to get through?
[05:27.65] Are you reaching out for me?
[05:30.39] Then I'm reaching out for you
[05:36.15] Yeah, to my babies: stay strong
[05:41.90] Daddy'll be home soon
[05:44.40] And to the rest of the world: God gave you shoes to fit you
[05:49.40] So put 'em on and wear 'em, be yourself, man
[05:54.65] Be proud of who you are, and even if it sounds corny
[05:59.40] Never let no one tell you you ain't beautiful
