Beautiful
Lately I've been hard to reach
- Lately I've been hard to reach
- I've been too long on my own
- Everybody has a private world
- Where they can be alone
- Are you calling me, are you trying to get through
- Are you reaching out for me, and I'm reaching out for you
- I'm just so f**kin' depressed
- I just can seem to get out this slump
- If I could just get over this hump
- But I need something to pull me out this dump
- I took my bruises, took my lumps
- Fell down and I got right back up
- But I need that spark to get psyched back up
- And the right thing for me to pick that mic back up
- I don't know how I pry away
- And I ended up in this position I'm in
- I'm starting to feel distant again
- So I decided just to beat this pain
- Up and tried to make an attempt to vent
- But I just can't admit
- Or come to grips, with the fact that
- I may be done with rap
- I need a new outlet
- I know some shits so hard to swallow
- But I just can't sit back and wallow
- In my own sorrow
- But I know one fact
- I'll be one tough act to follow
- One tough act to follow
- Copy
- One tough act to follow
- Here today, gone tomorrow
- But you have to walk a thousand miles
- Walk my shoes, just to see
- What it's like, to be me
- All be you, let's trade shoes
- Just to see what I'd be like to
- Feel your pain, you feel mine
- Go inside each other's mind
- Just to see what we find
- Looking shit through each other's eyes
- But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh
- They can all get f**ked
- Just stay true to you so
- Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh
- They can all get f**ked
- Just stay true to you, yes
- I think I'm starting to lose my sense of humor
- Everything is so tense and gloom
- I almost feel like
- I gotta check the temperature in the room
- Just as soon as I walk in
- It's like all eyes on me
- So I try to avoid any eye contact
- Cause if I do that then it opens a door to conversation
- Like I want that
- I'm not looking for extra attention
- I just want to be just like you
- Blend in with the rest of the room
- Maybe just point me to the closest restroom
- I don't need f**king man servin'
- Trying to follow me around, and wipe my ass
- Laugh at every single joke I crack
- And half of them ain't even funny like that
- Ahh Marshall, you're so funny man
- You should be a comedian, god damn
- Unfortunately I am
- But I just hide behind the tears of a clown
- So why don't you all sit down
- Listen to the tale I'm about to tell
- Hell, we don't have to trade our shoes
- And you don't have to walk no thousand miles
- Walk my shoes, just to see
- What it's like, to be me
- All be you, let's trade shoes
- Just to see what I'd be like to
- Feel your pain, you feel mine
- Go inside each other's mind
- Just to see what we find
- Looking shit through each other's eyes
- But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh
- They can all get f**ked
- Just stay true to you so
- Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh
- They can all get f**ked
- Just stay true to you so
- Nobody asked for life to deal us
- With these bullshit hands with doubt
- We have to take these cards ourselves
- And flip them, don't expect no help
- Now I could be either just
- Sat on my ass and pissed and moaned
- But take this situation in which I'm placed in
- And get up and get my own
- I was never the type of kid
- To wait but I know to unpack his bags
- Never sat on the porch and hoped and prayed
- For a dad to show up who never did
- I just wanted to fit in
- Every single place
- Every school I went
- I dreamed of being that cool kid
- Even if it meant acting stupid
- Aunt Edna always told me
- Keep making that face till it gets stuck like that
- Meanwhile I'm just standing there
- Holding my tongue up trying to talk like this
- Till I stuck my tungue
- On the frozen stop sign poll at 8 years old
- I learned my lesson and cause
- I wasn't trying to impress my friends no more
- But I already told you my whole life story
- Not just based on my description
- Cause where you see it from where you're sitting
- Is probably 110% different
- I guess we would have to walk a mile
- In each other's shoes, at least
- What size you where
- I wear tens
- Let's see if you can fit your feet
- Walk my shoes, just to see
- What it's like, to be me
- All be you, let's trade shoes
- Just to see what I'd be like to
- Feel your pain, you feel mine
- Go inside each other's mind
- Just to see what we find
- Looking shit through each other's eyes
- But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh
- They can all get f**ked
- Just stay true to you so
- Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful oh
- They can all get f**ked
- Just stay true to you so
- Lately I've been hard to reach
- I've been too long on my own
- Everybody has a private world
- Where they can be alone so
- Are you calling me, are you trying to get through oh
- Reaching out for me
- And I'm reaching out so for you
- Yeah yeah
- To my babies
- To my babies
- Stay strong
- Stay strong
- Daddy will be soon
- Daddy will be soon
- And to the rest of the world
- And to the rest of the world
- God gave you the shoes
- God gave you the shoes
- That fit you, fit you, so put em on and wear em
- Put em on and wear em
- Be yourself man, be yourself man
- Be proud of who you are
- Be proud of who you are
- Even if it sounds corny
- It sounds corny
- Don't ever let no one tell you
- Don't ever let no one tell you
- You ain't beautiful
- You ain't beautiful
- So, oh, oh, oh
