Beautiful Lyrics
Lately I've been hard to reach
l've been too long on my own
Everybody has a private world
Where they can be aloneAre you calling me?
Are you trying to get through?
Are you reaching out for me?
I'm reaching out for youI'm just so fuckin' depressed
I just can't seem to get out this slump
If I could just get over this hump
But I need something to pull me out this dumpI 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 in order for me to pick the mic back upI don't know how or why or when
I ended up this position I'm in
I'm starting to feel distant again
So I decided just to pick this penUp and try 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 outletAnd I know some shit's so hard to swallow
But I can't just sit back and wallow
In my own sorrow but I know one fact
I'll be one tough act to followOne tough act to follow
I'll be one tough act to follow
Here today, gone tomorrow
But you'd have to walk a thousand milesIn my shoes, just to see
What it's like, to be me
I'll be you, let's trade shoes
Just to see what it'd be likeTo feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside each others' minds
Just to see what we'd find
Look at shit through each others' eyesDon't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked, just stay true to you
So don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked, just stay true to youI think I'm starting to lose my sense of humor
Everything's so tense and gloom
I almost feel like I gotta check
The temperature of the room, just as soon asI 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 the door
For conversation, like I want thatI'm not looking for extra attention
I just wanna be just like you
Blend in with the rest of the room
Maybe just point me to the closest restroomI don't need no fucking man servant
Trying to follow me around and wipe my ass
Laugh at every single joke I crack
And half of 'em ain't even funny like, ha!Marshall you're so funny man
You should be a comedian, god damn!"
Unfortunately I am
I just hide behind the tears of a clownSo why don't you all sit down
Listen to the tale I'm about to tell
Hell, we don't gotta trade our shoes
And you ain't gotta walk no thousand milesIn my shoes, just to see
What it's like, to be me
I'll be you, let's trade shoes
Just to see what it'd be likeTo feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside each others minds
Just to see what we'd find
Look at shit through each others eyesDon't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked, just stay true to you
So don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked, just stay true to youNobody asked for life to deal us
With these bullshit hands we're dealt
We gotta take these cards ourselves
And flip 'em, don't expect no helpNow I could've either just sat on my ass
And pissed and moaned
Or take this situation in which I'm placed in
And get up and get my ownI was never the type of kid
To wait by the door and pack his bags
I sat on the porch and hoped and prayed
For a dad to show up who never didI just wanted to fit in every
Single place, every school I went
I dreamed of being that cool kid
Even if it meant acting stupidAnd Edna always told me
Keep making that face and it'll get stuck like that
Meanwhile I'm just standing there
Holding my tongue tryna talk like that'Til I stuck my tongue on that frozen
Stop sign pole at 8 years old
I learned my lesson then cause I wasn't
trying to impress my friends no moreBut I already told you my whole life story
Not just based on my description
'Cause where you see it, from where you're sittin
It's probably 110% differentI guess we would have to walk a mile
In each others shoes at least
What size you wear? I wear 10's
Let's see if you can fit your feetIn my shoes, just to see
What it's like, to be me
I'll be you, let's trade shoes
Just to see what it'd be likeTo feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside each others minds
Just to see what we'd find
Look at shit through each others eyesDon't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay true to you
So don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay true to youSo don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay true to you
SoLately I've been hard to reach
I've been too long on my own
Everybody has their private world
Where they can be aloneAre you calling me?
Are you trying to get through?
Are you reaching out for me?
I'm reaching out for youYeah, to my babies
Stay strong, daddy will be home soonAnd to the rest of the world
God gave you shoes to fit you
So put 'em on and wear 'em
Be yourself man, be proud of who you are
Even if it sounds corny
Don't ever let anyone tell you you ain't beautiful
