Beautiful Lyrics

Lately I've been hard to reach I've been too long on my own Everybody has their private world Where they can be alone
Are you calling me? Are you trying to get through? Are you reaching out for me? I'm reaching out for you
I'm just so fucking 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 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 in order for me to pick the mic back up
I don't know how or why or when I ended up this position I'm in I'm starting to feel dissin' again So I decided just to pick this pen
Up 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 outlet
And 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 follow
One tough act to follow I'll be one tough act to follow Here today, gone tomorrow But you'd have to walk a thousand miles
In 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 like
To feel your pain, you feel mine Go inside each others' minds Just to see what we'd find Look at shit through each others' eyes
Don'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 you
I 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 as I walk in, it's like all eyes on me And so I try to avoid any eye contact 'Cause if I do that then it opens the door For conversation, like I want that
I'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 restroom
I 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 clown
So 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 miles
In 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 like
To feel your pain, you feel mine Go inside each others minds Just to see what we'd find Look at shit through each others eyes
Don'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 you
Nobody 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 help
Now 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 own
I 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 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
And 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 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 sittin It's probably 110% different
I 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 feet
In 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 like
To feel your pain, you feel mine Go inside each others minds Just to see what we'd find Look at shit through each others eyes
Don'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 you
So don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful They can all get fucked just stay true to you So
Lately I've been hard to reach I've been too long on my own Everybody has their private world Where they can be alone
Are you calling me? Are you trying to get through? Are you reaching out for me? I'm reaching out for you
Yeah, to my babies Stay strong, daddy will be home soon
And 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
