Eminem - Beautiful
Written by:Marshall Mathers
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
rap: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
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 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 ****s so
hard to swallow
And 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 **** through
each other's eyes
But don't let 'em say
you ain't beautiful OoOo
They can all get ****ed
Just stay true to you sOoOoo
Don't let 'em say
you ain't beautiful OoOo
They can all get ****ed
Just stay true to you
rap: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 ****ing man servin'
Tryin 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 **** through
each other's eyes
But don't let 'em say
you ain't beautiful OoOo
They can all get ****ed
Just stay true to you sOoOoo
Don't let 'em say
you ain't beautiful OoOo
They can all get ****ed
Just stay true to you sOoOoo
rap:Nobody asked for
life to deal us
With these bull****
hands with doubt
We have to take
these cards ourselves
And flip them
don't expect no help
Now I could have 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 tryin
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 wear?
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 **** through
each other's eyes
But don't let 'em say
you ain't beautiful OoOo
They can all get ****ed
Just stay true to you sOoOoo
Don't let 'em say
you ain't beautiful OoOo
They can all get ****ed
Just stay true to you sOoOoo
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 sOoOoo
Are you calling me
are you trying to get through OoOo
Are you reaching out for me
and I'm reaching out for you
Yea To my babies
Stay strong
Daddy will be soon
And to the rest of the world
god gave you the shoes
That fit you
so put em on and wear em
And be yourself man
be proud of who you are
Even if it sounds corny
Don't ever let no one tell you
you ain't beautiful
