[00:01.190]Lately I've been hard to reach
[00:04.390]I've been too long on my own
[00:07.950]Everybody has a private world
[00:10.510]Where they can be alone
[00:15.130]Are you calling me, are you trying to get through
[00:21.750]Are you reaching out for me, and I'm reaching out for you
[00:29.410]
[00:29.670]I'm just so ******' depressed
[00:31.900]I just can seem to get out this slump
[00:32.840]If I could just get over this hump
[00:34.660]But I need something to pull me out this dump
[00:36.450]I took my bruises, took my lumps
[00:38.290]Fell down and I got right back up
[00:40.300]But I need that spark to get psyched back up
[00:41.840]And in order for me to pick the mic back up
[00:43.750]I don't know how or why or when
[00:45.510]I ended up in this position I'm in
[00:47.370]I starting to feel dissin' again
[00:49.100]So I decided just to pick this pen
[00:51.100]Up and tried to make an attempt to vent
[00:53.210]But I just can't admit
[00:54.630]Or come to grips, with the fact that
[00:56.490]I may be done with rap
[00:57.430]I need a new outlet
[00:58.470]I know some ****s so hard to swallow
[00:59.930]But I just can't sit back and wallow
[01:01.870]In my own sorrow
[01:02.860]But I know one fact
[01:03.850]I'll be one tough act to follow
[01:06.390]One tough act to follow
[01:07.490]Copy
[01:08.100]One tough act to follow
[01:09.300]Here today, gone tomorrow
[01:11.380]But you have to walk a thousand miles
[01:12.530]
[01:12.890]In my shoes, just to see
[01:14.670]What it's like, to be me
[01:16.480]I'll be you, let's trade shoes
[01:18.330]Just to see what it'd be like to
[01:20.340]Feel your pain, you feel mine
[01:21.960]Go inside each other's mind
[01:23.740]Just to see what we find
[01:25.590]Looking **** through each other's eyes
[01:27.320]
[01:27.760]But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful OoOo
[01:35.340]They can all get ******. Just stay true to you sOoOoo
[01:42.560]Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful OoOo
[01:49.729]They can all get ******. Just stay true to you
[01:55.240]
[01:55.930]I think I'm starting to lose my sense of humor
[01:58.490]Everything is so tense and gloom
[02:00.160]I almost feel like I gotta check the temperature in the room
[02:03.300]Just as soon as I walk in
[02:03.980]It's like all eyes on me
[02:05.390]So I try to avoid any eye contact
[02:07.380]Cause if I do that then it opens a door for conversation
[02:09.288]Like I want that...
[02:11.210]I'm not looking for extra attention
[02:12.720]I just want to be just like you
[02:14.670]Blend in with the rest of the room
[02:16.160]Maybe just point me to the closest restroom
[02:18.260]I don't need ******* man servant
[02:20.400]Tryin to follow me around, and wipe my ass
[02:22.600]Laugh at every single joke I crack
[02:23.690]And half of them ain't even funny like that
[02:25.690]Ahh Marshall, you're so funny man,
[02:27.700]you should be a comedian, god damn
[02:29.530]Unfortunately I am,
[02:31.230]but I just hide behind the tears of a clown
[02:33.300]So why don't you all sit down
[02:34.840]Listen to the tale I'm about to tell
[02:36.600]Hell, we don't got to trade our shoes
[02:38.380]And you don't got to walk no thousand miles
[02:39.950]
[02:40.440]In my shoes, just to see
[02:41.960]What it's like, to be me
[02:43.740]All be you, let's trade shoes
[02:45.630]Just to see what it'd be like to
[02:47.520]Feel your pain, you feel mine
[02:49.200]Go inside each other's mind
[02:51.100]Just to see what we find
[02:52.880]Looking **** through each other's eyes
[02:54.800]
[02:55.130]But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful OoOo
[03:02.460]They can all get ******. Just stay true to you sOoOoo
[03:09.860]Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful OoOo
[03:17.000]They can all get ******. Just stay true to you sOoOoo
[03:23.990]
[03:24.400]Nobody asked for life to deal us
[03:25.680]With these ******** hands we're dealt
[03:27.440]We got to take these cards ourselves
[03:29.180]And flip them, don't expect no help
[03:31.200]Now I could have either just
[03:32.740]Sat on my ass and pissed and moaned
[03:34.680]But take this situation in which I'm placed in
[03:36.740]And get up and get my own
[03:38.430]I was never the type of kid
[03:40.700]To wait by the door and pack his bags
[03:41.930]I sat on the porch and hoped and prayed
[03:43.700]For a dad to show up who never did
[03:45.610]I just wanted to fit in
[03:47.240]Every single place
[03:48.250]Every school I went
[03:49.260]I dreamed of being that cool kid
[03:51.600]Even if it meant acting stupid
[03:52.920]Aunt Edna always told me
[03:54.570]Keep making that face till it gets stuck like that
[03:56.480]Meanwhile I'm just standing there
[03:58.300]Holding my tongue up trying to talk like this
[04:00.220]Till I stuck my tungue on the frozen stop sign pole at 8 years old
[04:03.790]I learned my lesson then cause I wasn't tryin to impress my friends no more
[04:07.400]But I already told you my whole life story
[04:09.210]Not just based on my description
[04:11.500]Cause where you see it from where you're sitting
[04:12.820]Is probably 110% different
[04:15.250]I guess we would have to walk a mile
[04:16.860]In each other's shoes, at least
[04:18.360]What size you wear?
[04:19.390]I wear tens
[04:20.240]Let's see if you can fit your feet
[04:21.700]
[04:22.150]In my shoes, just to see
[04:23.750]What it's like, to be me
[04:25.570]All be you, let's trade shoes
[04:27.400]Just to see what it'd be like to
[04:29.250]Feel your pain, you feel mine
[04:31.200]Go inside each other's mind
[04:32.840]Just to see what we find
[04:34.680]Looking **** through each other's eyes
[04:36.370]
[04:36.810]But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful OoOo
[04:44.240]They can all get ******. Just stay true to you sOoOoo
[04:51.590]Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful OoOo
[04:58.800]They can all get ******. Just stay true to you sOoOoo
[05:05.930]
[05:06.670]Lately I've been hard to reach
[05:09.750]I've been too long on my own
[05:13.270]Everybody has a private world
[05:16.000]Where they can be alone... sOoOoo
[05:20.550]Are you calling me, are you trying to get through OoOo
[05:27.690]Are you reaching out for me, and I'm reaching out for you sOoOoo Oo Oo
[05:36.180]
[05:36.760]Yea... To my babies. Stay strong. Daddy will be soon
[05:44.600]And to the rest of the world, god gave you the shoes
[05:47.740]That fit you, so put em on and wear em
[05:52.390]And be yourself man, be proud of who you are
[05:56.770]Even if it sounds corny,
[05:59.530]Don't ever let no one tell you, you ain't beautiful
[06:02.860]
[06:03.240]SOoOoo
[06:12.800]
