http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgT1AidzRWM&feature=avmsc2Lately I've been hard to ——1——
I've been too long on my own
Everyone has a private world
Where they can be aloneAre you calling me, are you trying to get --2--
Are you reaching out for me, and I'm reaching out for you
I'm just so fuckin' depressed
I just can seem to get out this ——3——
If I could just get over this hump
But I need something to pull me out this dump
I took my bruises, took my lumpsFell 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 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 admitOr come to grips, with the fact that
I may be done with rapI need a new outlet
I know some shits so hard to swallow
But I just can't sit back and wallow
In my own sorrowBut I know one fact
I'll be one tough act to ——4——
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 seeWhat it's like, to be me
All be you, let's trade shoesJust 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 OoOo
They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you sOoOoo
Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful OoOo
They can all get fucked. Just stay true to youI think I'm starting to lose my sense of humor
Everything is so tense and gloomI almost feel like I gotta check the temperature in the room
Just as soon as I walk inIt'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 youBlend in with the rest of the room
Maybe just point me to the closest restroom
I don't need fucking man servin'Tryin to follow me around, and wipe my assLaugh at every single joke I crack——5——
And half of them ain't even funny like thatAhh 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 downListen 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 seeWhat it's like, to be me
All be you, let's trade shoes
Just to see what I'd be like toFeel 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 OoOo
They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you sOoOoo
Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful OoOo
They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you sOoOoo
Nobody asked for life to deal us
With these bullshit hands with doubtWe have to take these cards ourselves
And flip them, don't expect no help
Now I could have either justSat on my ass and pissed and moaned
But take this situation in which I'm placed in
And get up and get my ownI 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 didI just wanted to fit inEvery single place
Every school I wentI dreamed of being that cool kid
Even if it meant acting stupidAunt 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 thisTill I stuck my tungue on the frozen stop sign poll at 8 years oldI learned my lesson and cause I wasn't tryin to impress my friends no more
But I already told you my whole life storyNot just based on my description
Cause where you see it from where you're sittingIs probably 110% differentI guess we would have to walk a mileIn each other's shoes, at leastWhat size you where?
I wear tensLet's see if you can fit your feet
Walk my shoes, just to see
What it's like, to be meAll be you, let's trade shoesJust 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 OoOo
They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you sOoOoo
Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful OoOo
They can all get fucked. Just stay true to you sOoOoo
Lately I've been hard to reachI've been too long on my own
Everyone has a private worldWhere 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 sOoOoo Oo Oo
Yea... To my babies.
Stay strong.
Daddy will be soonAnd to the rest of the world, god gave you the shoes
That fit you, so put em on and wear emAnd 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 beautifulSOoOoo
