I took my bruises, took my lumps
Fell low and I got right back up
But I want that trip to get psyched back up
And in place for me to blame the mic back up
I don't recognize how or why or when
I ended up this position I'm in
I'm starting to feel dissin' again
So I decided only to clean this pen
Up and try to prepare an effort to vent
But I simply can't admit
Or do to grips with the fact that I may be through with rap
I want a new outlet
And I love some shit's so difficult to swallow
But I can't just sit back and wallow
In my own sorrow but I recognise 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 get to pass 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 find 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 lawful to you
So don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked, just stay lawful to you
I guess I'm starting to suffer my sensation of humor
Everything's so tense and gloom
I almost feel like I gotta check
The temperature of the room
Just as shortly as I walking in, it's like all eyes on me
And so I try to annul any eye contact
'Cause if I do that so it opens the door
For conversation, like I wish that
I'm not look for special attention
I exactly wanna be just wish you
Blend in with the balance of the room
Maybe just show me to the nearest restroom
I don't want no fucking man servant
Trying to accompany me roughly 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 crying 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
to see what it'd be like
To find 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 lawful to you
So don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked, just stay lawful to you
Nobody asked for spirit to address us
With these bullshit hands we're dealt
We gotta take these cards ourselves
And pass 'em, don't ask no help
Now I could've either just sat on my ass
And stiff and moaned
Or make this position in which I'm placed in
And get up and get my own
I was never the case of kid
To hold by the doorway and take his bags
I sat on the porch and hoped and prayed
For a dad to read up who never did
I only wanted to fit in
Every one place, every school I went
I dreamed of existence that cool kid
Even if it meant acting stupid
And Edna always told me
Keep making that case 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 move my friends no more
But I already told you my whole life story
Not only based on my description
'Cause where you see it, from where you're sittin
It's probably 110% different
I think we would give to pass 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 find 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 lawful to you
So don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay lawful to you
So don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay lawful to you
So
Lately I've been difficult to reach
I've been too long on my own
Everybody has their secret world
Where they can be alone
Are you calling me?
Are you trying to get through?
Are you reach out for me?
I'm reaching out for you
Yeah, to my babies
Stay strong, daddy will be home soon
And to the remainder of the world
God gave you place 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 always let anyone tell you you ain't beautiful♥
Lately I've been difficult to reach
I've been too long on my own
Everybody has their secret world
Where they can be alone
Are you calling me?
Are you trying to get through?
Are you reach out for me?
I'm reaching out for you
I'm only so fucking depressed
I simply can't look to get out this slump
If I could only get over this hump
But I want something to force me out this
