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?
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 
In order for me to pick the mic back up

I don't know how or why or when
I ended up in this position I'm in
I'm startin' to feel distant again
So I decided just to pick this pen

Up to 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 shits so hard to swallow, 
but 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
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 find
Look at shit through each others eyes

But don't let them say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked, just stay true to you
Don't let them 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 
So I try to avoid any eye contact
Cause if I do that it 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 fuckin' man servant 
Trying to follow me around and wipe my ass
Laugh at every single joke I crack
And half of them ain't even funnylike 

"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 find
Look at shit through each others eyes

But don't let them say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked, just stay true to you
Don't let them 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 them, don't expect no help

Now I could of 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
Or sat on the porch and hoped and prayed
For a dad to show up who never did

I just wanted to fit in 
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 til it gets stuck like that
Meanwhile I'm just standing there 
Holding my tongue, trying to talk like that

Then I stuck my tongue on that frozen stop sign pole 
At eight 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 form where you're sitting 
Is probably 110% different

I guess we would have to walk a miles 
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 find
Look at shit through each others eyes

But don't let them say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked, just stay true to you
Don't let them say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked, just stay true to you

So don't let them 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 a 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, dad will be home soon
And to the rest of the world... God gave you them shoes, to fit you
So put them on and wear them... 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
