Lately I've been hard to reach, ive been too long on my own
everybody has a private world when 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
[Verse #1]
I'm just so fucking 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 I got right back up
but I need that spark to get psyched
Back up in order for me to pic the mic back up I don't know how or why or when I ended up in this position I'm in I'm starting to feel distant again so I decided just to pick this pen
Up and 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 fallow
One tough act to fallow, I'll be one tough act to fallow
Here today gone tomorrow but you'd have to walk a thousand miles
[hook]
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 I'd be like to
Feel your pain you feel mine go inside each others mind
Just to see what we find, look at shit through each others mind
But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay true to you
Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful they can all get fucked just stay true to you
[Verse #2 ]
I think I'm starting to loose my sense of humor, everything is 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 o try to avoid any eye contact cause if I do that it opens a door for conversations 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 fucking man-servant tryna fallow me around 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 goddamn!" 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
[hook]
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 I'd be like to
Feel your pain you feel mine go inside each others mind
Just to see what we find, look at shit through each others mind
But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay true to you
Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful they can all get fucked just stay true to you
[verse #3]
Nobody asked for life to deal with us these bullshit hands we're dealt
We gotta take these cards ourselves and flip 'em don't expect no help,now I could've 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 and 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 it'll get stuck like that" meanwhile I'm just standing there holding my tongue trying to talk *like this*
'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 impress my friends no mo'
But I already told you my hole life story not just based on my description cause where you see it from where your sittin' it's 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 10's, let's see if you can fit your feet
[hook]
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 I'd be like to
Feel your pain you feel mine go inside each others mind
Just to see what we find, look at shit through each others mind
But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay true to you
Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful they can all get fucked just stay true to you

To my babies: stay strong daddy'll be home soon, and to the rest of the world, God gave you them shoes that fit you
So put 'em on and wear 'em, be yourself man, be proud of who you are
Even if it sounds corny, never let no one tell you, you ain't beautiful
