Eminem - Beautiful
 

Lately, I've been hard to reach 
I've been too long on my own 
Everyone has their 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 [bad word] #39; 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 [bad word]  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 
and try to make an attempt to vent 
But I just can't admit [bad word] to grips 
That I may be done with rap, I need a new outlet 
And I know some [bad word]  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 

 [bad word] 
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'd find, look at [bad word] through each others eyes 
But don't let them say you ain't beautiful 
They can all get [bad word]  just stay [bad word] to you 
But don't let them say you ain't beautiful 
They can all get [bad word]  just stay [bad word] to you 

I think I'm startin' to lose my sense of humor 
Every thing's so tense and gloom 
I almost feel like I got to 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, then it opens the door for conversation, like I want that 
I'm not looking for extra attention 
I want to 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 [bad word] #39; man servant, tryin' a follow me around and wipe my [bad word] 
And laugh at every single joke I crack and half of them ain't even funny like 
"Ahh, Marshall you're so funny, man, you should be [bad word]  god [bad word] quot; 
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 
 [bad word]  we ain't gotta trade our shoes, and you ain't gotta walk no thousand miles 

 [bad word] 
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'd find 
Look at [bad word] through each others eyes 
But don't let them say you ain't beautiful 
They can all get [bad word]  just stay [bad word] to you 
But don't let them say you ain't beautiful 
They can all get [bad word]  just stay [bad word] to you 

Nobody asked for life to deal us what these [bad word] hands were dealt 
We gotta take these cards ourselves, and flip them, don't expect no help 
Now I could of either, just sat on my [bad word] and [bad word] and moaned 
Or take this situation in which I'm placed, 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 pray 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 actin' stupid 
And Aunt Edna was told me, keep makin' that face, it'll get stuck like that 
Meanwhile, I'm just standin' there holdin' my tongue tryin' a talk
