Beautiful

Mixr：万曦

Photogragh：绅士言

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

Then I'm reaching out for you

I'm just so f****n' depressed

I just can't seem to get out this slump

If I could just get over this hump

But I need somethin' 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 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 s**t's 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 other's minds

Just to see what we find

Look at s**t through each other's eyes

But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful

They can all get f**ked, just stay true to you

Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful

They can all get f**ked, just stay true to you

Nobody asked for life to deal us

With these bulls**t 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 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 standin' there

Holdin' my tongue, tryin' to talk like this

'Til I stuck my tongue on that frozen stop sign pole

At eight years old; I learned my lesson then

‘Cause I wasn't tryin' to impress my friends no mo'

But I already told you my whole life story

Not just based on my description

‘Cause where you see it from where you're 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—

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 other's minds

Just to see what we find

Look at s**t through each other's eyes

But don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful

They can all get f**ked, just stay true to you

Don't let 'em say you ain't beautiful

They can all get f**ked, just stay true to you

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

Then I'm reaching out for you
