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 fuckin 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 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 shit 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'd find
Look at shit through each others eyes
But don't let them say you ain't beautiful oooh
They can all get f@#ked, just stay true to you
Ooohh
(repeat)
I think I'm startin to lose my sense of humor
everythings so tense and gloom
Almost feel like I got to check
the temperture of the room just as soon as
I walk in, it's like all eyes on me
Do I try to avoid any eye contact
Cause if I do that, then it opens the door
For coversation, like I want that
I'm not looking for extra attention
I just want to be just like you
Blend in with the rest of the room
Naybe just point me to the closest restroom
I don't need no fuckin man servant
Tryna follow me around and wipe my ass
And laugh at every single joke I crack
And half of them aint even funny like
"Ahh, 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 ain't gotta trade our shoes
And you aint 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'd find
Look at shit through each others eyes
But don't let them say you ain't beautiful oooh
They can all get f@#ked, just stay true to you
Ooohh
(repeat)
Nobody asked for life to deal us
What these bullshit 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 ass and pissed 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 tryna talk like this
Till I stuck my tongue on that frozen
Stop sign pole at 8 years old
I learned my lesson then
Cause I wasn't tryin 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, from where you're sittin
It's probably 110 percent different
I guess we would have to walk a mile
In each others shoes at least
What size you wear? I wear 10's
Let's see if you could 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
G inside each others minds
Just to see what we'd find
Look at shit through each others eyes
But don't let them say you ain't beautiful oooh
They can all get f@#ked, just stay true to you
Ooohh
(repeat)
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
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 em. Be yourself man
Be proud of who you are
Even if it sounds corny, don't ever let anyone tell you
you aint beautiful
