Beautiful (2006)

[Verse 1: Eminem]

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 then 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 shit'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 milеs—

[Pre-Chorus: Eminem]

In my shoes, just to see

What it's like to be mе

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 shit through each other's eyes

[Chorus: Eminem]

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

They can all get fucked, just stay true to you, so

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

They can all get fucked, just stay true to you, so

[Verse 2: Eminem]

I think I'm startin' 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, then it opens a door

For conversation like I want that

I'm not lookin' 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

Tryna follow 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—

[Pre-Chorus: Eminem]

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 shit through each other's eyes

[Chorus: Eminem]

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

They can all get fucked, just stay true to you, so

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

They can all get fucked, just stay true to you, so
