Beautiful AZ Lyrics By Eminem

[Intro]

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

[Verse 1]

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 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 to 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 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

[Chorus]

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 find, look at shit through each others eyes

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

They can all get fucked, just stay true to you

Don't let them say you ain't beautiful

They can all get fucked, just stay true to you

[Verse 2]

I think I'm starting 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 it then it opens the door for conversation,

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 fuckin' man servant,

trying to follow me around and wipe my ass

Laugh at every single joke I crack, and half of them ain't even funny,

like "Ha!

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 don't gotta trade our shoes, and you ain't gotta walk no thousand miles

[Chorus]

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 find, look at shit through each others eyes

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

They can all get fucked, just stay true to you

Don't let them say you ain't beautiful

They can all get fucked, just stay true to you

[Verse 3]

Nobody asked for life to deal us with these bullshit hands we're 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 in, 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 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 til it gets stuck like that

Meanwhile I'm just standing there holding my tongue,

trying to talk like this!

Then I stuck my tongue on that frozen stop sign pole at eight years old

I learned my lesson then,

'cause I wasn't trying 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 form where you're sitting,

is probably 110% different

I guess we would have to walk a miles in each others shoes at least

What size you wear, I wear 10's, let's see if you can fit your feet

[Chorus]

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 find, look at shit through each others eyes

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

They can all get fucked, just stay true to you

Don't let them say you ain't beautiful

They can all get fucked, just stay true to you

[Outro]

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

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 them... be yourself man,

be proud of who you are

Even if it sounds corny...

don't ever let no one tell you, you ain't beautiful
