    Beautiful Lyrics – Eminem – Lately I’ve been hard to reach 

    [Intro: Paul Rodgers]
    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 tryin’ to get through?
    Are you reaching out for me?
    I’m reaching out for you

    [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 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

    [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

    [Verse 3: Eminem]
    Nobody asked for life to deal us
    With these bullshit 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 actin’ 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 a 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—
    [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

    [Bridge: Paul Rodgers, Eminem]
    Lately I’ve been hard to reach
    I’ve been too long on my own (Oh)
    Everybody has a private world
    Where they can be alone (So)
    Are you calling me?
    Are you tryin’g to get through? (Oh)
    Are you reaching out for me?
    I’m reaching out for you (So)

    [Outro: Eminem]
    Yeah
    To my babies:
    Stay strong
    Your Dad’ll be home soon
    And to the rest of the world:
    God gave you shoes
    To fit you
    So put ’em on and wear ’em
    Be yourself, man
    Be proud of who you are
    Even if it sounds corny
    Don’t never let no one tell you
    You ain’t beautiful (So-oh-oh-oh-oh)
