Beautiful by Eminem
Intro - i pretended I was throwing bottles
Trust...
I didn’t realize I was really in reach
And I thought how I lived I’d try to teach
and I’m not the type to sit back and wallow
But shit I been thru just too hard to swallow
I heard you “that’s her” didn’t mentally even think to process it
Didn’t ask to balance the world I just wanted to stand on top of it
So when I first woke up I just assumed that you let it
17 years later still trying to make sense of the blur
Hoping faith gets us back where we were
I remember that nite I stayed up and called out numbers for hours
Would’ve been funnier back then if we just started to send black flowers
I missed that concert got sick again and stood right back up; god must be pissed again, figured it was just my luck
“One tough act to follow”
🎼 Here today gone tomorrow “ but that act I was too scared to follow
Chorus
... I didn’t
The quote I wrote when pre war left death in my lap
And when a straight girl started walking among the homies really just giving dap
At one point like fuck it, it just sucks being good at something bad
And money wasn’t ever evil until it played my mom by my dad
And nah I ain’t mad anymore
And I don’t regret being caught in the war
What I can’t understand is how I’m the one left alone at the door
There’s usually only 5 if and when I was in a room
So all the rumors became exaggerated as the racists consumed
I assume
“Cheryl, getting paid so easy god damn” “but she had it so easy” I still don’t regret going all in for my Fam.
“So.... “
Chorus
I can’t look most people in the eye when I’m mad
And I think I smile more the more that I’m sad
Smile and wave but It didn’t feel like I had pain inside, just loss
But the image I painted to portray was hard as the ballerina started to hide the more the dice were tossed
Did you see?
The world can turn in a moment or grind to a hault
And you left in a world of reasonable doubt and you know it ain’t even your fault
I always showered a compliment that wasn’t fake but was true
Find a positive in someone first until you see how they do
I overtook my relationship with god I don’t understand how he’s always mad at me for nothing
I used to think I could read people until she caught my ex boyfriend playing cards bluffing
Hitting that stop sign bruising my knuckles cause it’s the lie we came up with protecting a friend
But she told him we lied so I lost one instead and it made me look like i was the one in sin
I used to think playing dumb was just an act
I used to think my story be told in all colors on my back
What size I wear? I wear nine... how many more miles through this mind?
Chorus
