Cinderella Man

Yeah

You know, technically

I'm not even really supposed to be here right now

So fuck it

Might as well make the most of it

(Amen) yeah

(Amen) feels good

(Amen) woo

(Amen) guess I'm lucky

(Amen) some of us don't get a second chance

(Amen) but I ain't blowin' this one

(Amen) nah, man

(Amen) shit, I feel like I can do anything now

Who can catch lightin' in a bottle, set fire to water

Comin' out the nozzle on a fire hose, flyer than swatters

Cinderella Man, Cinderella Man

Cinderella Man, Cinderella Man

Smash an hourglass, grab the sand, takes his hands and cup 'em

Spin a rhyme to freeze the clock, take the hands of time and cuff 'em

Cinderella Man, Cinderella Man

Cinderella Man, Cinderella Man

There's a storm comin' that the weatherman couldn't predict

I start to bug, prick, you better flee 'cause I get ticked

It's a wrap, I was down, when I was down I was kicked

I got up, I'm back to punch you to the ground, you trick

It's a trap, fuck my last CD, that shit's in my trash

I'll be God-damned if another rapper gets in my ass

I hit the gas and I spit every rap as if it's my last

You can die in the blink of an eye, so bat your eyelashes

And keep winkin' and blowin' kisses 'cause you're flirtin' with death

I'm destroyin' your livelihood, I ain't just hurtin' your rep

I catch a flow and get goin', no remorse I'm showin', ain't slowin' for no one

Knowin' there's nothin' you can do about it

Zero in on the target like a marksman, the target is you

I shut your lane down, took your spot, parked in it too

Arsenic flow, lighter fluid saliva, what can you do?

Go get your crew to hype you up, stand behind you like, "Woo"

That boy's hot enough to melt hell, burn Satan too

Fry his ass and put his ashes back together with glue

So you can hate him, he don't blame you, frankly, he would too

This game could ill afford to lose him, 'how bout you?

Now guess who (hey), here's a clue (hey)

He came to the ball in his wife-beater, lost his Nike shoe

It's in your ass (hey), he's in your ass

He's all up in your psyche too (hey)

Now, what's his name? (Hey)

Cinderella Man

Cinderella Man

Cinderella (hey, hey)

Cinderella Man (hey)

Cinderella Man

Hey, hey (hey, hey)

If I had a time machine

I'd be

Cinderella Man, Cinderella Man

Cinderella Man, Cinderella Man

Music is my time machine

So call me

Cinderella Man, Cinderella Man

Cinderella Man, Cinderella Man

Fuck catchin' lightnin', he struck it, screamed, "Shut up" at thunder

Then flipped the world upside down and made it rain upward

Cinderella Man, Cinderella Man

Cinderella Man, Cinderella Man

Rewound the future to the present, paused it, don't ask how

Fuck the past, motherfucker, he's the shit right now

He's Cinderella Man, Cinderella Man

Cinderella Man, Cinderella Man

Cinderella Man, Cinderfella Shady Dane

Came to wrap the game up in cellophane

Raise hell, from Hell he came

I didn't come to bore you with a Cinderella story

Nor did he come to do the same-old, can't afford to be a lame-o

In this day and age, and at this stage of the game

Mediocrity can no longer be allowed to fly

So say bye to the old, H-I to the new, que será

Consider it his last hurrah, the coup de grâce

Raise 'em high in the sky, keep 'em up

Time to bring the place alive

Thanks for bein' patient, I won't make no more mistakes, shit, my

Potato's baked, homie, the veggies on my plate can fly

My filet is smokin' weed, yeah, faggot, the stakes are high

Shit, I ain't even supposed to be here by the grace of God

The skin on my teeth and a hair on my nuts, I skated by

Now y'all are on thin ice with ankle weights, I'd hate to lie

How fuckin' irritated are you? How much in your face am I?

And ain't shit you can do but fear it, Proof is here in spirit

And I'm his spittin' image, I mirror it when I stand near it

Your pussy lyric, I couldn't hear it

Who forms pyramids and raps circles around square lyricists?

Who? (hey), here's a clue (hey)

He came to the ball in his wife-beater, lost his Nike shoe

It's in your ass (hey), he's in your ass

He's all up in your psyche too (hey)

Now, what's his name? (Hey)

Cinderella Man

Cinderella Man

Cinderella (hey, hey)

Cinderella Man (hey)

Cinderella Man

Hey, hey (hey, hey)

If I had a time machine

Cinderella Man, Cinderella Man

(I'd be) Cinderella Man, Cinderella Man

Music is my time machine

So call me

Cinderella Man, Cinderella Man

Cinderella Man, Cinderella Man
