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

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
i didnt get that this was about proof at all - but em. the analogy is pretty clear, just came from a really rough place where people held him back and he's rising above. the proof song is you're never over.
i freaking love this song, one of em's best choruses. this album is sick.
@Johann4u
Its "say bye to the OLD, H-I (as in hi) to the new" :)
i like: Now guess who who?, Here's a clue, He came to a ball in a wife beater Lost his nike shoe
good reference to his white-trashyness
you have it:
"who forms pyramids and raps circles around square lyrics"
i think it should be changed to lyricists* makes a little more sense.
good song though
this songs about the rapper proof who eminem grew up with in detroit when he was a kid. he was in d12 but he died in 2006 so this is his song to him
Uh, not really (from what I understood)<br /> I don't know a lot of people who actually... died... that had a second chance (fifth line of the spoken verse)<br />
Yea I agree with Bullbuzor lol<br /> <br /> Eminem has a song specifically dedicated to Proof called "You're Never Over"<br /> <br /> I think this one is just about himself, like about his confidence in himself, ya know? Like talking like he's the shit (because he is :-) )
No it wolnt be because Your never over is about Proof
"came to rap the game up / And sell the fame" Should be "Wrap the game up / In cellophane."
"Prove us here in spirit" should be "Proof is here in spirit."
came to rap the game up / And sell the fame" Should be "Wrap the game up / In cellophane."
"Prove us here in spirit" should be "Proof is here in spirit."
"Get back if the stakes are high" should be "Yeah, faggot, the stakes are high."
Sorry guys. I've fixed all of the errors you've mentioned so far. Please let me know if there are any more.
idk if you're allowed to post this as the lyrics, but im almost 100% positive he says,
"Your pussy lyric, I c*nt hear it,"
see what he did there? even if thats not exactly what he says, em sure as hell meant to sound like thats what he's saying lol
Haha, clever.
omg my bad for basically posting the same thing as you, i should have read all the comments :-)
So I think it should be ''mediocrity can no longer be allowed to fly''
and
''you pussy lyrics, i CUNT hear it''
you know like a play on words? lol
I'm pretty sure that's what the lyrics say, but I could be wrong :-)
