Cinderella Man Lyrics

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...

Ahh ah ah ah eh eh eh eh ehhh

[Spoken]
Yeah, haha
Feels good,
Whooo,
Guess I'm lucky,
Some of us don't get a second chance.
But I ain't blowing this one.
Naah man, haha,
Shit I feel like I can do anything now


Who can catch lightning in the bottle,
Set fire to water,
Commin out the nozzle on the fire hose,
Quiet and suavish?

Cinderella man, cinderella man, cinderella man, cinderella man.

Smash an hour glass,
Grab the sand,
Take his hands and cufflinks,
Spin around to freeze the clock,
Take the hands of time an' 'cuff 'em.

Cinderella man, cinderella man, cinderella man, cinderella man.

There's a storm comin' that the weather man couldn't predict,
I start the ball prick; you better flee cuz I' get ticked
It's a rap, I was down, when I was down I was kicked
I got up
I'm bout to punch ya to the ground, ya trick,
It's a trap,
Fuck my last cd the shit's in my trash,
I' 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 ya eyelashes, and keep winking and blowin' kisses
Cuz you're flirting with death
I'm destroyin' your livelihood, I ain't just hurting your rep,
I catch a flow and get goin',
No remorse, I'm showin' they slowin', for no one,
Knowin' there is nothing you can do about it
Zeroin' on the target like a marksman,
The target is you,
I shut ya lane down,
Took ya spot, parked in it too,
Watchin' it flow, lighter fluid, saliva what can ya do,
Go get ya crew to hype ya up stand behind you like 'whoooo!'
That boys hot enough to melt hell burn satan too,
Fry his ass, and put his asses back together with glue,
See you can hate em, he don't blame you frankly he would too,
This game could ill afford to lose him,
How 'bout you?

Now guess who who? (hey),
Heres a clue (hey),
He came to a ball in a wife beater
Lost his nike shoe,
It's in ya ass (hey),
He's in ya ass, he's all up in ya psyche too,
Now what's his name

Cinde-rella man,
Cinde-rella man,
Cinde-rella,
Cinde-rella man,
Cinde-rella man,

If I had a time machine, I'm passin' ya,
Cinderella man,
Cinderella man,
Cinderella man,
Cinderella man,
Music is my time machine
Cinderella man,
Cinderella man,
Cinderella man,
Cinderella man,

Fuck catchin' lightnin'
He struck it
Screamed shut up and 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
Cinerella man
Cinderella man...

Cinderella man
Send the fellow shady dang came to wrap
The game up in cellophane,
Raise hell from hell he came,
But didn't come to bore you with the cinderella story,
Nor did he come to do the same,
Or can't afford to be a label in this day in age,
And at this stage of the game
Mediocrity cannot be allowed to fly,
So say bye,
To the O H I,
To the new que sera
Consider it his last hurrah,
Coup de grâce
Raise em high in the sky,
Keep em up
Time to bring the place alive,
Thanks for bein patient
I will make no more mistakes,
Shit my potatoes baked,
Homie the veggies on my plate can fly,
My fillet is smoking weed,
Yeah faggot, the steaks are high,
Shit I ain't even suppose to be here
By the grace of god,
The skin on my teeth
And the hair on my nuts
I skated by,
Now y'all are on thin ice
With anchor weights I hate to lie,
How fuckin' irritated are you,
How much in ya face am I,
It ain't shit you could do but fear it,
Proof is here in spirit
I'm the spittinn image
I'll 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?
Heres a clue:
He came to the ball in his wifebeater,
Lost his Nike shoe, it's in ya ass, he's in ya ass,
He's all up in ya psyche too.
Now what's his name?

Cinde-rella man,
Cinde-rella man,
Cinde-rella,
Cinde-rella man,
Cinde-rella man,

If I had a time machine, I'm passin ya,
Cinderella man,
Cinderella man,
Cinderella man,
Cinderella man,

Music is my time machine ahhh ohhhhh,

Cinderella man,
Cinderella man,
Cinderella man,
Cinderella man

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" :)

Cover art for Cinderella Man lyrics by Eminem

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

Cover art for Cinderella Man lyrics by Eminem

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

Cover art for Cinderella Man lyrics by Eminem

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) I don't know a lot of people who actually... died... that had a second chance (fifth line of the spoken verse)

Yea I agree with Bullbuzor lol

Eminem has a song specifically dedicated to Proof called "You're Never Over"

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

Cover art for Cinderella Man lyrics by Eminem

"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."

Cover art for Cinderella Man lyrics by Eminem

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."

Lyric Correction
Cover art for Cinderella Man lyrics by Eminem

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 :-)

Cover art for Cinderella Man lyrics by Eminem

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 :-)
