Once upon a time  in the l b c

On the eastside  off of 2-1 street
There lived a young man  cinderfellas his name
To make it interesting its me  peep game
I lived in a house with my cruel step-dad
And two step-brothers who treated me bad
I cooked  I cleaned  I scrubbed the floors
And I was like an errand boy runnin to the stores
My brothers  they used to boast and brag:
Weve got fubu  and youve got rags
And even worse than that  to make me feel low
They gave me a skateboard  while they had low-lows
Girls used to say  snoop  youre so cute
But you gets no rap with that to up khaki suit
Welllll  one day  up the avenue
There was a man  surrounded by the dogg pound crew
He said ah  hear ye  hear ye  come one  come all
The princess is having a royal ball
If you can rap  also dress fresh
You might win a date with the sweet princess
Well i  um  ran home when I heard the newsflash
I bust through the door  straight to my step-dad
I said  step-dad  may i
And before I could finish
Hell no   he replied (cinderfella )
My brothers were goin  they were gettin down
Even pops was goin for a piece of the crown (cinderfella )
They flaunted  they haunted  they knew what I wanted
We can and you cant
Is what they taunted (nana-nana-nah-nah)
They all stood there  laughin in my face
And as they walked out they said  clean up this place
(Cinderfella doggy dogg )

And Im the rapper doggy dogg you love
(Cinderfella doggy dogg )

And Im the rapper doggy dogg you love
(Cinderfella doggy dogg )

And Im the rapper doggy dogg you love

Well I shrugged  I hissed  they all tried to diss
And Id get them back if I had one wish
Before I could make my thought a phrase
There appeared a man from a puff of haze
He said  whats up  dogg  my name is herb
Im your fairy doggfather  you know it  word
Now Ive came here with the main purpose
Of granting you your fondest wish

I said  herb  my man  just make me fresh
And Im sure that I can handle  all the rest
With a snap of his fingers sparks began to shoot
And I was jumpin in my body: a slick silk suit
On my feet was some white tube socks
And a fresh pair of chucks from the foot-lock
I showed him my sack  and dont you know
With a snap  the sack became some doe-doe
Once again his hands began to flow
Then he changed my skateboard into a six-fo (damn )
He checked me over  passed me the keys
And said  one more thing before you leave
You must return before the stroke of twelve
Or youll turn back into your old self
(Cinderfella doggy dogg )

And Im the rapper doggy dogg you love
(Cinderfella doggy dogg )

And Im the rapper doggy dogg you love
I jumped in the low-low and went on my way
I got to the party bout ten  Id say
It was after eleven when I rocked the mic
And by the time I left the stage
The people were hyped (well alright )
The princess was starin  while holdin a drank
Reflected from her eyes was gold tank
She waved her hands like  hello  hi
Then gave another gesture like  come here  guy
I left the stage  girls came in flocks
The bitch was swingin from the hard knocks
I heard a sound  not a tick nor tock
Gong  first bell before twelve oclock
No time to waste  I broke out in haste
The princess followed in a futile chase
A quick steady pace is what I kept
Lost one of my chucks on one of those steps
For the six-fo I continued my stride
About this time I heard gong five
I was down the block when I heard gong eight
And the princess screamed out  wait  wait  wait  wait
(Cinderfella doggy dogg )

And Im the rapper doggy dogg you love
(Cinderfella doggy dogg )

And Im the rapper doggy dogg you love
I was almost home when my luck ran out
And there went my suit  my doe sack and clout
My fresh low-low  also went too
And there was no denyin that my night was through
The one all-star  the freshest thing I sported
Jumped on my board  for home I skateboarded
Made it to my pad  no time at all
Went to my room  or better yet the far wall
Hid the shoe away  still feelin pleased
Then jumped in my cot to catch some zs
Early the next mornin  when I awoke
I threw on me old slippers with me old housecoat
Slid into the front  my family stared at me
Sayin  wasnt that you  nah  it couldnt be
They kept askin me if I did my chores
My butt was saved by a knock at the door
Who is it    thats what my brothers barked
The princess  this sweet voice remarked
She said she was lookin for a certain man
Who could bring her the shoe like the one in her hand
The family ran around with their heads in the air

Bringin her shoes from everywhere

She just shook her head  a nod of relief
And said  no  thats not the one that Im lookin for  chief
I ran in the room and got my shoe
And said  is this the one youre referring to
Well she said  yes  and youre so cute
But wheres your doe-doe and slick silk suit
I put on the shoe  then there came a flash of light
And I was wearin shit  from just last night
Looked out the window  saw the six-fo
Yelled to my family  Ive got to go
We drove up the avenue  the princess and i
And in back of me  I heard my family cry
