[Intro: Eminem & Kobe]
~#**************#~
Yeah, you know, technically
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
So fuck it, might as well make the most of it
~#**************#~
(Amen) Yeah! Ha-ha
~#**************#~
(Amen) Feels good
~#**************#~
(Amen) Woo!
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
(Amen) But I aint blowin this one
~#**************#~
(Amen) Nah, man, ha-ha
~#**************#~
(Amen) Shit, I feel like I can do anything now
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Eminem & Kobe]
~#**************#~
Who can catch lightning 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, take his hands and cup em
~#**************#~
Spit a rhyme to freeze a clock, take the hands of time and cuff em
~#**************#~
Cinderella Man, Cinderella Man
~#**************#~
Cinderella Man, Cinderella Man
~#**************#~
Theres a storm comin that the weatherman couldnt predict
~#**************#~
I start to bug, prick, you better flee, cause I get ticked
~#**************#~
Its a wrap, I was down, when I was down I was kicked
~#**************#~
I got up, Im back to punch you to the ground, youre tricked
~#**************#~
Its a trap, fuck my last CD, the shits in my trash
~#**************#~
Ill be goddamned if another rapper gets in my ass
~#**************#~
I hit the gas and I spit every rap as if its my last
~#**************#~
You can die in the blink of an eye, so bat your eyelashes
~#**************#~
And keep winkin and blowin kisses cause youre flirtin with death
~#**************#~
Im destroyin your livelihood, I aint just hurtin your rep
~#**************#~
I catch a flow and get goin, no remorse Im showin, aint slowin
~#**************#~
For no one, knowin theres nothin you can do about it
~#**************#~
Zero in on my 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 boys 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 dont blame you, frankly, he would too
~#**************#~
This game could ill afford to lose him, how bout you?
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus: Eminem & Kobe]
~#**************#~
Now guess who? (Hey) Heres a clue (Hey)
~#**************#~
He came to the ball in his wife beater, lost his Nike shoe
~#**************#~
Its in your ass (Hey), hes in your ass, hes all up in your psyche too (Hey)
~#**************#~

[Verse 2: Eminem & Kobe]
~#**************#~
Fuck catchin lightning, 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, dont ask how
~#**************#~
Fuck the past, motherfucker, hes the shit right now, hes

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
~#**************#~
But didnt come to bore you with the Cinderella story
~#**************#~
Nor did he come to do the same old cant 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 wont make no more mistakes, shit, my
~#**************#~
Potatos baked, homie, the veggies on my plate can fly
~#**************#~
My filet is smokin weed—yeah, faggot, the stakes are high
~#**************#~
Shit, I aint even sposed to be here by the grace of God
~#**************#~
The skin on my teeth and a hair on my nuts, I skated by
~#**************#~
Now yall are on thin ice with ankle weights, Id hate to lie
~#**************#~
How fuckin irritated are you? How much in your face am I?
~#**************#~
And aint shit you can do but fear it, Proof is here in spirit
~#**************#~
And Im his spittin image, I mirror it when I stand near it
~#**************#~
Your pussy lyric, I “cunt” hear it
~#**************#~
Who forms pyramids and raps circles around square lyricists?
~#**************#~
