Cinderfella Dana Dane (a cappella) Songtext
von Dana Dane

Once upon a time Brooklyn was the scene

In the projects that they call Fort Greene
There lived a young man, Cinderfella′s his name

To make it interesting it's me, Dana Dane
(Cinderfella) I lived in a house with my cruel stepdad
And two stepbrothers who treated me bad
(Cinderfella) I cooked, I cleaned, I scrubbed the floors
And I would like an errand boy runnin′ to the stores

My brothers, they used to boast and brag

"We've got fresh gear and you've got rags"
Even worse than that to make me feel low
They gave me a straw hat while they had Kangols


Girls used to say "Dane, you′re so cute
But you gets no rap with them polyester suits"
Well, one day up the avenue
There was a man surrounded by the Fort Greene crew
He said "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 stepdad

I said "Stepdad, may I?"
And before I could finish "Hell no" he replied
(Cinderfella) My brothers would get wind, they would get down
Even pops was gaming for a piece of the crown
(Cinderfella) They flaunted, they haunted, they knew what I wanted
"We can and you can′t" is what they taunted
They all stood there, laughing in my face
And as they walked out they said "Clean up this place"

(Cinderfella Dana Dane)
But I'm the rapper Dana Dane with fame
(Cinderfella Dana Dane)
Yes, I′m the rapper Dana Dane with fame
