Once upon a time in the L.B.C.

On the Eastside off of 2 1 Street

There lived a young man Cinderfella's his name

To make it interesting it's 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:

"We've got Fubu and you've 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, you're 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 can't," 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 I'm the rapper Doggy Dogg you love

(Cinderfella Doggy Dogg!)

And I'm the rapper Doggy Dogg you love

(Cinderfella Doggy Dogg!)

And I'm the rapper Doggy Dogg you love

(Cinderfella Doggy Dogg!)

And I'm the rapper Doggy Dogg you love



Well I shrugged, I hissed, they all tried to diss

And I'd 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, "What's up, Dogg? My name is Herb

I'm your fairy Doggfather, you know it, word!

Now I've came here with the main purpose

Of granting you your fondest wish"

I said, "Herb, my man, just make me fresh

And I'm 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 don't 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 you'll turn back into your old self"

And I'm the rapper Doggy Dogg you love

I jumped in the low-low and went on my way

I got to the party 'bout ten, I'd 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 o'clock

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!"

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 Z's

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, "Wasn't that you? Nah, it couldn't be"

They kept askin me if I did my chores

My butt was saved by a knock at the door

"Who is it?", that's 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, that's not the one that I'm lookin' for, Chief"

I ran in the room and got my shoe

And said, "Is this the one you're referring to?"

Well she said, "Yes, and you're so cute

But where's 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, "I've GOT to go!"

We drove up the Avenue, the princess and I

And in back of me, I heard my family cry...
