EMINEM CINDERELLA MEN 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, He can’t afford to be a label in this day in age, And at this stage of the game Mediocrity can no longer be allowed to fly
