It's like a fairy tale come
It's like a fairy tale come
It's like a fairy tale
Come true
(Whisper Zemira)
Vs 1: To the left is The Bronx, mother of a Queens
A king named Brooklyn, below and in between
The island of Staten's a place called Manhattan
(to the left to the left), an entire regime
SoSoon mother Bronx took over the scene
As the undisputed ruler of the whole industry
Little did she know, her expansion to the west
Left her in the middle, of a little mess
She pa**ed and she left, but on her way back
She got caught slipping fell into the same trap
Similar to the west, these ziggins came strapped
Turns out it was some dudes that she knew from way back
Talking bout (guess who stepped in the house)
Some loud mouths repping from the kingdom of the south
Once again she got out, made it back to the scene
No longer undisputed but she still was Queen
Chs: Zemira, I'm tryna get you to see
That you can be anything you wanna be
Don't let the little shhhhh get in the way
Of your hopes and your dreams, and turn you astray
(Little lady) now Sway, (little lady) now sway
Don't let the little shhhh get in the way
You can be anything you wanna be, Zemira
I'm just tryna get you to see a little clearer
Vs 2: There was this woman, spinning on her head
(spinning on her what) yeah you heard what I said
Cla**-ic-lly trained, she could've made bread
Dancing ballet but chose breaking instead
In-stead of bright lit stages, she was spraying spray paint
On dim lit stations where the city moves trains in
Traded the possibility of being famous
For changing the game she was raised in (raised in)
Its amazing
How pavement transforms into a gang wars saving graces
Before bloodstains, su-stained a thugs pain
Gangs walked it out in break bouts and she braved it
Never gets credit for this thing she made
Hip-Hop it's a changing beyond containment
Containers can only sustain things for so long
We still hail the queen so hold on Zemira
Chs:
Bridge:
Don't waste time on lies
It's okay to cry
We just want you to see a little clearer
Begging for you to hear us so please don't fear us
Just open your heart you'll see
Baby girl in time you'll seeeeeeeeeee
It's like a fairy tale come true
Vs 3: Zemira, symbolic for survivor
Short comings come tall, don't let em deprive ya
The courage of a lion, the eye of a tiger
You are Hip-Hop in the form of McGuiver
Something Out Of Nothing, something to admire
How you make miracles, suspended from a wire
I ad-mire the way you've moved boulders
That's why I inspire to do this for my culture
Chs:
