[Intro/Sampled refrain] West coast cinderella... [Verse 1] Now let me tell you 'bout this girl I know Pretty little something with a heart of gold Her name was Cindy, she was destined to great things I'll start the story of when she was 'bout eighteen She lived in this little house south of Arlington Right at the bottom of the hill where the harlem's is Three room Mates, they gave her hell Well they was sisters but you really cound't tell, cause They would yell at her, would clown her Nothing good to say whenever they around her They Sat around all day and did nothing Had two jobs, get pregnant and f**ing Wellfare queens who tought they slick They tought they had a maid living of the week They were just so mean, made her work double shifts at the crisp cream So fed up she wanted to kick and scream But she helded all in like Listerine And it burned like so much venom in a mouth But if she spoke up they probably kick her out See, they had the same damn daddy, she had the different one Momma was a victim of the old Hit & Run Treated them like gold, tretad her like whatever But Cindy kept hope that things will get better Prayed every day for a miracle to come Is amazing how beautiful a spirit had become She dind't blend in to give in to the wackness Stayed positive and that made her attractive And that attracted a man she deserved Handsome little devil with a heart like hers He wasn't rich or drivin' a Bentley It seemed like things were looking up for Cindy I know you feeling like the world is against you Hurt so deep you don't wanna continue [Chorus] Ain't nothing but a west coast cinderella You felling low me, no one to deffend you Hold your head high baby I believe in you [Verse 2] The sisters tried to hate, they wanted to date him too Everytime he come trough they say "Hey boo" But he never feel bored, he was thick to the game Never had he seen three chicks so lame And the mother shows up, ploting and scheming Been the one resent for a sinfull demons Sittin he was dreaming about the house and the kids But her mother came trough and guess what she did She played sick so she needed a help And Cindy had no time for a man overselves So he said "let's take care of her togheter, I'll stay by your side till your mother get better" But that didn't work no injest wouldn't do Her mother dind't want her dream to come true Moma got well and Cindy moved out So she sent the three sisters over to the house Her man was gone when the girls came over They jumped her and putted Cindy in a coma For three weeks she layed silent in the bed Her man prayed everyday that she wasn't dead He sat by side with some books that he read One day spoke to her and this is what he said "I know you've been struggling alone forever But comeback to me and I swear I'll make it better" With that her eyes opened and then she smiled Cried a little bit and they prayed for a while They stop fighting and gave it over to god Soon her sisters got caught up for wellfare fraud Her mama Locked up for selling weed on the side Now there's nothing but love on the house she reside Putted all behind and they started a new chapter Now Cinderella lives happly ever after [Chorus] Ain't nothing but a west coast cinderella
