[Intro – Spoken, swagger] Yeah… once upon a time… But not the bedtime version, baby… This one got a little attitude [Verse 1] Little Red ridin’ through the hood so slick Basket full of trouble, yeah the girl’s got tricks Wolf on the corner say “where you gonna go?” She said “mind your business, I got cookies to throw” Glass slipper shatter when Cinderella danced Prince tripped twice tryin’ to shoot his shot romance Fairy godmother said “midnight’s the deal” She said “cool, I’m ghostin’—I don’t do fairytale reels” [Pre-Chorus] Jack climbed up, but he came down fast Giants don’t play when you grab their stash Everybody talkin’ like it’s all so sweet But these storybooks got some crooked beats [Chorus] Dirty rhymes and candy crimes Fairy tales with twisted lines Happily never after vibes Rockin’ out in nursery rhymes Spin that tale, flip that script Prince got played and lost his grip Once upon a time went wild Welcome to the bad kid file [Verse 2] Goldilocks rolled in like she owned the place Three bears lookin’ like “get out our space” She said “this one’s hot, this one’s cold, that’s fine” Papa Bear said “girl, that’s my recline” Snow White chillin’ with the seven like a crew Dwarfs all argue who she texting on the low Mirror on the wall said “truth hurts, don’t lie” She said “I know I’m fire, don’t even try” [Break – Spoken, Dice-style punch rhythm] Hey… Humpty Dumpty… yeah… big shot on the wall… Took one fall… now everybody’s got a problem? Maybe don’t sit where you ain’t supposed to sit, huh? [Chorus] Dirty rhymes and candy crimes Fairy tales with twisted lines Happily never after vibes Rockin’ out in nursery rhymes Spin that tale, flip that script Wicked queen got attitude drip Storybook don’t play it mild This ain’t for no innocent child [Bridge – Half-sung, half-spoken] Pinocchio lies, nose don’t quit Talkin’ big game but he ain’t legit Rapunzel said “climb if you dare” Dude got stuck halfway up her hair Wicked little grin in every page Fairy tale turned to a rebel stage If you thought this was sugar and spice You walked into a twisted paradise [Outro – High-energy Chuck Berry-style] Duck Duck Goose turned into a chase Ring Around the Rosie, pick up the pace Storybooks burn with a rockin’ sound Once upon a time got turned upside down
