Yo listen up let me break it down
Fairy tales ain't what they seem in this town
Cinderella, Prince charming, it's a fantasy
But the real story's hidden let me set you free
When was anyone gonna tell me the deal
Cinderella and her Prince it ain't real
Happily ever after? Nah that's a lie
Behind the glass slipper there's a tear in her eye
Little red Riding Hood she took a wrong turn
Married the wolf but did she ever learn
Goldilocks and Aladdin, thieves in the night
Stealing from the rich but they're not in the light
Beauty and the beast she was held captive
But what about the beast his hearts reactive
Ariel's fate man it's a tragic end
Drowning in the waves where's the happy blend
Fairy tale truths hidden in the dark
Characters we love but they're missing the spark
What's the real story let me show you the way
These tales we were told they got more to say
Snow White was too young, caught in a spell
While the Evil Queen just wanted to tell
Searching for acceptance she's lost in the game
But we painted her evil put her to shame
The step sisters wanted love, just like the rest
Maleficent's heart man it's put to the test
Gaston's insecurities he's flexing for show
But deep down inside he's just feeling low
Ursula wanted love Jafar's just trying to thrive
In a world full of struggles, just trying to survive
These characters flawed just like you and me
Searching for their place trying to break free
Fairy tale truths hidden in the dark
Characters we love but they're missing the spark
What's the real story let me show you the way
These tales we were told they got more to say
So next time you hear once upon a time
Remember the truth it's a different rhythm
Fairy tales are lessons wrapped in disguise
Look deeper my friend see the truth in their eyes
