Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cinderelly, bad bitches wanna go
Glass slippers at the door
Back bending on all fours

Cinderelly, glass ceiling to the floor
Slow motion down the pole
She ain't really have no soul, Cinderelly

I'ma call it how I see it
If I want it I don't really need that
If I need it I'ma go seek it
Put my ass out and I freak it
Like, Pop tart
We don't need your fucking art
We don't need a prince, everybody rich
We don't need a prince, everybody rich

Watch that ass clap baby
With that ass fat baby
Watch that ass clap baby
With that ass fat baby

Cinderelly, bad bitches wanna go
Glass slippers at the door
Back bending on all fours

Cinderelly, glass ceiling to the floor
Slow motion down the pole
She ain't really have no soul, Cinderelly

Cinderelly, wanna tell me I'm the baddest bitch
But he don't know I like sandwiches
Money makes the world go 'round
But paper makes the pussy drown
Happy ending for the bitch in the mirror
My best friend still the bitch in the mirror
I love her and she love me too
I call her Little Pikachu

Cinderelly, bad bitches wanna go
Glass slippers at the door
Back bending on all fours

Cinderelly, glass ceiling to the floor
Slow motion down the pole
She ain't really have no soul

Watch that ass clap baby
With that ass fat baby
Watch that ass clap baby
With that ass fat baby

Cinderelly, bad bitches wanna go
Glass slippers at the door
Back bending on all fours

Cinderelly, glass ceiling to the floor
Slow motion down the pole
She ain't really have no soul, Cinderelly

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tommy Genesis’s song “Cinderelly” speak to female empowerment and sexual liberation. The title of the song is a play on the name Cinderella, a famous fairytale about a young woman who dreams of a prince to rescue her from a life of servitude. However, in the song, the character of Cinderelly is a strong and confident woman who does not need a prince or anyone else to validate her worth. Instead, she uses her sexuality as a tool of empowerment, bending over on all fours and dancing seductively down the pole, taking control of her own body and desires.

The repeated reference to "glass slippers" and "glass ceiling" draws attention to the societal limitations placed on women, who are often expected to fit into predetermined roles and conform to patriarchal standards of behavior. However, Cinderelly shatters these expectations, rejecting traditional notions of femininity and taking charge of her own life. The lyrics also highlight the hypocrisy and double standards of some men, who may sexually objectify women while also expecting them to be pure and chaste.

In general, Genesis challenges societal norms and norms that tell us what women should do, how they should behave, and what they should look like. Through her lyrics in Cinderelly, she creates an image of a woman who is taking control of her own life and rebelling against traditional standards of femininity.
