Now this is a story, all about how
my life got flipped, turned upside-down,
And I`d like to take a minute,
So just sit right there,
I`ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air
In West Philadelphia, born and raised,
On the playground is where Ii spent most ofmy days
Chillin out, maxin`, relaxin` all cool,
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys, who were up to no good,
Started makin` trouble in my neighborhood,
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said `You`re movin with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air!`
I begged and pleeded with day after day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me and my
She gave me a kiss
And then she gave me my ticket
I put my Walkman on and said `Might as well kick it!`
First class
Yo this is bad
Drinkin orange juice out of a champaine glass
Is this what the people in Bel-Air livin like?
Hmm...this might be alright
But wait I hear the prissy,
Bushwa and all that
Is this the kind of place that they just send this cool cat?
i don`t think so
I`ll see when I get there
I hope they`re prepared
for the Prince of Bel-Air!
Well I,
The plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude,looked like a cop,
standin there with my name out
I ain`t tryin to get arrested yet
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness
and like lightening dissappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said `Fresh`
And had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought `Nah, forget it - Yo, home to Bel-Air!`
I pulled up to a house about seven or eight,
I yelled to the cabbie `Yo home, smell ya later!`
I looked at my kingdom,
I was finally there!
To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air!
