Now this is a story all about how
My life got flipped turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
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
I spent most of my days
Chillin' out, ma in', rela in' 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
And said "You're movin' with your
auntie and uncle in Bel Air"
I whistled for a cab
and when it came near
The license plate said 'Fresh'
and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say
that this cab was rare
But I thought "Nah, forget
it, yo holmes, to Bel Air!"
I pulled up to the house
about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabbie
"Yo holmes, smell ya later"
Looked at my kingdom,
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as
the Prince of Bel Air
Thank you for joining!
