Now this is a story all about how My life got flip-turned upside down Now I'd like to take a minute Just sit right there And I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air In West Philadelphia, born and raised On the playground's where I spent most my days Chillin' out, maxing, relaxing all cool And all shootin' some b-ball outside of the school When a couple of guys, who were up to no good, Started making trouble in my neighborhood I got in one little fight and my mom got scared And said, "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in bel air." I begged and pleaded with her day after day But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way She gave me a kiss, then gave me my ticket Put my Walkman on and said, "Might as well kick it." First class, yo this is bad Drinking orange juice outta a champagne glass? Is this what the people of Bel Air livin' like? Hm... this might be alright. But wait, I hear they're prissy, booze-wine all that Is this the type of place to send this cool cat? I don't know, we'll see when I get there So the best be prepared For the Prince of Bel Air! (Well, um) My plane landed and when I got out A man lookin' like a cop stood with my name out. I ain't tryin to be arrested yet, I just got here! Ran at the speed of lightning - disappeared I whistled for a cab, and when it came near The listener plate said "Fresh" and it had dice in the mirror If anything I could say this cab was rare But said, "Nah, forget it. Yo homes, to Bel Air!" I showed up to the house, about 7 or 8 And yelled to the Cabbie, "Yo homes, smell you later!" Looked at my castle, I was finally there To sit on my throne, as the Prince of Bel Air![spoiler]I wrote that from my mind after memorizing the song [/spoiler]
