Now this is the 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 where I spent most of my days
chilling out maxing relaxing all cool
and all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
when a couple of guys said "We're up in no good"
started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
and said "You're moving with your auntee and uncle in Bel Air"
I begged and pleaded with her the other day
but she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
she gave me a kissing and she gave me my ticket
I put my walkman on and said "I might as well kick it"
first class yo this is bad
drinking orange-juice out of a champagne glass
is this what the people of Bel Air living like
hmm this might be alright
But wait I hear they're prissy boozy and all that
is this the type of place
that they should 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 uh the plane landed and when I came out
there was a dude looked like a cop
standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested yet I just got here
I spring with the quickness
like lightening disappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
the licenseplate said "Fresh"
and had a dice in the mirror
if anything I could say that this cab was rare
but I thought now forget it yo home to Bel Air
I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
and I yelled to the cabby "Yo home smell you later"
looked at my kingdom I was finally there
to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel Air
