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 become 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 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 mon scared
And said you're movin' 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 give me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket
Put my walkman on and said i might as well kick it
First class yo this is bad
Drinkin' orange juice out of a champagne glass
Is this what the people of bel-air live like
Hmmm this might be all right
But wait i hear they're prissy ???? 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 standin' there with my name out
I ain't tryin' to get arrested yet i just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightening disapeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The licensce plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything i could say that this cab was rare
But i thought man forget it yo homes to bel-air

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And i yelled to the cabbie yo homes smell ya later
Looked at my kingdom i was finally there
To sit on my throne as the prince of bel-air
