Now this the story, all about how
My life got flipped turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sitting right there
I'll tell you how I became the Prince of a town called Bel Air
In west philadelphia born n' raised
On the playground is where I spend most of my days
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' and all cool
And all shootin some b-balls outside of the school
When a couple a guys they 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 pleaded with her, day after day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave 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
If this what the people of bel-air are living like?
Hmmm... This might be alright!
But wait I hear they're prissy, booze wine and all that 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 I
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 sprang with the quickness like lightinin', disappeared
I whistled for a cab, and when it came near
The license plate said fresh
And had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought: Nah, forget it, yo homes, to Bel Air!
I, pulled, up to the house about 7 or 8
And yelled to 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
