Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped - turned upside down
And id like to take a minute
just sit right there
Ill tell you howI became the prince of a town called Bel-Air

In West Philadelphia
born an raised
on the playground is where i spent mosta my days
Chillin out maxin relaxin all cool
An all shootin some B-ball outside of the school
When a couple o guys who were up to no good
Started makin trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said Youre movin with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air!

I begged and pleaded with her day after daybut
she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket
I put my walkman on and saig I´d might as well kickin
First class Yo this is bad drinkin orange juice out of a champange glass
Is this what the people of Bel Air live like?
Hmm.. this might be allright!
The way I´d hear the percy boots white and all
I had to sit as I have a place of they just in this school cat
I don´t think so I see what i get there
I hope they´re prepared for the Prince of Bel Air!

Well I tha plain land and when I came out
there was a dude look like a cop standin there with my name out
I ain´t trying to get arrested yet I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like light has disappeared

I whistled for a cab and when i came near
The license plate said Fresh
And had dice in the mirror
If anything i could say that this cab was rare
But I thought Nah forget it - Yo home to Bel-Air!

I pulled up to the house at bout seven or eight
I yelled to the cabbie Yo home smell ya later!
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there!
To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air!
