Lyrics

[00:09.15] Now this is a story all about how
[00:11.48] My life got flipped turned upside down
[00:13.72] And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
[00:16.08] I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air
[00:18.51]
[00:37.34] In West Philadelphia born and raised
[00:39.76] On the playground is where I spent most of my days
[00:42.39] Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool and all shootin' some b-ball outside of the school
[00:47.05] When a couple of guys who were up to no good
[00:49.40] Started makin' trouble in my neighborhood
[00:51.68] I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
[00:54.11] And said you're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air
[00:56.56]
[00:56.94] I begged and pleaded with her day after day
[00:58.87] But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
[01:01.32] She give me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket
[01:03.51] I put my walkman on and said I might as well kick it
[01:06.55] First class yo this is bad
[01:08.31] Drinkin' orange juice out of a champagne glass
[01:10.72] Is this what the people of Bel-Air live like
[01:13.31] Hmmm this might be all right
[01:15.19]
[01:15.70] But wait I hear they're prissy, bourgeois and all that
[01:17.88] Is this the type of place that they should send this cool cat
[01:20.31] I don't think so I'll see when I get there
[01:22.60] I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air
[01:25.11]
[01:43.71] Well uh the plane landed and when I came out
[01:46.37] There was a dude looked like a cop standin' there with my name out
[01:48.93] I ain't tryin' to get arrested yet I just got here
[01:51.26] I sprang with the quickness like lightening disappeared
[01:53.24]
[01:53.63] I whistled for a cab and when it came near
[01:55.85] The license plate said "Fresh", and it had dice in the mirror
[01:58.34] If anything I could say that this cab was rare
[02:00.64] But I thought man forget it yo home to Bel-Air
[02:02.90]
[02:11.75] I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
[02:14.84] And I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo Holmes, smell ya later!"
[02:17.33] Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
[02:19.67] To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel-Air
[02:21.92]
