[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]
