The Fresh Prince of Bel Air (From "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air")
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 became the prince of a
town called Bel Air
In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was 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 making 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 pleased with her day after
day
But she packed my suit case and sent me
on my wayShe gace me a kiss and then she gave me 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 champagne
glass.
Is this what people of Bel-Air living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.
But wait I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, all that
Is this the type of place that they just send
this cool cat?
I don't think so
I'll see when I get there so
I hope they're prepared for the prince of
Bel-Air
Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who 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 quickness like lighting,
disappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice
in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was
rare
But I thought 'Nah, forget ti'-'yo, home to
Bel Air'
I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo smell
ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bell Air
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 became the prince of a
town called Bel Air
