In West Philadelphia I was born and raised

On the playground is 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 where up to no good

Started makin' trouble in my neighborhood

I got in one little fight and my mom got scared,

And said "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in 

bell air".
