Now this is the 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 is where I spend 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 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 Bel Air" 

I whisteled 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, "NAW FORGET IT YO HOME TO BEL AIR!" 



I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 

and I yelled to the cab, "YO HOME SMELL YA LATA!" 

I looked at my kingdom I was finally there 

to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel Air
