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 become the prince of a town called Bel Air

 in west Philadelphia 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 were up to no good
 started makin' trouble in my neighborhood
 I got in one little fight and my mon scared
 and said you're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air
 I begged and pleaded with her day after day
 but she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
 she give me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket
 put my walkman on and said I might as well kick it
 first class yo this is bad
 drinkin' orange juice out of a champagne glass
 is this what the people of Bel-Air live like
 hmmm this might be all right
 but wait I hear they're prissy ???? and all that
 is this the type of place that they should send this cool cat
 I don't think so I'll see when I get there
 I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

 well uh the plane landed and when I came out
 there was a dude looked like a cop standin' there with my name out
 I ain't tryin' to get arrested yet I just got here
 I sprang with the quickness like lightening disapeared
 I whistled for a cab and when it came near
 the licensce plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
 if anything I could say that this cab was rare
 but I thought man forget it yo homes to Bel-Air

 I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
 and I yelled to the cabbie yo homes smell ya later
 looked at my kingdom I was finally there
 to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air
