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] |
