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 pleaded with her day after day |
|
But she packed my suit case and sent me on my way |
|
She gave 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 a champagne glass. |
|
Is this what the 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 |
|
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 the quickness like lightning, 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 it' - 'Yo, holmes to Bel Air' |
|
I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 |
|
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo holmes smell ya later' |
|
I looked at my kingdom |
|
I was finally there |
|
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air |
