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
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 MOM GOT SCARED
AND SAID YOU MOVE IN
WITH YOUR AUNTIE
AND UNCLE IN BEL-AIR
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
NAW FORGET IT
YO HOMES TO BEL-AIR
I PULLED UP
TO THE HOUSE ABOUT
SEVEN OR EIGHT
AND I YELLED
TO THE CABBY
YO HOMES
SMELL YA LATER
LOOKED AT MY KINGDOM
I WAS FINALLY THERE
TO SIT ON MY THRONE AS
THE PRINCE OF BEL-AIR
