Now this is the story all about how
my life got twisted 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 mays
chillin out, maxin, relaxin all,cool
shooting some b-balls outside of the school
when a couple of guys who were up no good
started makin trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
and said "you're moving 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 "nah forget it, yo home to Bel-Air"

I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
and I yelled to the cabbie "Yo , ho smell you later"
looked at my kingdom I was finally there
to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air
