  • The Lyrics:

    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 suitcase 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? Hmm, 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 I, 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 seven or eight, 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.
