now this is a story all about how my life got flipped upside down and i'd like to take a minute just sit right there and i'll tell how i became a prince of a town called bel air

in west philadelphia born and raised

on a playground where i spend most of my days

chillin' out max and relaxin' on coolin' on shooting some b-ball upside on the school when a couple of guys they were up to no good, started makin' trouble in my neighbahood

i got in one little fight and my mom got scared

and said "you movin' with your auntie and uncle in bel air"

i whistle for a cab and when it came near the license plate was in french and a dice in the mirror, if anything i could say that this cab was rare but i though man forget it, yo home to bel air!

i pull up to a house about seven or eight and i yell to the cabbie yo home, smell ya later! looked at my kingdom i was finally there, to settle my throne as the prince of bel air.

I can recite that with out looking at anything.. It scares most of the people I know... Heh.
