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

And 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 and all that

Is this the type of place 

that they should 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, uh, the plane landed and when I came out

There was a dude looked 

like a cop standing there with my name out

I ain't tryna 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"

         MIbm
I pulled up to a house about seven or eight

And I yelled to the cabbie, 

"Yo, holmes, smell ya later"

Looked at my kingdom, I was finally there

To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel-Air...
