Now this is the story all about how,

My life got flipped, turned upside down,

And Id like to take a minute, just sit right there,

Ill tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air.

In West Philadelphia I was born and raised

 On the playground is where I spent most of my days.

Chillin out, maxin, relaxin all cool,

And all shootin s ome 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 Youre movin 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 cat was rare,

 But I thought Nah forget it, "Yo home 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.
