This is a story all about how

My life got twist-turned upside down

And I'd like to take a minute and sit right there

And 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 makin' trouble in my neighborhood

I got in one lil' fight and my mom got scared

She 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 can say, this cab is rare

But I thought, naw, forget it, "yo homes, to Bel-Air"

I pulled up to the house about seven or eight

And I yelled to the cab "yo homes, smell ya later"

I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there

To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air
