[00:09.59] Now, this is a story all about how
[00:11.98] My life got flipped-turned upside down
[00:14.26] And I'd like to take a minute
[00:15.58] Just sit right there
[00:16.66] I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air
[00:20.12]
[00:37.53] In West Philadelphia born and raised
[00:40.31] On the playground was where I spent most of my days
[00:42.75] Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin', all cool
[00:45.24] And all shootin' some b-ball outside of the school
[00:47.69] When a couple of guys who were up to no good
[00:50.16] Started making trouble in my neighborhood
[00:52.19] I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
[00:54.52] She said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air"
[00:57.09] I begged and pleaded with her day after day
[00:59.23] But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
[01:01.78] She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket
[01:04.16] I put my Walkman on and said, "I might as well kick it"
[01:06.84] First class, yo this is bad
[01:08.97] Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
[01:11.27] Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like?
[01:13.86] Hmm, this might be alright
[01:15.97] But wait, I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, all that
[01:18.56] Is this the type of place that they just send this cool cat?
[01:21.15] I don't think so
[01:22.26] I'll see when I get there
[01:23.23] I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air
[01:26.95]
[01:43.90] Well, the plane landed and when I came out
[01:46.74] There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
[01:49.45] I ain't trying to get arrested yet, I just got here
[01:51.75] I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared
[01:53.98] I whistled for a cab and when it came near
[01:56.23] The license plate said, "Fresh" and it had dice in the mirror
[01:58.82] If anything I could say that this cab was rare
[02:01.14] But I thought "Nah, forget it, yo, holmes to Bel Air"
[02:05.11]
[02:11.90] I pulled up to the house about seven or eight
[02:15.28] And I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo holmes, smell ya later"
[02:17.87] I looked at my kingdom
[02:18.92] I was finally there
[02:20.03] To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air
[02:21.73]
