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 a playground is where i spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys they were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And 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 had dice in the mirror
if anything i could say that this cab was rare
but i thought nah, forget it
yo home to bel-air
i-pulled- up to a house about seven or eight
i yelled to the cabbie yo home, smell you later
looked at my kingdom i was finally there
to sit on my throne as the prince, the prince of bel-air
