Fresh Prince of Bel Air Lyrics

Now this is the story all about how
Let me tell you the tale of my life

My life got flipped, turned upside down
My life was completely transformed

And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
Allow me just a moment to explain

I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air
Here's how I became royalty in Bel-Air

In West Philadelphia born and raised
I was brought up in West Philadelphia

On the playground where I spent most of my days
I used to spend my days playing on the playground

Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
I lived a carefree and relaxed lifestyle

And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
I used to play basketball outside of the school

When a couple of guys, they were up to no good
Some troublemaking guys started causing problems

Started making trouble in my neighborhood
They were causing trouble in my area

I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
I was involved in a minor altercation that worried my mother

She said 'you're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air'
My mother decided to send me to live with my relatives in Bel-Air

I begged and pleaded with her the other day
I tried to convince her to let me stay

But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
Despite my pleas, she packed my bags and sent me off

She gave me a kissin' and she gave me my ticket
Before I left, my mother kissed me and gave me my ticket

I put my walkman on and said I might as well kick it
I decided to make the best of the situation and relax

First class, yo this isn't bad, Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
I was impressed by the luxurious first-class experience

Is this what the people of Bel-Air livin' like, Hmm this might be alright!
I was intrigued by the lavish lifestyle of Bel-Air residents

I whistled for a cab and when it came near the License plate said 'Fresh' and had a dice in the mirror
I hailed a cab with a unique 'Fresh' license plate and dice hanging from the mirror

If anything I could say that this cab was rare But I thought nah forget it, yo home to Bel-Air
I considered the cab to be unique, but decided to forget about it and head to Bel-Air

I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
The cab took me to a large house

And I yelled to the cabby 'Yo, homie smell you later'
I told the cab driver I would see him later

Looked at my kingdom I was finally there To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.
I finally arrived at my new home and felt like royalty
