Fresh
Pendulum & DJ Fresh Lyrics

Now this is a story all about how
Let me tell you a tale about how things changed for me

My life got flipped, turned upside down
My life took a major turn and left me feeling disoriented

And I'd like to take a minute
Hang on, let me catch my breath

Just sit right there
Stay here, and let me tell you what happened

I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air
This is how I came to rule a luxurious town called Bel-Air

In West Philadelphia born and raised
I grew up in West Philadelphia

On the playground was where I spent most of my days
I used to hang out on the playground a lot

Chillin' out, maxin,' relaxin' all cool
I was relaxing and enjoying life

And all shootin' some b-ball outside of the school
I played basketball outside of school with my friends

When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Some bad guys tried to cause trouble

Started making trouble in my neighborhood
They created problems in my community

I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
I got into a tiny quarrel that frightened my mother

And said, 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air'
She decided to move us to Bel-Air to stay with family

I begged and pleaded with her day after day
I begged and pleaded with her repeatedly

But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
Regardless, she packed my things and sent me to Bel-Air

She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket
Before I left, she gave me a kiss on the cheek and my ticket

I put my Walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'
I put on my Walkman and accepted my fate

First class, yo this is bad
I'm flying first class, this is amazing

Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
I'm drinking orange juice from a fancy glass for champagne

Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like?
I wonder if all of Bel-Air live like this

Hmm, this might be alright
Actually, this is pretty cool

But wait I hear they're prissy, bourgeois and all that
Although, I've heard that they're pretentious and stuck up

Is this the type of place that they should send this cool cat?
I'm not sure if this is the right place for me

I don't think so, I'll see when I get there
I'm not sure yet, I'll find out when I arrive

I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air
I hope they're ready for me, the new ruler of Bel-Air

Well, uh, the plane landed and when I came out
Once we landed, I stepped off the plane

There was a dude looked like a cop standing there with my name out
Someone who looked like a police officer was waiting for me with my name on a sign

I ain't tryna get arrested yet, I just got here
I don't want to get in trouble yet, I just arrived

I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared
I ran away quickly, like lightning

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
I whistled for a taxi, which pulled up soon after

The license plate said 'fresh' and it had dice in the mirror
The license plate said 'fresh' and it had dice hanging from the mirror

If anything I could say that this cab was rare
I'd say that this taxi is unique in a good way

But I thought, 'Nah, forget it, yo, holmes, to Bel-Air'
But, ultimately, I decided to take the taxi to Bel-Air

I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
We arrived at a big house

And I yelled to the cabbie, 'Yo, holmes, smell ya later'
I shouted to the taxi driver, 'see you later, my friend'

Looked at my kingdom, I was finally there
I gazed out over Bel-Air and realized I had finally arrived

To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel-Air
I'm ready to rule as the one and only Prince of Bel-Air
