Fresh Prince Of Bel-air Lyrics - Singles - Theme Song

Now this is the 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 the playground 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 in no good 

Started making trouble in my neighbourhood 

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 begged and pleaded with her day after day 

But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way 

She gave me a kiss and she gave me my ticket 

I put my walkman on and said I might as well kick it 

First class, yo this is bad, 

Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass 

Is this what the people of Bel-Air livin' like? 

Hmm this might be alright! 

But wait I hear the prissy, 

Whos line all that... 

Is this the type of place that they'd just send this cool cat? 

I don't think so, I'll see when I get there 

I hope they're prepared for the Prince of Bel-Air. 

Well, the plane landed and when I came out 

There was a dude looked like a cop standing there with my name out. 

I ain't tryin to get arrested yet, I just got here! 

I springed with the quickness like lightning disappeared. 

I whistled for a cab and when it came near the 

License plate said "Fresh" and had a dice in the mirror 

If anything I could say that this cab was rare 

But I thought now forget it, yo home to Bel-Air 

I pulled up to a house about seven or eight 

And I yelled to the cabby "Yo, home smell you later" 

Looked at my kingdom I was finally there 

To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air
