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
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
[Verse 2]
In West Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground is where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool
And all shootin' some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started makin' trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said "You're movin' 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 then 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 living like?
Hmm, this might be all right
But wait, I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, and all that
Is this the type of place that they should 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
[Verse 3]
Well, uh
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 trying to get arrested yet, I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said 'Fresh' and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought "Nah, forget it, yo, Holmes, to Bel-Air!"
[Verse 4]
I pulled
Up to a house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabbie "Yo', Holmes, smell ya later"
I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel-Air
Sekarang ini adalah cerita tentang bagaimana
Kehidupan saya mendapat terbalik terbalik
Dan saya ingin mengambil masa seminit, hanya duduk di sana
Saya akan memberitahu anda bagaimana saya menjadi putera sebuah bandar yang dipanggil Bel-Air
[Ayat 2]
Di West Philadelphia dilahirkan dan dibesarkan
Di taman permainan adalah di mana saya menghabiskan sebahagian besar hari saya
Chillin 'out, maxin', relaxin 'semua sejuk
Dan semua shootin 'beberapa bola B-di luar sekolah
Apabila beberapa lelaki yang tidak baik
Memulakan masalah makin di kawasan kejiranan saya
Saya mendapat satu pertarungan kecil dan ibu saya takut
Dan berkata "Anda Movin 'dengan Auntie dan Paman Anda di Bel-Air"
Saya memohon dan mengaku dengan hari selepas hari itu
Tetapi dia membungkus beg saya dan menghantar saya dalam perjalanan saya
Dia memberi saya ciuman dan kemudian dia memberi saya tiket saya
Saya meletakkan walkman saya dan berkata "Saya mungkin juga menendangnya"
Kelas pertama, yo, ini buruk
Minum jus oren daripada kaca champagne
Adakah ini orang-orang yang tinggal di Bel-Air?
Hmm, ini mungkin baik-baik saja
Tetapi tunggu, saya mendengar mereka prissy, borjuasi, dan semua itu
Adakah ini jenis tempat yang mereka harus menghantar kucing sejuk ini?
Saya tidak fikir begitu, saya akan melihat apabila saya sampai di sana
Saya harap mereka bersedia untuk Putera Bel-Air
[Verse 3]
Baik, uh.
Pesawat itu mendarat dan ketika saya keluar
Ada seorang dude, kelihatan seperti polis, berdiri di sana dengan nama saya keluar
Saya tidak cuba ditangkap lagi, saya baru sahaja tiba di sini
Saya berlipat dengan cepat seperti kilat, hilang
Saya bersiul untuk teksi dan ketika ia mendekati
Plat lesen berkata 'segar' dan ia mempunyai dadu di cermin
Jika apa-apa yang saya boleh katakan bahawa teksi ini jarang berlaku
Tetapi saya fikir "Nah, melupakannya, Yo, Holmes, ke Bel-Air!"
[Ayat 4]
Saya menarik
Sehingga rumah kira-kira tujuh atau lapan
Dan saya berteriak kepada Cabbie "Yo ', Holmes, bau ya kemudian"
Saya melihat kerajaan saya, saya akhirnya ada di sana
Untuk duduk di atas takhta saya sebagai putera Bel-udara
