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
Sada je ovo priča o tome kako
Moj se život okrenuo okrenuo naopako
I volio bih uzeti minutu, samo sjesti
Reći ću vam kako sam postao knez grada koji se zove Bel-Air
[Stih 2]
U West Philadelphiji rođen i podignut
Na igralištu je mjesto gdje sam proveo većinu dana
Chillin ', maxin', opustite se sve cool
I svi srušiti neke b-lopte izvan škole
Kada su par momaka koji nisu bili dobri
Počeo je makin 'nevolje u mom susjedstvu
Ušao sam u jednu malu borbu i mama se uplašila
I rekao: "Movi se s tetkom i ujakom u Bel-zraku"
Molio sam i izjasnio se s njezinim danom
Ali pakirala je kovčeg i poslala me na moj način
Dala mi je poljubac, a onda mi je dala svoju kartu
Stavio sam svoj Walkman i rekao: "Mogao bih ga i",
Prva klasa, yo, ovo je loše
Pijenje soka od naranče iz stakla šampanjca
Je li to ono što ljudi u zraku žive?
Hmm, to bi moglo biti u redu
Ali čekaj, čujem da su prisy, buržoaski i sve to
Je li to vrsta mjesta da bi trebali poslati ovu kulsku?
Mislim da ne, vidjet ću kad stignem tamo
Nadam se da su spremni za princa bel-zraka
[Stih 3]
Dobro, uh
Avion sletio i kad sam izašao
Bio je tip, izgledao kao policajac, stojeći s mojim imenom
Ne pokušavam se uhititi, upravo sam došao ovdje
Spremgio sam s brzinom poput munje, nestala
Zviždala sam za taksi i kad se približio
Podsjednička tablica je rekla 'svježe' i imala je kockice u ogledalu
Ako nešto mogu reći da je ova taksi bila rijetka
Ali mislio sam da "Nah, zaboravi, yo, Holmes, u Bel-Air!"
[Stih 4]
Povukao sam
Do kuće oko sedam ili osam
I viknuo sam u Cabbie "Yo", Holmes, miris ya kasnije "
Pogledao sam svoje kraljevstvo, konačno sam bio tamo
Sjediti na moje prijestolje kao princ bel-zraka
