This is a story all about how 
My life got twist-turned upside down 
And I liked to take a minute and sit right there 
And tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air 
 
In west Philadelphia born and raised 
On the playground was 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 upto no good 
Startin' makin' trouble in my neighborhood 
I got in one lil' fight and my mom got scared 
She said you're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air 
 
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 can say this cab is rare 
But I thought now forget it yo homes to Bel Air 
 
I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 
And I yelled to the cabyo homes, smell ya later 
I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there 
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air
