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 up to 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, naw, forget it, yo, homes to Bel Air

I pulled up to the house about seven or eight 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
