    Now this is a story all about how
    My life got flipped-turned upside down
    And I liked to take a minute just sit right there
    And 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, relaxing all cool,
    And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
    When a couple of guys who were up to no good
    Started making trouble in my neighborhood
    I got in one lil 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 then she gave me my ticket
    I put my walkman on and said I might as well kick it
    [verse 3]
    First class yo this is bad
    Drinking orange juice out of a champaine glass
    Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like?
    { From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/w/will-smith-lyrics/fresh-prince-of-bel,,Air-(Theme-song)-lyrics.html }
    Hmm this might be allright
    But wait I hear prissy, bourgeois and all that
    Is this the type of place 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 4]
    Well ah the plain landed and when I came out
    There was a dude that looked like a cop standing there with my name
    out
    I aint trying to get arrested yet I just got here
    I sprang with the quickness like lightning dissapeared
    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 was rare
    But I thought naw forget it yo homes to Bel-Air

    [verse 5]
    I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
    And I yelled to the cabby "Yo homes smell ya later"
    I looked at my kingdom I was finally there
    To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air
