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
I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air
NATIONAL SOCIETY OF BLACK ENGINEERSNATIONAL SOCIETY OF BLACK ENGINEERSwww.nsbe.orgwww.nsbe.org
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 school
NATIONAL SOCIETY OF BLACK ENGINEERSNATIONAL SOCIETY OF BLACK ENGINEERSwww.nsbe.orgwww.nsbe.org
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'
NATIONAL SOCIETY OF BLACK ENGINEERSNATIONAL SOCIETY OF BLACK ENGINEERSwww.nsbe.orgwww.nsbe.org
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 is that this cab was rare
But I thought 'Man forget it' - 'Yo home to Bel Air'
NATIONAL SOCIETY OF BLACK ENGINEERSNATIONAL SOCIETY OF BLACK ENGINEERSwww.nsbe.orgwww.nsbe.org
I pulled up to the house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked to my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air
