The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Lyrics

Now this is the 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

In West Philadelfia born and raised
on the playground where I spent most of my days
chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
and all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
when a couple of guys said "we're up in no good"
started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
and said "you're moving with your aunte and uncle in Bel-Air"

(Only the first three episodes of season one)

I begged and pleaded with her the other day
but she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
she gave me a kissin' and she gave me my ticket
I put my walkman on and said I might aswell kick it

First class, yo this is bad,
drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
is this what the people of Bel-Air livin' like,
hmm this might be alright!

I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
licensplate said "Fresh" and had a dice in the mirror
if anything I could say that this cab was rare
but I thought now forget it, yo home to Bel-Air

I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
and I yelled to the cabby "Yo, home smell you later"
looked at my kingdom I was finally there
to settle my throne as the prince of Bel-Air

My Interpretation

But wait, I hear the prissy, booze, whine, 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

Well uh, the plane landed and when I came out There was a dude who 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

Life is like a hurricane, here in duckburg. Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes, its a duck blur. Might solve a mystery or rewrite history. Duck tales, whoo oo. Everyday they're out there making duck tales, whoo oo. Tales of derring do, bad and good luck tales, d-d-d-danger, watch behind you, there's a stranger out to find you. What to do? Grab some duck tales whoo oo. Everyday they're out there making duck tales whoo oo. Tales of derring do, bad and good luck tales, whoo oo. Not pony tails, or cotton tails, no, duck tales whoo oo.
