I think that this song is supposed to be somewhat in some parts ironic. It seems that his actions tend to be a bit stupid in the second anecdote...to be blunt, he exercises terrible judgement. However, his parents seem to be a bit out of touch, judging by the first anecdote, and the line "They took turns--One would beat me while the other one was driving" (I'm pretty sure that physical punishment wasn't as acceptable in the 80s as it was when his parents were kids).
Point is, while parents don't really understand the world their kids live in too much, they generally mean well.
Weeelll...
OK, here's the situation--the parents left him the car keys when they went on vacation!
Already one can see where this scenerio would go, whether in a rather memorable bit of hip-hop humor back in the day when basically rap was going gansta-style or as nasty as 2 Live Crew (por exemplo) could get away with, or...as the ol' saying goes, "Doesn't art imitate life--or does life itself inspire art?" Never could remember which way it went anyway, although I do believe in the notion that "Truth is often stranger than fiction".
Let's face it, the song is just damn funny as...

Let's face it, the song is just damn funny as hell and once Will Smith became himself and not just a Fresh Prince, turned out to be a damn fine actor and all-around excellent person later on, even in his own private life married to Jada Pinkett-Smith, who is one fine actor, attractive and witty as hell, and even fronts a metal band (Wicked Wisdom) that one yr. played at Ozzfest.
Peace, we outta here--the Pharmageek and Missy, the jazz lovin' black cat
