Lyrics
Now, this is a 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 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
Started making trouble in my
neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my
mom got scared
She said, "You're movin' 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"
First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a
champagne glass
Is this what the people of Bel-
Air living like?
Hmm, this might be alright
I whistled for a cab and when it
came near
1.17 10 – Will gets into the car The license plate said, "Fresh"
- and drives off saying ‘nah, and it had dice in the mirror
1.31 forget it, yo, holmes to Bel-
Air
If anything, I could say that
this cab was rare
But I thought "Nah, forget it,
yo, holmes to Bel Air"

- 11 - The taxi pulls up I pulled up to the house about
1.36 outside the house and gets seven or eight
out of the taxi

Will yells to the taximan And I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo

‘yo, holmes, smell ya later’ holmes, smell ya later"

1.36 12 - Will looks up at the I looked at my kingdom

- house I was finally there
1.45 To sit on my throne as the prince
He walks into the house of Bel-Air

Hazards
Careful on the playground so no one gets hurt
The champagne glass doesn’t get broken or
smashed
the car is well driven with a licensed driver
Solutions
Make sure someone is there in case they call
and the person who is on the playground
knows how to climb on the set and knows what
to do.
Be very careful when holding the glass
A licensed driver is driving the car and is safe
when driving the vehicle
