The Zoos Shave All the Animals

Now this is a story, all about how my life got flipped, turned upside-down,
And I'd like to take a minute,
So 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 is where Ii 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 makin' 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!'

I begged and pleeded with 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 'Might as well kick it!'

First class Yo this is bad
Drinkin orange juice out of a champaine glass
Is this what the people in Bel-Air livin like?
Hmm...this might be alright
But wait I hear the prissy,
Bushwa and all that
Is this the kind of place that they just 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 I, The plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude, looked like a cop, standin there with my name out
I ain't tryin to get arrested yet I just got here
I sprang with the quickness and like lightening dissappeared

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said 'Fresh' And had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought 'Nah, forget it - Yo, home to Bel-Air!'

I pulled up to a house about seven or eight,
I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo home, smell ya later!'
I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there!
To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air!


Or was that the Fresh Prince's?
