learn the words to the Fresh Prince theme song

The ‘90s. Represent!

i just recited the entire song, but i have no idea how i know the words to this song!! my parents didn’t let me watch the show when i was a kid. i guess everyone at school was probably singing the song, so i just picked it up.

Now this is a story all about how my life got flipturned upside down, and i wanna take a minute, just sit right there, and i’ll tell you how i became prince of a town called bel-air..boom chi, boomboomchi) in west philidelphia, born and raised, the playground was where i spent most of my days, relaxin’, maxin’, it was pretty cool, and shootin some bball outside of the skool, when a couple of guys they were up to no good, started makin’ trouble in my neighborhood. i got in one little fight, and my mom got scared, and said, “your going to go live w/ ur auntie and uncle in bel-air!boom chi, boomboomchi* i whistled for a cab and when it came near, i saw the lisence plate said fresh, and it had dice in the mirror. one thing for sure i knewthis cab was rare, but i said, aw, man, forget it. Yo homes, to bel-air!boom chi, boomboomchi i pulled up to the house about 7 or 8, and i yelled to the cabbie, yo homes, smell ya later! i looked at my kingdom, i was finally there! fillin my throne as the prince of bel-air.

It’s one of the best theme songs ever.

I’m not proud of it :S

Is it really worth it? Probably not. But still, to this day, I can recite all of the words to the theme song. Sadly.

Fresh Prince of Belair will always be a classic!

It’s always good to know the words when and episode comes on. LOL

“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”
