Come you ladies and gentlemen and listen to my song
I'll sing it to you right but you might think it's wrong
Just a little glimpse of a story I'll tell
About a west coast city that you all know well
And it's hard times
In the city
Living out in Bel Air town
Well 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
And it's hard times
In the city
Being prince of Bel Air town
In West Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chilling out max and relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
And it's hard times
In the city
Living out in Philly town
Then a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in a fight and my ma got scared
She said "you're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air"
And it's hard times
In the suburbs
Living out in Bel Air town
