In west Philadelphia, where I was born and raised, on the play ground where I spent most of my days. Chillin', relaxing and playing some b-ball right after school, when a couple guys who were up to no good - started making trouble in the neighborhood. I got into one little fight and my ma got scared. She said, "you're moving to your auntie and uncles in Bel Air". I whistled for a cab and when it came near...? I pulled up a house to a house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cab driver, "yo-ho smell ya later" I looked at the kingdom and I was finally there and that's when I became the prince of Bel Air. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/now-this-is-the-story-all-about-how-my-life-got-flipped-turned-upside-down#post-526440 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 23:43:53 +0000 pinkcupcake 526440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got in one little fight and my mom got scared, and said you're moving with your aunty and uncle in bel-air!</p> <p>I looove fresh prince!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/now-this-is-the-story-all-about-how-my-life-got-flipped-turned-upside-down#post-526436 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 23:43:06 +0000 regberadaisy 526436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm amazed what he's made of himself from the fresh prince!
