OF COURSE!

And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there, I'll tell ya how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air ...

Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool and all shooting some b-ball outside of the school...

I still love Will Smith

Can definitely still sing every word!

I'm amazed what he's made of himself from the fresh prince! Into one hot sexy man!

Haha this is off but here it goes:
I'll take a minute and tell you how I became the prince of Bel Air. 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.

Love that show!

@mrbee: I was wondering if you were going to post the original or the shortened version. I remember the first time I heard the original I thought, "wait, where did all these other lines come from?"

@mrbee: It's the original!

The original has extra verses. I think I saw it on one episode--maybe the pilot? Here are the 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 become the prince of a town called Bel-Air

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground is 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 makin' trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And 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 give me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket
Put my walkman on and said I might as well kick it

First class yo this is bad
Drinkin' orange juice out of a champagne glass
Is this what the people of Bel-Air live like
Hmmm this might be all right
But wait I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, and all that
Is this the type 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 uh 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 like lightening disapeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The licensce plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought "Nah forget it, yo homes to Bel-Air!"

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie yo homes smell ya later
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air

@mrbee: You know all the words to that?!?!

The version I'm used to goes from "you're movin with your auntie and uncle to bel air" and skips to "I whistled for a cab and when it came near..."

Yep! I know all the words
