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, said, "You movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air." I whistled for a cab and when it came near, I can go all day. I can go all day.

Young Hollywood

Wait, why did you stop? You were so close to being done.

Brandon Larequente

I whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate was fresh and it dice in the mirror. If anything I could say this cab is rare, but I thought, "Man, forget it. Yo, ho to Bel-Air." I for up to a house about seven or eight, and I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo, homey, smell ya later." Look at my kingdom. I was finally there, sitting on my throne that's the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
