fresh prince is a sitcom that is actually named “the fresh prince of bel-air” it was popular furing the early and mid 90s but has recently been making a come back. it is known by many people just for its theme song even if you hate the show (how could u hate it???) you still have to love the theme song. the most common lyrics for it are:
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 whistled for a cab and when it came near
the license plate said “fresh”, and it had dice in the mirror
if anything i could say that this cab was rare
but i thought man 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

but on the first three episodes they used these lyrics:
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 cl-ss yo this is bad
drinkin’ orange juice out of a champagne gl-ss
is this what the people of bel-air live like
hmmm this might be all right

other lyrics were never used for the show but did show up later on an alb-m version they were:

but wait i hear they’re prissy and all that
is this the type of place that they should 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 disappeared

i whistled for a cab and when it came near
the license plate said “fresh”, and it had dice in the mirror
if anything i could say that this cab was rare
but i thought man forget it yo homes to bel-air

taking a sh-t, sitting backwards on the toilet. much like will smith’s character “fresh prince of bel air” often sits backwards on chairs.
i’m going to go take a fresh prince.
