Somebody'S Watching Me
Rockwell
4:59Now 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 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 making trouble in my neighborhood I got in one little fight and my mom got scared And said "You're moving 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 gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket I 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 are livin' like? Hmm, this might be alright But wait, I hear they're prissy, bourgeois 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 lightnin' 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 "Nah, forget it, yo, Holmes, to Bel-Air!" I pulled up to the house about seven or eight And I yelled to the cabbie "Yo, Holmes, smell ya later!" Looked at my kingdom, I was finally there To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel-Air!
