I still know all the words to the fresh prince of bel-air...

[Nostalgia]
-In west Philadelphia born and raised,
on a 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, they were up to no good,
Started makin trouble in my neighbourhood,
I got in one little fight, and my mom got scared and said,
Youre movin with your auntie and uncle in Bel-air,
I whistled for a cab, and when it cam near, the Licence plate said "fresh" and it had a 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"
{Musical Interlude}
{/end Musical Interlude}
I, Pulled, up to the house about 7 or 8, and i yelled to the cabbie yo homes smell ya later,
I looked at my kingdom, i was finally there,
To sit on my throne, as the Prince of Bel-Air.
[/End Nostalgia]

Ive done most of those...thats the sad thing...

Some trivia: If you watch early episodes of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, you get a whole extra verse (added at the beginning) of Will Smith rhymin' and DJ Jazzy Jeff on the beats. It was a total shock to hear more of such a great song. Keep your ears open and you may be able to hear it some day.

Dylflon · 05-13-2004, 02:37 AM

This thread was the most nostalgic thing ever.

Takes me back.

pfft. not even the full version.

Now this is the 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 Philadelfia born and raised On the playground where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys said "we're up in no good"
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said "you're moving with your aunt and uncle in Bel-Air"

I begged and pleaded with her the other day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kissin' and she gave me my ticket
I put my walkman on and said I might as well kick it
First class, yo this is bad, Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
Is this what the people of Bel-Air livin' like,
Hmm this might be alright!

I whistled for a cab and when it came near the Licensplate said "Fresh" and had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought now forget it, yo home to Bel-Air
I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby "Yo, home smell you later"
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To settle my throne as the prince of Bel-Air

TheGame · 05-13-2004, 01:21 PM

That show was great, gonna get the first 4 seasons on DVD.

I still watch the Fresh Prince.

Know the words to the Ducktales song? That is just weak, I know that, TaleSpin, Darkwing Duck, Gummi Bears, Aladdin, heck most of the Disney afternoon block.

I loved Pound Puppies.

Smurfette wasn't the only female Smurf, baby Smurf was also female. That is what started to scare me.

Funny thing about Fraggle Rock is I never watched it nor heard about it, then like in Feb/March, my friend who went to school near me asked if I could get him episodes (I'm big on collecting old cartoons on my comp Batman: The Animated Series, Darkwing Duck and some others) so I was like ok. And that's howI saw my first episode.

I don't remember if I saw the original Turtles on the big screen. I've seen the movie a lot, probably 10 times in the last school year. Yup, it's about once a month at my school. Both of them, let's not talk about this supposed 3rd one.

Oregon Trail was a great game, use to suck when my cattle would die, and why is it teachers started off with such lousy pay?

I could keep going through that list, but I won't and some of it only applies to females...
