"The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" aired on NBC from 1990 to 1996, running for six seasons and effectively launching Will Smith's career. The lyrics were written specifically for the show by Will Smith and produced by DJ Jazzy Jeff, with Smith writing the lyrics in about 15 minutes.
The song is a narrative rap telling the story of how the character went from living in rough circumstances surrounded by troublemakers to living in luxury with relatives. The lyrics perfectly set up the premise, establishing the setting, character, and conflict, distinguishing between the two worlds: basketball and fighting to incredible affluence.
