Fresh Prince Of Bel-air Cab Fare Expenese

[webby]

Just how much Was The Fresh Prince's Cab Fare?

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked 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
Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She 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 suite case and send 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
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.
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 can say this cab is rare
But I thought 'Now 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'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

Wow, I never considered that he picked the cab up in Philly.

My highest fare ever was from Denver Airport to a neighborhood in Englewood, CO - I think (with tip) was nearly $150.

that's a drive. Probably would have been quite a savings to just rent a car and drop it off in englewood... or set it on fire

 

[KennyGS]

Yeah. It was my first time there, and my friend said he was only 20 minutes to a half hour from the airport. The second time I rented.

I thought the ticket was for the airplane.. and then he took a taxi from LAX to Bel-Air?
