Fresh Prince

By Ryan Hiemenz

Now, this is a story all about how

Chris Rock got slapped and I got crowned

And I'd like to take a minute

Just sit right there

I’ll tell you how the Oscars was trending when nobody cared


On Hollywood Boulevard, slicked and clean

At the theater was where I’d spend most of my day

Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin', all cool

And watchin’ some movies, not thinking of rules

When a comedian dude who was up to no good

Started making jokes about my better half

I gave him one little slap and sat back down

And yelled, “Keep my wife’s name out your fucking mouth”
