An idea?

I originally thought this might be a good fit for Wallace. Think its worth working into the characters page? MadMax 18:17, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

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 Philadelphia born and raised

On the playground was 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 who were up to 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 auntie and uncle in Bel-Air"

I whistled for a cab and when it came near

The license plate said "fresh" and there were 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 a house about seven or eight

And I yelled to the cabby "yo Holmes, smell you later"

Looked at my kingdom, I was finally there

To sit on my throne as the prince of Be-

Haha, nice. That could be a great fit for Cheese, too. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​UU​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 18:21, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Hopefully these are a little more upbeat? ;) MadMax 03:38, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

Kind of off-topic but I thought this was pretty cool. MadMax 21:40, August 5, 2011 (UTC)

Cool. I love this article. --Nikau 01:58, October 20, 2011 (UTC)
