Have suffered on and off since I was young, but got my head in the right place about 4 years ago and have been generally fine since.

Now this is a 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

Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' 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 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 suitcase and sent 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?

Hmm, this might be alright.

But wait I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, all that

Is this the type of place that they just send this cool cat?

I don't think so

I'll see when I get there

I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

Well, the plane landed and when I came out

There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out

I ain't trying to get arrested yet

I just got here

I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared

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 could say that this cab was rare

But I thought, "Nah, forget it."

– "Yo, home to Bel-Air."

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8

And I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo home smell ya later."

I looked at my kingdom

I was finally there

To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel-Air

Sometimes it's debilitating, often it's relentless, occasionally it makes you feel suicidal over absolutely nothing at all, and mostly it's like a dark cloud just waiting to consume all that you are

Fair enought, I thought better to have a forum up to present the subject.

Ive experience a lot of thing in life, depression seem to be the one that lingers. Getting more bouts of downward spirals, ever since chilhood. Like many adolescent was a difficult and confused time. Feeling a strong urge to prove oneself, on the other hand not knowing fully who you are.

Unlike most, idea grown up in a house hold of violence. Moving house and changing schools every two years. A divorced mother and father, and step dad to add to the mix. Without going into to much detail, still struggle and have been on medication. Right now, excercise, socialzing and a healthy diet help.

The saving grace has certainly been my sibling. Keeping each other strong and full of support. There are lot of stories within mine, but thats the gist..

Thank you
