[Chorus]
Oh, take this pill because you're ill, I bet you didn't even know
Take one in the day and one in the night, and feel them problems go
And so the tubs fly off the shelf for the benefit of that kid's mental health
And everybody's scottling, rattlin', rizzin' around

[Verse 1]
'Cause there will be times that you feel depressed (Depressed)
There will be times that you'll feel good (Feel Good)
There will be timеs that you feel like doing what you really know you shouldn't
Oh, so take you arms and lеt them in for it's your every right
The chance for the right folks each and every night

[Chorus]
And if you take this pill because you're ill, I bet you didn't even know
Take one in the day and one in the night, and feel them problems go
And so the tubs fly off the shelf for the benefit of that kid's mental health
And everybody's scottling, rattlin', rizzin' around

[Verse 2]
Oh, my kid's too vibrant (Gimme some Ritalin)
My kid's too giggly (Gimme some Ritalin)
And he makes makes mischief (Gimme some Ritalin right now)
And he has to be told
He can be disruptive (Gimme some Ritalin)
He can be antsy (Gimme some Ritalin)
Oh, but not let's forget the kid's only 8 years old
[Chorus]
Oh, take this pill because you're ill, I bet you didn't even know
Take one in the day and one in the night and feel them problems go
And so the tubs fly off them shelves, oh, for the benefit of that kid's mental health
And everybody's scottling, rattlin', rizzin' around

[Verse 3]
In West Philadelphia, born and raised
In a playground is where I spent most of my days
Shootin' out maxin', relaxin' all cool
And I was shooting some b-ball outside of the school
And a couple of guys, they were up to no good
They started making trouble in my neighbourhood
And only one little fight and my Mum got scared
She said "You move in with your aunty and uncle in Bel-Air"
So I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate that said "Fresh" and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought "Come on, forget it, you belong to Bel Air"

[Verse 4]
I pulled up to the house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo holmes, smell ya later"
I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there
Sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air
