[00:00.00]Parents Just Don't Understand - DJ Jazzy Jeff/The Fresh Prince
[00:11.06]You know parents are the same no matter time nor place
[00:13.62]They don't understand that us kids are gonna make some mistakes
[00:16.06]So to you all the kids all across the land
[00:18.99]There's no need to argue parents just don't understand
[00:32.96]I remember one year
[00:34.02]My mom took me school shopping
[00:35.58]It was me my brother my mom oh my pop and my little sister
[00:39.45]All hopped in the car
[00:40.83]We headed downtown to the Gallery Mall
[00:44.01]MY mom started bugging with the clothes she chose
[00:46.51]I didn't say nothing at first
[00:47.83]I just turned up my nose
[00:49.46]She said"What's wrong This shirt cost $20"
[00:52.08]I said"Mom this shirt is plaid with a butterfly collar"
[00:54.89]The next half hour was the same old thing
[00:57.46]My mother buying me clothes from 1963
[01:00.20]And then she lost her mind and did the ultimate
[01:03.08]I asked her for Adidas and she bought me Zips
[01:05.70]I said"Mom what are you doing you're ruining my rep"
[01:08.08]She said"You're only sixteen you don't have a rep yet"
[01:11.08]I said"Mom let's put these clothes back please"
[01:13.33]She said"no you go to school to learn not for a fashion show"
[01:16.46]I said"This isn't Sha Na Na come on Mom I'm not Bowzer
[01:19.39]Mom please put back the bell-bottom Brady Bunch trousers
[01:21.39]But if you don't want to I can live with that but
[01:24.70]You gotta put back the double-knit reversible slacks"
[01:27.83]She wasn't moved - everything stayed the same
[01:30.39]Inevitably the first day of school came
[01:33.12]I thought I could get over I tried to play sick
[01:35.75]But my mom said"No no way uh-uh forget it"
[01:38.65]There was nothing I could do I tried to relax
[01:41.09]I got dressed up in those ancient artifacts
[01:43.84]And when I walked into school it was just as I thought
[01:46.46]The kids were cracking up laughing at the clothes Mom bought
[01:49.40]And those who weren't laughing still had a ball
[01:52.11]Because they were pointing and whispering
[01:53.55]As I walked down the hall
[01:54.80]I got home and told my Mom how my day went
[01:56.89]She said"If they were laughing you don't need them
[01:59.02]Cause they're not good friends"
[02:00.08]For the next six hours I tried to explain to my Mom
[02:02.76]That I was gonna have to go through this about 200 more times
[02:05.76]So to you all the kids all across the land
[02:08.20]There's no need to argue
[02:09.64]Parents just don't understand
[02:22.89]Oh-kay here's the situation
[02:25.11]My parents went away on a week's vacation and
[02:27.42]They left the keys to the brand new Porsche
[02:30.05]Would they mind
[02:31.48]Umm well of course not
[02:33.54]I'll just take it for a little spin
[02:35.61]And maybe show it off to a couple of friends
[02:38.61]I'll just cruise it around the neighborhood
[02:41.48]Well maybe I shouldn't
[02:42.42]Yeah of course I should
[02:44.67]Pay attention here's the thick of the plot
[02:46.48]I pulled up to the corner at the end of my block
[02:49.36]That's when I saw this beautiful girlie girl walking
[02:51.79]I picked up my car phone to perpetrate like I was talking
[02:55.44]You should've seen this girl's bodily dimensions
[02:57.69]I honked my horn just to get her attention
[03:00.26]She said"Was that for me"
[03:01.57]I said"Yeah"
[03:02.13]She said"Why"
[03:02.88]I said"Come on and take a ride with a helluva guy"
[03:06.32]She said"How do I know you're not sick
[03:08.63]You could be some deranged lunatic"
[03:11.02]I said"C'mon toots my name is the Prince
[03:13.89]Beside would a lunatic have a Porsche like this"
[03:16.77]She agreed and we were on our way
[03:19.15]She was looking very good and so was I I must say - word
[03:22.71]We hit McDonald's pulled into the drive
[03:24.71]We ordered two Big Macs and two large fries with Cokes
[03:27.95]She kicked her shoes off onto the floor
[03:30.14]She said"Drive fast speed turns me on"
[03:33.14]She put her hand on my knee I put my foot on the gas
[03:35.71]We almost got whiplash I took off so fast
[03:38.58]The sun roof was open the music was high
[03:41.21]And this girl's hand was steadily moving up my thigh
[03:44.01]She had opened up three buttons on her shirt so far
[03:46.77]I guess that's why I didn't notice that police car
[03:49.89]We're doing ninety in my Mom's new Porsche
[03:51.95]And to make this long story short - short
[03:54.95]When the cop pulled me over I was scared as hell
[03:57.83]I said"I don't have a license but I drive very well officer"
[04:00.95]I almost had a heart attack that day
[04:02.76]Come to find out the girl was a twelve-year-old runaway
[04:06.08]I was arrested the car was impounded
[04:08.76]There was no way for me to avoid being grounded
[04:11.51]My parents had to come off from vacation to get me
[04:14.08]I'd rather be in jail than to have my father hit me
[04:16.83]My parents walked in
[04:17.95]I got my grip I said"Ah Mom Dad how was your trip"
[04:22.64]They didn't speak - I said"I want to plead my case"
[04:25.14]But my father just shoved me in the car by my face
[04:27.58]That was a hard ride home I don't know how I survived
[04:30.27]They took turns - one would beat me while the other was driving
[04:33.08]I can't believe it I just made a mistake
[04:35.71]Well parents are the same no matter time nor place
[04:38.33]So to you all the kids all across the land
[04:41.08]Take it from me parents just don't understand
