Derek Minor released a lyric video for his new song "Fresh Prince," and the visuals take on the early 90s with a throwback to "Saved by the Bell" graphics and a cartoon Will Smith.
With ample trombone synths and echoing 808s, Derek’s self-produced track has a nostalgic feel including several references to the 1990s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air starring actor/rapper Will Smith. Additionally, the song title offers clever wordplay and celebrates the blessings of being the son of the king," reads the video.

Derek Minor – Fresh Prince Lyrics
[Hook]
Aye I'm feeling like fresh prince
Fresh prince
I might mess around and call Will Smith
[Verse 1]
I'm somewhere between Martin Luther king and 99 master p
I might pull up in a tank with RMG beside me
Nashville Tennessee, yea you know that's where I be
How you do this without a deal, I told em God signed me
Don't try to check me
I serve a rapper like Jeffery
Prolly why most of em salty
So I drink they tears like a Pepsi
I pull the card of a rapper that act like he play for Bel Air and he ballin
Told em, show me them racks bet that he dance round the truth like he Carlton
If it ain't about progress, it's dead to me
They want the soul food and I got the recipe
I talk to God and he told me I better be
Acting like royalty, acting royalty uh
They tell me when you at the top, it's lonely
I don't believe em, I'll bring all my homies
They was wit me, all we had was rice a roni
Just a bunch of kings, Trill only
[Hook]
Aye I'm feeling like fresh prince
Fresh prince
I might mess around and call Will Smith
[Verse 2]
Outside the car dark skinned like Vivian
Inside the car light skinned like Vivian
How many times gotta tell you I'm different
Can't fit my throne in that box that y'all put me in
And this difference is the independence that I'm living
Try to get you in attendance
Any opposition trying stop the kingdom that we building
I hope they all offended
Don't know who are so I'm telling it
Whipping this cut through yo hood like a chariot
Dodging these Judas Iscariots
Trapped in this system that wanna make us slaves and then bury us
So glory hallelujah, I know they watching my maneuvers
So I ride the beat like it's a Uber
You want the truth I'll bring it to you
Jesus the king and I'm a prince
You see it in my fingerprints
Gave me new flavor I'm running with
Keep my old flow mane just pay the rent
