Jada Pinkett Smith has revealed a vintage video of her and the late Tupac Shakur lip-synching to her future husband's 80's hit "Parents Just Don't Understand."

Once upon a time, the late Tupac Shakur and Jada Pinkett were childhood friends who created a cheesy video of them dancing to 1988 hit Will Smith recorded as part of the duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince.

As we all know, she would eventually marry The Fresh Prince, Will Smith.

She shared the video to her Instagram along with an excerpt from her memoir "Worthy." In it, she says, "Not in a million years would I have dreamed that the Fresh Prince and I would become, um, very acquainted."

'Not in a million years did I imagine three lives, their fates, would be so intertwined.'

"And… I never would have imagined that this video would become a tangible memory of the last time Pac and I, were simply kids together.'

"Pac and I lip-syncing Parents Just Don't Understand by Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince during our Junior year in high school. Who would have thought?"

Pinkett-Smith and Shakur were good childhood friends, attending high school together, and remained so until his tragic death in 1996.

Catch the sweet and silly video below.
