My name is Marques Barrett Houston   My mommy's name is Caroline   And my daddy's name is Michael   And my brother's name is Brandon   And my sister is danyele   Like Michael Jackson and hager Murphy   Eddie Murphy   And sometimes my grandmother Bebe comes over   And she going put me in the movies and we going be rich      Even when I was 2 I knew I’d be something   I thank god cause without him non of this would be   When I was 8 I was on my worst behavior    By the time I was 12 playtime was over      When I was 14 I told the world we got it   And at 16 I took you on my journey   At 18 I introduced you to Imx   And at 20 Imx came to an end   But then again every end has a new beginning      At 21 that beginning gave birth to MH   At 23 MH got naked   After millions of albums sold   Hundreds of magazine covers      3 years in a row of making ya'll scream   7 seasons of television   And a number 1 movie that made the whole world wanna dance      From the beginning to now   I’ve survived the rumors   The negativity, the drama, the breakups, and make-ups   The confusion between me and people about me saying shit on the radio I never said   I inspired the new generation of music      So now at 25 I think it's safe to say   That I, Marques Houston, am a Veteran
