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
