Yo I vaguely remember 1974, when I was born

Soon as the doctor cut my ambilical cord, he put me in my mother's arms

I was cryin when she looked down at me

She was smilin cuz I guess she was happy (Coochie-coochie-coo!)

She absolutely had no idea

I was flowin cuz it wasn't quite clear (You so cute!)

She just kept ticklin me and ignorin me (Weeeee!)

My native home was Jamaica (No problems man)

We moved to the states a few years later

I had trouble fittin in (What did you say?)

Cuz I had a funny speech impediment

People couldn't understand what I mean

Meeda sata greedafa zeen (Sha oh)

I used to wear cross-colored jeans

Rasta belts with the red, gold, and green

My man used to boost travel pocket for me

In '93 I met the Lost Boyz

Without them, I wouldn't even have a voice

I showed the world I was nice with the verbals

That's how I got signed to Universal

I released two albums, in all sold 9 hundred and 99 thousand

Over the years, alotta people tryed to diss me

Cuz I grabbed a piece of hip-hop history

Thank God that the drama didn't destroy me

I took a trip to England with Pac-Man

Five months later we met Stan

He was cool so we let him join the band

And introduced him to the rest of the Horsemans

Then I hooked up with this cat named Lou (Lou-minatti)

And he was cool with C-4 too (plus two)

Now the whole crew's on tour with me

This is a story about beef

Arrogance, lies, and deceit

This is an independent release

And that's why it's totally depended on the streets

I ain't got no record label behind me

Maybe nobody got the balls to sign me

But it's cool cuz soon they'll all be callin me

This is a True Hollywood Story...
