True Hollywood Stories true Hollywood Story
True Hollywood Story true Hollywood Story
True Hollywood Story true Hollywood Story
True Hollywood Story this is
A True Hollywood Story

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)

True Hollywood Stories true Hollywood Story
True Hollywood Story true Hollywood Story
True Hollywood Story true Hollywood Story
True Hollywood Story this is
A True Hollywood Story

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
Used ta talk real fast, 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
True Hollywood Story

True Hollywood Stories true Hollywood Story
True Hollywood Story true Hollywood Story
True Hollywood Story true Hollywood Story
True Hollywood Story this is
A True Hollywood Story

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
A lotta' people tried to diss me
Cuz I grabbed a piece of Hip-Hop history
Thank God that the drama didn't destroy me
True Hollywood Stories

True Hollywood Stories true Hollywood Story
True Hollywood Story true Hollywood Story
True Hollywood Story true Hollywood Story
True Hollywood Story this is
A True Hollywood Story

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
True Hollywood Stories

True Hollywood Stories true Hollywood Story
True Hollywood Story true Hollywood Story
True Hollywood Story true Hollywood Story
True Hollywood Story this is
A True Hollywood Story

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
