True Hollywood Story.. this is a True Hollywood Story..
[Canibus]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 'cause I guess she was happy (Coochie-coochie-coo!)
She absolutely had no idea
I was flowin 'cause it wasn't quite clear (You so cute!)
She just kept ticklin me and ignorin me (Weeeee!)
[Hook][Canibus]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?)
'cause 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
True Hollywood Story
[Hook][Canibus]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
'cause I grabbed a piece of hip-hop history
Thank God that the drama didn't destroy me
True Hollywood Stories
[Hook][Canibus]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
[Hook][Canibus]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 'cause soon they'll all be callin me
This is a True Hollywood Story...
