Veteran (Intro)

(앨범: Veteran - 2007)

My name is Marques...Barrett...Houston.
My mommy's name is Carolyn and my daddy's name is Michael.
And my brother's name is Brandon and my sister is Danyelle.
I like Michael Jackson and Eddie Murphy.
And sometimes my grandmother Ray Ray comes over and she going to put me in a movie and we going to be rich.

Even when I was 2 I knew I'd be something.
I thank God because without him none 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 making you all "Scream", 7 seasons of television,
and the number 1 movie that made the whole world wanna dance.

From the beginning to now,
I survived the rumors, the negativity, the drama, the break ups, the 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 is safe to say: That I Marques Houston am a "Veteran."
