1.Veteran(Intro)

My name is Marques...Barrett...Houston.
My mommy's name is Carrolyn 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 Bebe 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 ya'll '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.'
