[Chorus: Canibus]
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..
[Canibus]
I vaguely remember 1974 when I was born
As soon as the doctor cut my umbilical cord he put me in my mother's arms
I was crying when she looked down at me
She was smiling ‘cause I guess she was happy
She absolutely had no idea
I was flowing ‘cause it wasn't quite clear
She just kept tickling me and ignoring me
True Hollywood Stories
[Chorus]
[Canibus]
My native home was Jamaica (No problems man)
We moved to the states a few years later
I had trouble fitting 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
[Chorus]
[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 I sold nine-hundred and ninety-nine-thousand
Over the years a lot of people tried to diss me
Cos I grabbed a piece of Hip Hop history
Thank God that the drama didn't destroy me
True Hollywood Stories
[Chorus]
[Canibus]
I took a trip to England with PakMan
Five months later we met Stan
He was cool so we let him join the band
And introduced him to the rest of the Horsemen
Then I hooked up with this cat named Lou
And he was cool with C-4 too
Now the whole crew's on tour with me
True Hollywood Stories
[Chorus]
[Canibus]
This is a story about beef
Arrogance, lies and deceit
This is an independent release
And that's why it's totally dependent 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 calling me
This is a True Hollywood Story
