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."
