[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
