Martin Fitzgerald Lawrence (born April 16, 1965) is an American comedian, actor, and filmmaker. He came to fame during the 1990s, establishing a Hollywood career as a leading actor, most notably in the films House Party, Boomerang, Bad Boys, Nothing to Lose, Blue Streak, Life, Big Momma's House, and A Thin Line Between Love & Hate.
The fourth of six children, Lawrence was born in Frankfurt, West Germany (now Germany) on April 16, 1965, to African American parents who were serving in the U.S. military in West Germany at the time of Martin's birth. Lawrence was named after civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. and U.S. President John F. Kennedy. His parents divorced when he was eight years old and Lawrence rarely saw his estranged father, who worked as a police officer. His mother, Chlora (née Bailey), began working several jobs to support her family. During his teen years, Lawrence excelled at boxing. He lived in Queens, New York, and Landover, Maryland, and he attended: Thomas G. Pullen School of Creative and Performing Arts (Landover, Maryland); Fairmont Heights High School (Fairmont Heights, Maryland); Eleanor Roosevelt High School; and Friendly High School in Fort Washington, Maryland, becoming a Mid-Atlantic Golden Gloves boxing contender. He seriously considered a professional career until he suffered a broken eye that prompted him to reconsider.
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actor. Called the King of Pop, his contributions to music and dance, along with his publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades.
The eighth child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene along with his elder brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon as a member of the Jackson 5 in 1964, and began his solo career in 1971. In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. The music videos for his songs, including those of "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller" from his 1982 album Thriller, were credited with breaking down racial barriers and with transforming the medium into an art form and promotional tool. The popularity of these videos helped to bring the then-relatively-new television channel MTV to fame. His 1987 album Bad spawned the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "I Just Can't Stop Loving You", "Bad", "The Way You Make Me Feel", "Man in the Mirror", and "Dirty Diana", becoming the first album to have five number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. With videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream", he continued to innovate the medium throughout the 1990s, as well as forging a reputation as a touring solo artist. Through stage and video performances, Jackson popularized a number of complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk, to which he gave the name. His distinctive sound and style has influenced numerous artists of various music genres.
Yo, comin' to you live from the Hen

Being a real nigga got me a deal
They say he go crazy, they say it too real
But being a real nigga got me a deal
I want all these hoes to know
That a real nigga just hit the door

I did not beg for this fame, i was chose

I was that nigga that boarded the clothes
Now I'm that nigga that's rockin' the shows
You think you know me, but you do not know
I can minus my (???) and turn it to gold
I tell all of my niggas I love them or so
I can't focus on niggas to show me no love
Cause I came in the game and I showed niggas love
Cause I came in the game and I swiped niggas up
I fuck with security, don't fuck with no chumps
I used to smile in their face but I give them no trust
Yo, Diggy, you real nigga, tell 'em

[Hook]
Tell all these chill ass niggas
Don't play with me, playa
Cause yo niggas owe me some papers
That mean that they play for me, playa

To talk or to hate on you, playa
I am too busy, smokin' on gas
And makin' away from my niggas
My niggas got kids, they momma be trippin'
Momma be paid, give that bitch what she want
I don't check my account and I know that I save enough
Knowledge, my nigga, my God is so serious
Been to the Caine, are you hearin' me nigga?

Child support late, they ain't payin' you, nigga?
Shout on the radio, you stay with yo nigga
