As the sets the mood, it's time to let off
A tried to play me, the e I'm not soft
I'm very hardcore, droppin bombs warsaw
It reminds me, in 1984
When I went to a party with the master
To up, and put the mic in my hand
Everybody was there, from junior to high schools
Dyin to get busy, because I knew I had the
Then I got the and went by the set
I said, "yo, I wanna the set" "yeah no sweat"
Kickin rhymes in the place, couldn't take it
The I flowed, the way I shaked and baked it
on I made a record, and got recognition
Everybody's jockin, now nobody's
and produced by the new rap duo
Yes epmd, now I'm known in
I see the backstabbers, and the elderly creature
That to diss me, when I was tryin to reach the
Tip tip-top and I stop
To be the master, in the field of
I did that, and got a for myself
The of e, and all of my wealth
I see my fake friends, but ain't the same
Oh a shame, I diss em
Who to it wasn't me it was the .. "fame!"

[p] it me it was the .. "fame!"

Before I cut I had dreams of livin large
crazy cash flow, the whole nine yards
But when I told my college friends they back and laughed
Said, "you better grab books and take your behind to class"
They said, "you couldn't make a record and expect to get
Cause too many def rappers in the world today"
I said, "yo, my is m.d. and my style is def"
said, "your name is parrish son, you're like all the rest
Frontin you gettin a contract, but you 'fess"
But when you heard my record playin, mouth was wide open
head was tilted back that you was almost chokin
But I just lounge, and cool the fellas
Like my roomie d-wade, top notch, and james
I never with girls, only one and she was mellow
First name was terry, name romanello
My started sellin then p withdrew
From the college southern con, as scsu
But when I often go and visit they say, "p a rhyme"
I shake my head and chuckle, and throw up the peace sign
They feel my gold and sport my rolex
But p reply really nothin, and don't like to flex
And when I step up on the scene I always hear whisper
"yo p's not the same, did you see him you? "
I go deep into my thoughts, then I my brain
It me, the money, or the fortune, it was the .. "fame!"

[p] it me it was the .. "fame!"

Oh!
Now you wanna me, before you wasn't speakin
Now you yo! mtv raps every weekend
to see me, the e and the p
Coolin out on the scene, fab 5 freddy
Back then you didn't know, that I was
To be a def rapper with the name erick
To be a mover, someone that cause trouble
Then I thought, and came up e double
I can't forget, how they to diss
Sayin he can't rap, he talks with a lisp
But I got paid, now you stupid
by the style the sound and how we looped it
Now I g's, trunk jewels, and star trims
Cool around town, and flex my benz
Definitely hooked up, with the system that
well off, with the ? in the bank
Epmd, is parrish makin dollars
Always on tour, so you can call us roads/rhodes
You saw me in eighty-seven, where have you been because we you
I dismissed you, it me who dissed you, it was the .. "fame!"

[e] it me it was the .. "fame!"

[parrish
As I freak a funky style, to a fresh rhythm
I use my crazy def talent, God has given
Me to slow, and still live large
To drop a def lp, and catch off guard
Because my started buggin, we used to cool at the mall
But on the s.t., the sneak tip, they for my downfall
I used to cruise by in my rock and hear them mumble
"they got lucky on strictly biz but watch the one crumble"
My father always told me to up son
Cause if you hung with nine broke friends, bound to be the 10th one
So I cut my off, and p went for self
Me and erick sermon, and no one
Strictly writin def to my best ability
With the crazy imagination as my utility
mc's around my way brag how def they are
But now they workin full time, and sharin mom's cars
Always frontin to the girls, how hard you can
But you out how you carpin to go punch the clock
Yeah we came hittin hard, so all the had to halt
But don't blame us, blame god, it's his
For assistin us on the mission of a point of no
To do a crab mc, who did not
Now when you're hot you're hot, and when you're not not
And when it comes to music, the two rock the spot
So time you see me coolin, bite your lip and respect
Between me and you sonny, straight up, I'm like
I cooled on the run tour, with and chuck
Jazzy jeff and the fresh prince but I that was luck
I did shows in countries, like europe and france
Copenhagen, denmark, and
I even been to our country, they call africa
your eyes on your girl, cause p'll be watchin around the
Tick tick'n, yo out p rippin
A new way to sway, cause keep vickin
Flows and echoes, that exact
But you're rhymin in circles, and you ain't jack
So it in stride, by the way I'm still the same
First name is still parrish, sue's my girl, nuttin
You insist I act funny, but who's to
It wasn't yo! mtv raps, the money, or soul
It was the .. "fame!"

[p] it me it was the .. "fame!"

* dj k. la cuts up "fame!" *
