As the wind the mood, it's time to let off
A sucker tried to me, the e I'm not soft
I'm very hardcore, droppin bombs warsaw
It me, back in 1984
When I to a party with the master plan
To step up, and put the mic in my
Everybody was there, junior high to high schools
to get busy, because I knew I had the tools
Then I got the heart and by the set
I said, "yo, I rock the set" "yeah no sweat"
Kickin in the place, people couldn't take it
The style I flowed, the way I and baked it
on I made a record, and got recognition
Everybody's jockin, now dissin
Written and by the new rap duo
Yes epmd, now I'm in school
I see the backstabbers, and the elderly creature
That used to diss me, when I was tryin to the
Tip and I won't stop
To be the master, in the field of
I did that, and got a name for
The of e, and all of my wealth
I see my fake friends, but things ain't the
Oh what a shame, I em
Who to blame? it me it was the .. "fame!"

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

Before I cut records I had dreams of large
Earnin crazy cash flow, the whole yards
But when I told my college friends kicked back and laughed
Said, "you better your books and take your behind to class"
They said, "you make a record and expect to get paid
Cause there's too def rappers in the world today"
I said, "yo, my is m.d. and my style is def"
They said, "your name is parrish son, you're like all the
you gettin a contract, but then you 'fess"
But when you heard my record playin, mouth was wide open
Your was tilted back that you was almost chokin
But I just lounge, and cool the fellas
Like my roomie d-wade, top notch, and ellis
I never with girls, only one and she was mellow
First name was terry, name romanello
My records started 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 and then chuckle, and throw up the peace sign
They wanna 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 them
"yo p's not the same, did you see him diss "
I go into my thoughts, then I questioned my brain
It me, the money, or the fortune, it was the .. "fame!"

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

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

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

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

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