[erick
As the wind sets the mood, it's to let off
A tried to play me, the e I'm not soft
I'm very hardcore, droppin bombs like
It reminds me, in 1984
When I went to a party with the plan
To step up, and put the mic in my
Everybody was there, from junior to high schools
Dyin to get busy, because I knew I had the
Then I got the heart and by the set
I said, "yo, I wanna the set" "yeah no sweat"
Kickin in the place, people couldn't take it
The I flowed, the way I shaked and baked it
Later on I made a record, and got
jockin, now nobody's 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, I was tryin to reach the
Tip tip-top and I won't
To be the master, in the of hip-hop
I did that, and got a for myself
The image of e, and all of my
I see my friends, but things ain't the same
Oh what a shame, I em
Who to it wasn't me it was the .. "fame!"

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

Before I cut records I had dreams of livin
Earnin crazy cash flow, the whole yards
But when I told my college friends they kicked and laughed
Said, "you better grab your books and your behind to class"
said, "you couldn't make a record and expect to get paid
Cause there's too def rappers in the world today"
I said, "yo, my name is m.d. and my is def"
They said, "your name is parrish son, like all the rest
you gettin a contract, but then you 'fess"
But you heard my record playin, your mouth was wide open
Your head was back that you was almost chokin
But I lounge, and cool with the fellas
Like my roomie d-wade, top notch, and ellis
I never hung with girls, only one and she was
First name was terry, name romanello
My records sellin then p withdrew
From the southern con, known as scsu
But when I often go and they say, "p bust a rhyme"
I my head and then chuckle, and throw up the peace sign
They wanna feel my gold and my rolex
But p reply it's really nothin, and don't to flex
And when I up on the scene I always hear them whisper
"yo p's not the same, did you see him you? "
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 raps 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 crowd mover, someone that cause
Then I thought, and came up e double
I forget, how they used to diss
Sayin he rap, because he talks with a lisp
But I got paid, now you stupid
Amazed by the style the sound and how we it
Now I g's, trunk jewels, and star trims
Cool around town, and flex my black
hooked up, with the system that cranks
Livin well off, with the ? in the
Epmd, is erick parrish dollars
Always on tour, so you can us roads/rhodes scholars
You saw me in eighty-seven, where have you been because we you
I you, it wasn't 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 flow slow, and still large
To drop a def lp, and catch off guard
Because my friends started buggin, we to cool at the mall
But on the s.t., the sneak tip, prayed for my downfall
I to cruise by in my rock and always hear them mumble
"they got lucky on strictly biz but the next one crumble"
My father told me to wisen up son
Cause if you hung with nine friends, you're 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 lyrics to my ability
the crazy imagination 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 to the girls, how hard 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 point of no
To do a mc, who did not learn
Now when you're hot you're hot, and you're not you're not
And when it comes to music, the two rock the spot
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, flavor and chuck
jeff and the fresh prince but I guess that was luck
I did shows in crazy countries, like europe and
Copenhagen, denmark, and
I even been to our country, that they africa
Keep your eyes on your girl, p'll be watchin around the
Tick tick'n, yo check out p
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 take it in stride, by the way I'm still the
First name is still parrish, sue's my girl, changed
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!"
