As the wind the mood, it's time to let off
A sucker tried to play me, the e I'm not
I'm hardcore, droppin bombs like warsaw
It reminds me, back in
When I went to a party the master plan
To step up, and put the mic in my
Everybody was there, from high to high schools
Dyin to get busy, I knew I had the tools
Then I got the heart and by the set
I said, "yo, I wanna the set" "yeah no sweat"
rhymes in the place, people couldn't take it
The style I flowed, the way I and baked it
Later on I a record, and got recognition
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, when I was tryin to 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 of e, and all of my wealth
I see my friends, but things ain't the same
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 livin
Earnin cash flow, the whole nine yards
But when I told my college they kicked back and laughed
Said, "you better your books and take your behind to class"
They said, "you couldn't 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 is parrish son, you're like all the rest
Frontin you a contract, but then you 'fess"
But when you my record playin, your mouth was wide open
Your head was tilted back you was almost chokin
But I just lounge, and with the fellas
my roomie d-wade, top notch, and james ellis
I never hung with girls, only one and she was
First name was terry, last romanello
My records started sellin then p
From the college southern con, known as
But when I often go and visit 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 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 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
then you didn't know, that I was determined
To be a def rapper with the name erick
To be a mover, someone that cause trouble
Then I thought, and 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 g's, trunk jewels, and star trims
around town, and flex my black benz
Definitely hooked up, with the system that
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 you, it wasn't 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 still large
To drop a def lp, and mc's off guard
Because my friends started buggin, we used to at the mall
But on the s.t., the sneak tip, they for my downfall
I used to cruise by in my rock and always them mumble
"they got on strictly biz but watch the next one crumble"
My always told me to wisen up son
Cause if you hung with broke 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
writin def lyrics to my best ability
With the imagination as my only utility
mc's around my way brag how def they are
But now they workin full time, and sharin their mom's
Always frontin to the girls, how hard you can
But you leave out how you carpin to go the clock
Yeah we came hard, so all the talkin had to halt
But don't blame us, blame god, his fault
For us on the mission of a point of no return
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 funky music, the two the spot
So time you see me coolin, bite your lip and respect
Between me and you sonny, straight up, I'm like
I on the run tour, with flavor and chuck
Jazzy and the fresh prince but I guess that was luck
I did shows in crazy countries, europe and france
Copenhagen, denmark, and
I even been to our country, that 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 sayin
So it in stride, by the way I'm still the same
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!"
