As the wind sets the mood, time to let off
A sucker to play me, the e I'm not soft
I'm very hardcore, droppin bombs like
It me, back in 1984
When I went to a party with the master
To step up, and put the mic in my
Everybody was there, junior high to high schools
Dyin to get busy, because I knew I had the
I got the heart and went by the set
I said, "yo, I rock 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 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 of hip-hop
I did that, and got a for myself
The of e, and all of my wealth
I see my fake friends, but things 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 of livin large
crazy cash flow, the whole nine yards
But when I told my college they kicked back and laughed
Said, "you better grab your and take your behind to class"
They said, "you couldn't make a and expect to get paid
Cause there's too many def rappers in the today"
I said, "yo, my is m.d. and my style is def"
They said, "your is parrish son, you're like all the rest
you gettin a contract, but then you 'fess"
But when you my record playin, your mouth was wide open
Your was tilted back that you was almost chokin
But I lounge, and cool with the fellas
my roomie d-wade, top notch, and james ellis
I never hung with girls, one and she was mellow
First was terry, last name romanello
My records started sellin then p
From the college southern con, known as
But I often go and visit they say, "p bust a rhyme"
I shake my head and then chuckle, and throw up the sign
They wanna feel my gold and sport my
But p reply it's really nothin, and 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 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 speakin
Now you yo! mtv raps every weekend
to see me, the e and the p
Coolin out on the scene, with fab 5
Back you didn't know, that I was determined
To be a def rapper 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 rap, because he talks with a lisp
But I got paid, now you feel
Amazed by the style the sound and how we it
Now I clock g's, trunk jewels, and star
Cool town, and flex my black benz
Definitely hooked up, with the that cranks
Livin well off, the ? in the bank
Epmd, is parrish makin dollars
on tour, so you can call us roads/rhodes scholars
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 def talent, that God has given
Me to flow slow, and still live
To drop a def lp, and catch off guard
my friends 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 biz but watch the next one crumble"
My father told me to wisen up son
Cause if you hung with nine broke friends, you're 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 to my best ability
With the crazy imagination as my utility
Cause mc's around my way brag how def are
But now they workin full time, and their mom's cars
Always frontin to the girls, how you can rock
But you leave out how you carpin to go punch the
Yeah we came hittin hard, so all the had to halt
But blame us, blame god, it's his fault
For us on the mission of a point of no return
To do a mc, who did not learn
Now when hot you're hot, and when you're not you're not
And when it to funky 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
jeff and the fresh prince but I guess that was luck
I did shows in countries, like europe and france
Copenhagen, denmark, and
I even been to our country, that call africa
Keep your eyes on your girl, cause p'll be around the
tick'n, yo check out p rippin
A new way to sway, cause brothers keep
Flows and echoes, that sound
But you're rhymin in circles, and you sayin jack
So take it in stride, by the way I'm still the
First name is parrish, sue's my girl, nuttin changed
You I act funny, but who's to blame?
It yo! mtv raps, the money, or soul train
It was the .. "fame!"

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