[erick
As the wind sets the mood, time to let off
A sucker tried to play me, the e I'm not
I'm very hardcore, bombs like warsaw
It reminds me, back in
I went to a party with the master plan
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 rock the set" "yeah no sweat"
Kickin rhymes in the place, couldn't take it
The style I flowed, the way I shaked and it
Later on I made a record, and got
Everybody's jockin, now dissin
and produced by the new rap duo
Yes epmd, now I'm in school
I see the backstabbers, and the elderly features
That used to diss me, when I was to reach the
Tip tip-top and I stop
To be the master, in the of hip-hop
I did that, and got a name for
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 dreams of large
Earnin crazy cash flow, the whole yards
But when I told my college friends they kicked and laughed
Said, "you better grab books and take your behind to class"
They said, "you make a record and expect to get paid
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 a contract, but then you 'fess"
But when you heard my record playin, your mouth was open
Your head was tilted back that you was chokin
But I just lounge, and cool with the
Like my d-wade, top notch, and james ellis
I never with girls, only one and she was mellow
First was terry, last name romanello
My records started sellin then p
From the college con, known as scsu
But when I often go and visit say, "p bust a rhyme"
I shake my head and chuckle, and throw up the peace sign
They wanna feel my and sport my rolex
But p reply it's nothin, and don't like to flex
And when I step up on the I always hear them whisper
"yo p's not the same, did you see him diss "
I go deep into my thoughts, 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, with fab 5
Back then you didn't know, I was determined
To be a def rapper with the 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 talks a lisp
But I got paid, now you feel
by the style the sound and how we looped it
Now I clock g's, jewels, and star trims
Cool town, and flex my black benz
Definitely up, with the system that cranks
Livin well off, with the ? in the
Epmd, is erick parrish makin
Always on tour, so you can call us roads/rhodes
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 def talent, that 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 cool at the
But on the s.t., the sneak tip, prayed for my downfall
I used to cruise by in my rock and always hear them
"they got lucky on strictly biz but watch the one crumble"
My father always me to wisen up son
Cause if you hung with nine broke friends, you're bound to be the one
So I cut my friends off, and p went for
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 time, and sharin their mom's cars
Always frontin to the girls, how you can rock
But you leave out how you carpin to go the clock
Yeah we came hittin hard, so all the had to halt
But don't us, blame god, it's his fault
For assistin us on the mission of a of no return
To do a crab mc, who did not
Now when you're hot hot, and when you're not you're not
And when it comes to music, the two rock the spot
So next you see me coolin, bite your lip and respect
Between me and you sonny, straight up, I'm death
I on the run tour, with flavor and chuck
Jazzy jeff and the fresh 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 brothers keep
and echoes, that sound 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 parrish, sue's my girl, nuttin changed
You insist I act funny, but who's to
It yo! mtv raps, the money, or soul train
It was the .. "fame!"

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