As the sets the mood, it's time to let off
A sucker to play me, the e I'm not soft
I'm very hardcore, droppin bombs like
It reminds me, back in
I went to a party with the master plan
To step up, and put the mic in my
Everybody was there, from junior high to high
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 rhymes in the place, couldn't take it
The style I flowed, the way I and baked it
Later on I a record, and got recognition
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 creature
That used to diss me, when I was tryin to the
Tip and I won't 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!"

Before I cut records I had dreams of livin
Earnin crazy cash flow, the nine yards
But when I told my college friends they kicked back and
Said, "you better grab your books and your behind to class"
They said, "you couldn't make a record and to get paid
Cause too many 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, 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 tilted that you was almost chokin
But I lounge, and cool with the fellas
my roomie d-wade, top notch, and james ellis
I hung with girls, only one and she was mellow
name was terry, last name romanello
My records sellin then p withdrew
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 peace
They feel my gold and sport my rolex
But p reply it's nothin, and don't like to flex
And I step 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 every weekend
to see me, the e and the p
Coolin out on the scene, with fab 5
Back then you didn't know, that I was
To be a def rapper the name erick sermon
To be a crowd mover, someone that trouble
Then I thought, and came up e double
I can't forget, how they to diss
Sayin he can't rap, because he talks with a
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
around town, and flex my black benz
Definitely hooked up, with the system cranks
Livin off, with the ? in the bank
Epmd, is erick makin dollars
Always on tour, so you can us roads/rhodes scholars
You saw me in eighty-seven, have you been because we miss you
I dismissed you, it wasn't me who you, it was the .. "fame!"

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

As I freak a funky style, to a funky rhythm
I use my def talent, that God has given
Me to slow, and still live large
To drop a def lp, and catch mc's off
Because my started buggin, we used to cool at the mall
But on the s.t., the sneak tip, prayed for my downfall
I used to cruise by in my and always hear them mumble
"they got lucky on strictly biz but the next one crumble"
My father always told me to 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 went for
Me and sermon, and no one else
Strictly def lyrics to my best ability
the crazy imagination as my only utility
Cause mc's my way brag how def they are
But now they workin time, and sharin their mom's cars
frontin to the girls, how hard you can rock
But you leave out how you carpin to go the clock
we came hittin hard, so all the talkin had to halt
But don't blame us, blame god, it's his
For assistin us on the mission of a of no return
To do a mc, who did not learn
Now when you're hot you're hot, and when you're not not
And it comes to funky music, the two rock the spot
So time you see me coolin, bite your lip and respect
me and you sonny, straight up, I'm like death
I cooled on the run tour, with and chuck
Jazzy jeff and the fresh 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 they call
Keep your eyes on girl, cause p'll be watchin around the
Tick tick'n, yo check out p
A new way to sway, cause brothers vickin
Flows and echoes, that exact
But you're rhymin in circles, and you sayin 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 to blame?
It yo! mtv raps, the money, or soul train
It was the .. "fame!"

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