As the sets the mood, it's time to let off
A sucker tried to me, the e I'm not soft
I'm hardcore, droppin bombs like warsaw
It me, back in 1984
When I went to a with the master plan
To step up, and put the mic in my
was there, from junior high 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 rock the set" "yeah no sweat"
Kickin rhymes in the place, people take it
The I flowed, the way I shaked and baked 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 creature
That to diss me, when I was tryin to reach the
Tip and I won't stop
To be the master, in the field of

The of e, and all of my wealth
I see my fake friends, but things the same
Oh what a shame, I em

Before I cut records I had dreams of livin
crazy cash flow, the whole nine yards
But when I my college friends they kicked back and laughed
Said, "you grab your books and take your behind to class"
They said, "you couldn't make a record and expect to get
there's too many 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, you're all the rest
Frontin you 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 just lounge, and with the fellas
my roomie d-wade, top notch, and james ellis
I hung with girls, only one and she was mellow
First was terry, last name romanello
My records started sellin p withdrew
From the college southern con, known as
But when I often go and visit they say, "p 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 really nothin, and don't 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 deep into my thoughts, then I questioned my
It me, the money, or the fortune, it was the .. "fame!"

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

Oh!
Now you wanna me, before you wasn't speakin
Now you watch yo! mtv raps every
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 with the name erick sermon
To be a mover, someone that cause trouble
Then I thought, and came up e double
I can't forget, how they to diss
Sayin he rap, because he talks with a lisp
But I got paid, now you feel
Amazed by the the sound and how we looped it
Now I clock g's, trunk jewels, and trims
Cool town, and flex my black benz
Definitely hooked up, with the that cranks
Livin off, with the ? in the bank
Epmd, is parrish makin dollars
Always on tour, so you can us roads/rhodes scholars
You saw me in eighty-seven, where have you 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 fresh
I use my crazy def talent, God has given
Me to slow, and still live large
To a def lp, and catch mc's off guard
Because my started buggin, we used to cool at the mall
But on the s.t., the tip, they prayed for my downfall
I used to cruise by in my rock and always hear them
"they got on strictly 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 bound to be the one
So I cut my friends off, and p for self
Me and erick sermon, and no one
Strictly writin def lyrics to my ability
With the crazy as my only utility
Cause mc's around my way how def they are
But now workin full time, and sharin their mom's cars
Always frontin to the girls, how hard you can
But you out how you carpin to go punch the clock
Yeah we hittin hard, so all the talkin had to halt
But don't blame us, god, it's his fault
For assistin us on the of a point 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 funky music, the two the spot
So time you see me coolin, bite your lip and respect
Between me and you sonny, up, I'm like death
I cooled on the run tour, with and chuck
Jazzy 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 call
Keep your eyes on your girl, p'll be watchin around the
Tick tick'n, yo out p rippin
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 who's to
It wasn't yo! mtv raps, the money, or train
It was the .. "fame!"

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