As the sets the mood, it's time to let off
A sucker to play me, the e I'm not soft
I'm hardcore, droppin bombs like warsaw
It reminds me, back in
When I to a party with the master plan
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
Then I got the heart and by the set
I said, "yo, I rock the set" "yeah no sweat"
rhymes in the place, people couldn't take it
The style I flowed, the way I shaked and it
on I made a record, and got recognition
Everybody's jockin, now dissin
and produced by the new rap duo
Yes epmd, now I'm known in
I see the backstabbers, and the elderly features
That used to diss me, when I was tryin to the
Tip tip-top and I won't
To be the master, in the field of
I did that, and got a name for
The image of e, and all of my
I see my fake friends, but ain't 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 livin
Earnin crazy flow, the whole nine yards
But when I told my college friends kicked back and laughed
Said, "you better grab your books and take your to class"
They said, "you couldn't a record and expect to get paid
there's 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, you're all the rest
Frontin you a contract, but then you 'fess"
But when you heard my record playin, your mouth was wide
Your head was tilted back that you was 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 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
wanna feel my gold and sport my rolex
But p it's really 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 diss "
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 know me, you wasn't speakin
Now you yo! mtv raps every weekend
to see me, the e and the p
Coolin out on the scene, fab 5 freddy
Back then you didn't know, I was determined
To be a def rapper with the erick sermon
To be a crowd mover, someone that trouble
Then I thought, and 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 and how we looped it
Now I clock g's, trunk jewels, and star
Cool town, and flex my black benz
Definitely hooked up, the system that cranks
well off, with the ? in the bank
Epmd, is erick makin dollars
on tour, so you can call us roads/rhodes scholars
You saw me in eighty-seven, have you been 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 a funky style, to a funky fresh rhythm
I use my def talent, that God has given
Me to flow slow, and live large
To drop a def lp, and catch mc's off
Because my friends buggin, we used to cool at the mall
But on the s.t., the sneak tip, prayed for my downfall
I used to by in my rock and always hear them mumble
"they got lucky on biz but watch the next one crumble"
My father always me to wisen up son
Cause if you hung with nine friends, you're bound to be the 10th 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
Cause mc's my way brag how def they are
But now they workin full time, and sharin mom's cars
Always to the girls, how hard you can rock
But you leave out how you to go punch the clock
Yeah we came hittin hard, so all the 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 crab mc, who did not
Now you're hot you're hot, and when you're not you're not
And when it to funky 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 prince but I guess that was
I did shows in crazy countries, europe and france
Copenhagen, denmark, and
I even been to our country, that they africa
Keep your eyes on your girl, p'll be watchin around the
Tick tick'n, yo check out p
A new way to sway, cause brothers vickin
and echoes, that sound exact
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 still parrish, sue's my girl, nuttin
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!"

* dj k. la boss up "fame!" *
