As the wind sets the mood, time to let off
A tried to play me, the e I'm not soft
I'm very hardcore, droppin bombs like
It reminds me, in 1984
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, I knew I had the tools
Then I got the and went by the set
I said, "yo, I wanna the set" "yeah no sweat"
Kickin rhymes in the place, people couldn't 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 creature features
used to diss me, when I was tryin to reach 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 image of e, and all of my
I see my friends, but things 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 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"
said, "you couldn't make a record and expect to get paid
Cause there's too def rappers in the world today"
I said, "yo, my is m.d. and my style is def"
They said, "your name is son, you're like all the rest
Frontin you a contract, but then you 'fess"
But when you heard my playin, your mouth was wide open
Your was tilted back that you was almost chokin
But I lounge, and cool with the fellas
Like my roomie d-wade, top notch, and ellis
I never with girls, only one and she was mellow
First name was terry, last name
My records sellin then 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 really nothin, and don't like to flex
And when I step up on the scene I always them whisper
"yo p's not the same, did you see him you? "
I go deep into my thoughts, then I 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, 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 name sermon
To be a mover, someone that cause trouble
Then I thought, and came up e double
I can't forget, how used to diss
he can't 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 up, with the system that cranks
Livin well off, with the ? in the
Epmd, is erick makin dollars
Always on tour, so you can call us roads/rhodes
You saw me in eighty-seven, where have you been 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 freak a style, to a funky fresh rhythm
I use my crazy def talent, God has given
Me to flow slow, and still live
To drop a def lp, and catch off guard
Because my friends started buggin, we used to at the mall
But on the s.t., the sneak tip, they for my downfall
I used to by in my rock and always hear them mumble
"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 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 lyrics to my ability
With the crazy imagination as my utility
mc's around my way brag how def they are
But now they workin full time, and sharin their mom's
Always frontin to the girls, how you can rock
But you leave out how you carpin to go punch the
Yeah we came hard, so all the talkin had to halt
But don't us, blame god, it's his fault
For assistin us on the mission of a point of no
To do a crab mc, who did not
Now when you're hot you're hot, and 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 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 been to our country, that they call africa
Keep your eyes on your girl, cause be watchin around the
Tick tick'n, yo check out p
A new way to sway, cause brothers vickin
Flows and echoes, sound exact
But you're rhymin in circles, and you ain't jack
So take it in stride, by the way I'm still the
First name is still parrish, sue's my girl, 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!"

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