Luyện nghe bài hát It Wasn't Me, It Was The Fame

[erick
As the wind sets the mood, time to let off
A sucker to play me, the e I'm not soft
I'm very hardcore, droppin like warsaw
It reminds me, in 1984
When I went to a party with the master
To up, and put the mic in my hand
Everybody was there, junior high to high schools
to get busy, because I knew I had the tools
Then I got the heart and 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 nobody's
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 and I won't stop
To be the master, in the field of
I did that, and got a for myself
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 large
Earnin crazy cash flow, the whole nine
But when I told my college friends they kicked back and
Said, "you better grab your and take your behind to class"
They said, "you make a record and expect to get paid
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
you gettin a contract, but then you 'fess"
But when you heard my record playin, your was wide open
Your was tilted back that you was almost chokin
But I just lounge, and cool 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, name romanello
My records started then p withdrew
the college southern con, known as scsu
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 gold and my rolex
But p reply it's nothin, and don't like to flex
And when I up on the scene I always hear them whisper
"yo p's not the same, did you see him you? "
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!"

sermon]
Oh!
Now you wanna know me, before you speakin
Now you watch yo! mtv raps every
to see me, the e and the p
Coolin out on the scene, with fab 5
then you didn't know, that I was determined
To be a def rapper with the name sermon
To be a mover, someone that cause trouble
Then I thought, and up with e double
I can't forget, how they used to
Sayin he can't rap, because he talks with a
But I got paid, now you stupid
Amazed by the style the and how we looped it
Now I clock g's, trunk jewels, and star
Cool around town, and flex my benz
Definitely up, with the system that cranks
Livin well off, the ? in the bank
Epmd, is erick parrish makin
on tour, so you can call us roads/rhodes scholars
You saw me in eighty-seven, have you been because we miss you
I dismissed you, it me who dissed you, it was the .. "fame!"

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

[parrish
As I freak a funky style, to a funky rhythm
I use my crazy def talent, that God has
Me to flow slow, and still live
To a def lp, and catch mc's off guard
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 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 broke friends, you're bound to be the 10th one
So I cut my off, and p went for self
Me and sermon, and no one else
Strictly writin def lyrics to my ability
With the crazy imagination as my only
mc's around my way brag how def they are
But now they 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 mission of a point of no
To do a mc, who did not learn
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 like
I cooled on the run tour, with flavor and
Jazzy jeff and the fresh prince but I guess was luck
I did shows in crazy countries, like europe and
Copenhagen, denmark, and
I even been to our country, that they call
Keep eyes on your girl, cause p'll be watchin around the
Tick tick'n, yo out p rippin
A new way to sway, cause keep vickin
Flows and echoes, that sound
But you're in circles, and you ain't sayin jack
So take it in stride, by the way I'm still the
name is still parrish, sue's my girl, nuttin changed
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!"
