As the wind the mood, it's time to let off
A tried to play me, the e I'm not soft
I'm hardcore, droppin bombs like warsaw
It me, back in 1984
When I went to a party with the plan
To up, and put the mic in my hand
Everybody was there, junior high to high schools
Dyin to get busy, because I knew I had the
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 take 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 elderly creature
used to diss me, when I was tryin to reach the
Tip tip-top and I 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 I had dreams of livin large
Earnin crazy cash flow, the whole yards
But when I told my college friends kicked back and laughed
Said, "you better grab your and take your behind to class"
They said, "you couldn't 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 is parrish son, you're like all the rest
Frontin you gettin a contract, but you 'fess"
But when you heard my record playin, your mouth was wide
Your head was tilted back that you was chokin
But I just lounge, and cool the fellas
my roomie d-wade, top notch, and james ellis
I never hung with girls, only one and she was
First name was terry, 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 up the peace sign
They wanna my gold and sport my rolex
But p it's really 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, 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 know me, before you wasn't speakin
Now you yo! mtv raps every weekend
to see me, the e and the p
Coolin out on the scene, with fab 5
Back you didn't know, that I was determined
To be a def with the name erick sermon
To be a crowd mover, someone that cause
I thought, and came up with e double
I forget, how they used to diss
Sayin he can't rap, because he talks with a
But I got paid, now you stupid
by the style the sound and how we looped it
Now I g's, trunk jewels, and star trims
Cool around town, and flex my black
Definitely hooked up, with the system cranks
Livin off, with the ? in the bank
Epmd, is erick parrish dollars
Always on tour, so you can call us roads/rhodes
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 a funky 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 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 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 nine 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 def lyrics to my best ability
With the crazy imagination as my utility
Cause mc's around my way brag how def are
But now they workin full time, and sharin their mom's
Always to the girls, how hard 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 blame us, blame god, it's his
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 when not you're not
And when it comes to funky music, the two rock the
So next 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 flavor and
Jazzy jeff and the prince but I guess that was luck
I did in crazy countries, like europe and france
Copenhagen, denmark, and
I even been to our country, they call africa
Keep your on your girl, cause p'll be watchin around the
tick'n, yo check out p rippin
A new way to sway, cause brothers keep
Flows and echoes, sound exact
But rhymin in circles, and you ain't sayin jack
So take it in stride, by the way I'm 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!"

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