As the wind the mood, it's 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 went to a party the master plan
To up, and put the mic in my hand
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, couldn't take it
The style I flowed, the way I and baked it
on I made a record, and got recognition
Everybody's jockin, now dissin
Written and by the new rap duo
Yes epmd, now I'm in school
I see the backstabbers, and the elderly creature
That used to 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 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 blame? it me it was the .. "fame!"

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

Before I cut records I had of livin large
Earnin crazy cash flow, the whole nine
But I told my college friends they kicked back and laughed
Said, "you better grab books and take your behind to class"
They said, "you couldn't make a record and to get paid
Cause there's too 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, like all the rest
Frontin you a contract, but then you 'fess"
But when you my record playin, your mouth was wide open
Your head was tilted back that you was almost
But I just lounge, and with the fellas
Like my roomie d-wade, top notch, and ellis
I never hung with girls, one and she was mellow
First was terry, last name romanello
My started 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 and then chuckle, and throw up the peace sign
They wanna feel my and sport my rolex
But p reply it's nothin, and don't like 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 into my thoughts, then I questioned 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, that I was
To be a def rapper with the name erick
To be a crowd mover, that cause trouble
Then I thought, and came up e double
I can't forget, how used to diss
Sayin he can't rap, because he with a lisp
But I got paid, now you stupid
Amazed by the style the and how we looped it
Now I clock g's, jewels, and star trims
around town, and flex my black benz
Definitely hooked up, with the system that
well off, with the ? in the bank
Epmd, is erick makin dollars
Always on tour, so you can call us 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!"

As I freak a funky style, to a fresh rhythm
I use my crazy def talent, God has given
Me to flow slow, and live large
To drop a def lp, and mc's off guard
my friends started 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 biz but watch the next one crumble"
My father always me to wisen up son
Cause if you hung with nine broke friends, you're 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
the crazy imagination as my only utility
Cause around my way brag how def they are
But now workin full time, and sharin their mom's cars
Always frontin to the girls, how you can rock
But you leave out how you carpin to go the clock
we came hittin 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 of no return
To do a mc, who did not learn
Now when you're hot hot, and when you're not you're not
And when it comes to funky music, the two rock the
So next time you see me coolin, bite your lip and
Between me and you sonny, straight up, I'm like
I on the run tour, with flavor and chuck
Jazzy jeff and the fresh prince but I guess was luck
I did in crazy countries, like europe and france
Copenhagen, denmark, and
I even been to our country, that they call
Keep your eyes on girl, cause p'll be watchin around the
Tick tick'n, yo out p rippin
A new way to sway, brothers keep vickin
Flows and echoes, that exact
But you're rhymin in circles, and you sayin jack
So take it in stride, by the way I'm the same
First name is still parrish, sue's my girl, nuttin
You insist I act funny, but to blame?
It wasn't yo! mtv raps, the money, or soul
It was the .. "fame!"

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

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