As the sets the mood, it's time to let off
A sucker tried to play me, the e I'm not
I'm very hardcore, droppin bombs like
It me, back in 1984
When I went to a party the master plan
To step up, and put the mic in my
was there, from junior high to high schools
Dyin to get busy, because I I had the tools
I got the heart and went by the set
I said, "yo, I rock 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 made a record, and got
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
That used to me, when I was tryin to reach the
Tip tip-top and I won't
To be the master, in the of hip-hop
I did that, and got a for myself
The of e, and all of my wealth
I see my friends, but things ain't the same
Oh a shame, I diss em
Who to blame? it 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 yards
But when I told my college friends kicked back and laughed
Said, "you better grab your books and take your to class"
said, "you couldn't make a record and expect to get paid
Cause too many def rappers in the world today"
I said, "yo, my is m.d. and my style is def"
said, "your name is parrish son, you're like all the rest
Frontin you gettin a contract, but you 'fess"
But when you heard my playin, your mouth was wide open
Your head was tilted that you was almost chokin
But I just lounge, and cool the fellas
Like my roomie d-wade, top notch, and ellis
I never hung girls, only one and she was mellow
First name was terry, name romanello
My records started sellin p withdrew
From the college con, known as scsu
But when I often go and they say, "p bust 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 I always hear them whisper
"yo p's not the same, did you see him diss "
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, before you wasn't
Now you watch yo! mtv raps every
to see me, the e and the p
Coolin out on the scene, with fab 5
Back then you didn't know, I was determined
To be a def rapper with the erick sermon
To be a crowd mover, that cause trouble
Then I thought, and came up with e
I can't forget, how they to diss
Sayin he can't rap, because he talks with a
But I got paid, now you stupid
Amazed by the the sound and how we looped it
Now I clock g's, jewels, and star trims
Cool around town, and flex my benz
Definitely hooked up, with the system cranks
Livin well off, with the ? in the
Epmd, is parrish makin dollars
on tour, so you can call us roads/rhodes scholars
You saw me in eighty-seven, where 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!"

[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 large
To drop a def lp, and catch mc's off
Because my started buggin, we used to cool at the mall
But on the s.t., the sneak tip, they prayed for my
I to cruise by in my rock 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 with nine broke friends, you're bound to be the 10th one
So I cut my friends off, and p for self
Me and sermon, and no one else
Strictly writin def lyrics to my best
With the crazy as my only utility
Cause mc's around my way how def they are
But now workin full time, and sharin their mom's cars
Always frontin to the girls, how hard you can
But you leave out how you carpin to go the clock
Yeah we came hittin hard, so all the talkin had to
But blame 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 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 lip and respect
Between me and you sonny, up, I'm like 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, like and france
Copenhagen, denmark, and
I even been to our country, they call africa
Keep your eyes on girl, cause 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 ain't sayin
So it in stride, by the way I'm still the same
First name is 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!"

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