  • [erick sermon]
  • As the wind sets the mood, its time to let off
  • A sucker tried to play me, the e Im not soft
  • Im very hardcore, droppin bombs like warsaw
  • It reminds me, back in 1984
  • When I went to a party with the master plan
  • To step up, and put the mic in my hand
  • Everybody was there, from junior high to high schools
  • Dyin to get busy, because I knew I had the tools
  • Then I got the heart and went by the set
  • I said, yo, I wanna rock the set yeah no sweat
  • Kickin rhymes in the place, people couldnt take it
  • The style I flowed, the way I shaked and baked it
  • Later on I made a record, and got recognition
  • Everybodys jockin, now nobodys dissin
  • Written and produced by the new rap duo
  • Yes epmd, now Im known in school
  • I see the backstabbers, and the elderly creature features
  • That used to diss me, when I was tryin to reach the
  • Tip tip-top and I wont stop
  • To be the master, in the field of hip-hop
  • I did that, and got a name for myself
  • The image of e, and all of my wealth
  • I see my fake friends, but things aint the same
  • Oh what a shame, I diss em
  • Who to blame? it wasnt me it was the .. fame!
  • [p] it wasnt me it was the .. fame!
  • [parrish smith]
  • Before I cut records I had dreams of livin large
  • Earnin crazy cash flow, the whole nine yards
  • But when I told my college friends they kicked back and laughed
  • Said, you better grab your books and take your behind to class
  • They said, you couldnt make a record and expect to get paid
  • Cause theres too many def rappers in the world today
  • I said, yo, my name is m.d. and my style is def
  • They said, your name is parrish son, youre like all the rest
  • Frontin you gettin a contract, but then you fess
  • But when you heard my record playin, your mouth was wide open
  • Your head was tilted back that you was almost chokin
  • But I just lounge, and cool with the fellas
  • Like my roomie d-wade, top notch, and james ellis
  • I never hung with girls, only one and she was mellow
  • First name was terry, last name romanello
  • My records started sellin then p withdrew
  • From the college southern con, known as scsu
  • But when I often go and visit they say, p bust a rhyme
  • I shake my head and then chuckle, and throw up the peace sign
  • They wanna feel my gold and sport my rolex
  • But p reply its really nothin, and dont like to flex
  • And when I step up on the scene I always hear them whisper
  • Yo ps not the same, did you see him diss you?
  • I go deep into my thoughts, then I questioned my brain
  • It wasnt me, the money, or the fortune, it was the .. fame!
  • [p] it wasnt me it was the .. fame!
  • [erick sermon]
  • Oh!
  • Now you wanna know me, before you wasnt speakin
  • Now you watch yo! mtv raps every weekend
  • Just to see me, the e and the p
  • Coolin out on the scene, with fab 5 freddy
  • Back then you didnt know, that I was determined
  • To be a def rapper with the name erick sermon
  • To be a crowd mover, someone that cause trouble
  • Then I thought, and came up with e double
  • I cant forget, how they used to diss
  • Sayin he cant rap, because he talks with a lisp
  • But I got paid, now you feel stupid
  • Amazed by the style the sound and how we looped it
  • Now I clock gs, trunk jewels, and star trims
  • Cool around town, and flex my black benz
  • Definitely hooked up, with the system that cranks
  • Livin well off, with the ? in the bank
  • Epmd, is erick parrish makin dollars
  • Always on tour, so you can call us roads/rhodes scholars
  • You saw me in eighty-seven, where have you been because we miss you
  • I dismissed you, it wasnt me who dissed you, it was the .. fame!
  • [e] it wasnt me it was the .. fame!
  • [parrish smith]
  • As I freak a funky style, to a funky fresh rhythm
  • I use my crazy def talent, that God has given
  • Me to flow slow, and still live large
  • To drop a def lp, and catch mcs off guard
  • Because my friends started buggin, we used to cool at the mall
  • But on the s.t., the sneak tip, they prayed for my downfall
  • I used to cruise by in my rock and always hear them mumble
  • They got lucky on strictly biz but watch the next one crumble
  • My father always told me to wisen up son
  • Cause if you hung with nine broke friends, youre bound to be the 10th one
  • So I cut my friends off, and p went for self
  • Me and erick sermon, and no one else
  • Strictly writin def lyrics to my best ability
  • With the crazy imagination as my only utility
  • Cause mcs around my way brag how def they are
  • But now they workin full time, and sharin their moms cars
  • Always frontin to the girls, how hard you can rock
  • But you leave out how you carpin to go punch the clock
  • Yeah we came hittin hard, so all the talkin had to halt
  • But dont blame us, blame god, its his fault
  • For assistin us on the mission of a point of no return
  • To do a crab mc, who did not learn
  • Now when youre hot youre hot, and when youre not youre not
  • And when it comes to funky music, the two rock the spot
  • So next time you see me coolin, bite your lip and respect
  • Between me and you sonny, straight up, Im like death
  • I cooled on the run tour, with flavor and chuck
  • Jazzy jeff and the fresh prince but I guess that was luck
  • I did shows in crazy countries, like europe and france
  • Copenhagen, denmark, and amsterdam
  • I even been to our country, that they call africa
  • Keep your eyes on your girl, cause pll be watchin around the
  • Tick tickn, yo check out p rippin
  • A new way to sway, cause brothers keep vickin
  • Flows and echoes, that sound exact
  • But youre rhymin in circles, and you aint sayin jack
  • So take it in stride, by the way Im still the same
  • First name is still parrish, sues my girl, nuttin changed
  • You insist I act funny, but whos to blame?
  • It wasnt yo! mtv raps, the money, or soul train
  • It was the .. fame!
  • [p] it wasnt me it was the .. fame!
  • * dj k. la boss cuts up fame! *
  • [erick and parrish talk to outro]
