It Wasn't Me It Was The Fame - EPMD[00:00:00]

As the wind sets the mood it's time to let off[00:00:11]

A sucker tried to play me the e I'm not soft[00:00:14]

I'm very hardcore droppin bombs like warsaw[00:00:17]

It reminds me back in 1984[00:00:19]

When I went to a party with the master plan[00:00:22]

To step up and put the mic in my hand[00:00:25]

Everybody was there from junior high to high schools[00:00:27]

Dyin to get busy because I knew I had the tools[00:00:30]

Then I got the heart and went by the set[00:00:33]

I said "yo I wanna rock the set""yeah no sweat"[00:00:35]

Kickin rhymes in the place people couldn't take it[00:00:38]

The style I flowed the way I shaked and baked it[00:00:41]

Later on I made a record and got recognition[00:00:44]

Everybody's jockin now nobody's dissin[00:00:47]

Written and produced by the new rap duo[00:00:49]

Yes epmd now I'm known in school[00:00:52]

I see the backstabbers and the elderly creature features[00:00:55]

That used to diss me when I was tryin to reach the[00:00:57]

Tip tip-top and I won't stop[00:01:01]

To be the master in the field of hip-hop[00:01:03]

I did that and got a name for myself[00:01:06]

The image of e and all of my wealth[00:01:09]

I see my fake friends but things ain't the same[00:01:11]

Oh what a shame I diss em[00:01:14]

Who to blame it wasn't me it was the "fame "[00:01:15]

It wasn't me it was the "fame "[00:01:21]

Before I cut records I had dreams of livin large[00:01:28]

Earnin crazy cash flow the whole nine yards[00:01:30]

But when I told my college friends they kicked back and laughed[00:01:33]

Said "you better grab your books and take your behind to class"[00:01:36]

They said "you couldn't make a record and expect to get paid[00:01:38]

Cause there's too many def rappers in the world today"[00:01:41]

I said "yo my name is m d and my style is def"[00:01:44]

They said "your name is parrish son you're like all the rest[00:01:47]

Frontin you gettin a contract but then you 'fess"[00:01:50]

But when you heard my record playin your mouth was wide open[00:01:52]

Your head was tilted back that you was almost chokin[00:01:55]

But I just lounge and cool with the fellas[00:01:58]

Like my roomie d-wade top notch and james ellis[00:02:00]

I never hung with girls only one and she was mellow[00:02:03]

First name was terry last name romanello[00:02:06]

My records started sellin then p withdrew[00:02:09]

From the college southern con known as scsu[00:02:11]

But when I often go and visit they say "p bust a rhyme"[00:02:14]

I shake my head and then chuckle and throw up the peace sign[00:02:17]

They wanna feel my gold and sport my rolex[00:02:20]

But p reply it's really nothin and don't like to flex[00:02:22]

And when I step up on the scene I always hear them whisper[00:02:25]

"yo p's not the same did you see him diss you "[00:02:28]

I go deep into my thoughts then I questioned my brain[00:02:31]

It wasn't me the money or the fortune it was the "fame "[00:02:33]

It wasn't me it was the "fame "[00:02:41]

Oh [00:02:46]

Now you wanna know me before you wasn't speakin[00:02:47]

Now you watch yo mtv raps every weekend[00:02:50]

Just to see me the e and the p[00:02:53]

Coolin out on the scene with fab 5 freddy[00:02:55]

Back then you didn't know that I was determined[00:02:58]

To be a def rapper with the name erick sermon[00:03:01]

To be a crowd mover someone that cause trouble[00:03:04]

Then I thought and came up with e double[00:03:06]

I can't forget how they used to diss[00:03:09]

Sayin he can't rap because he talks with a lisp[00:03:12]

But I got paid now you feel stupid[00:03:14]

Amazed by the style the sound and how we looped it[00:03:17]

Now I clock g's trunk jewels and star trims[00:03:20]

Cool around town and flex my black benz[00:03:23]

Definitely hooked up with the system that cranks[00:03:25]

Livin well off with the in the bank[00:03:28]

Epmd is erick parrish makin dollars[00:03:32]

Always on tour so you can call us roads/rhodes scholars[00:03:34]

You saw me in eighty-seven where have you been because we miss you[00:03:37]

I dismissed you it wasn't me who dissed you it was the "fame "[00:03:39]

It wasn't me it was the "fame "[00:03:46]

As I freak a funky style to a funky fresh rhythm[00:03:53]

I use my crazy def talent that God has given[00:03:55]

Me to flow slow and still live large[00:03:58]

To drop a def lp and catch mc's off guard[00:04:01]

Because my friends started buggin we used to cool at the mall[00:04:03]

But on the s t the sneak tip they prayed for my downfall[00:04:06]

I used to cruise by in my rock and always hear them mumble[00:04:09]

"they got lucky on strictly biz but watch the next one crumble"[00:04:12]

My father always told me to wisen up son[00:04:15]

Cause if you hung with nine broke friends [00:04:17]

You're bound to be the 10th one[00:04:19]

So I cut my friends off and p went for self[00:04:20]

Me and erick sermon and no one else[00:04:23]

Strictly writin def lyrics to my best ability[00:04:26]

With the crazy imagination as my only utility[00:04:28]

Cause mc's around my way brag how def they are[00:04:31]

But now they workin full time and sharin their mom's cars[00:04:34]

Always frontin to the girls how hard you can rock[00:04:37]

But you leave out how you carpin to go punch the clock[00:04:39]

Yeah we came hittin hard so all the talkin had to halt[00:04:42]

But don't blame us blame god it's his fault[00:04:45]

For assistin us on the mission of a point of no return[00:04:47]

To do a crab mc who did not learn[00:04:50]

Now when you're hot you're hot and when you're not you're not[00:04:53]

And when it comes to funky music the two rock the spot[00:04:56]

So next time you see me coolin bite your lip and respect[00:04:58]

Between me and you sonny straight up I'm like death[00:05:01]

I cooled on the run tour with flavor and chuck[00:05:04]

Jazzy jeff and the fresh prince but I guess that was luck[00:05:06]

I did shows in crazy countries like europe and france[00:05:09]

Copenhagen denmark and amsterdam[00:05:12]

I even been to our country that they call africa[00:05:15]

Keep your eyes on your girl cause p'll be watchin around the[00:05:17]

Tick tick'n yo check out p rippin[00:05:21]

A new way to sway cause brothers keep vickin[00:05:23]

Flows and echoes that sound exact[00:05:26]

But you're rhymin in circles and you ain't sayin jack[00:05:28]

So take it in stride by the way I'm still the same[00:05:31]

First name is still parrish sue's my girl nuttin changed[00:05:34]

You insist I act funny but who's to blame [00:05:37]

It wasn't yo mtv raps the money or soul train[00:05:39]

It was the "fame "[00:05:42]

It wasn't me it was the "fame "[00:05:47]
