It Wasn't Me It Was The Fame - EPMD
As the wind sets the mood it's time to let off
A sucker tried to play me the e I'm not soft
I'm 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 couldn't take it
The style I flowed the way I shaked and baked it
Later on I made a record and got recognition
Everybody's jockin now nobody's dissin
Written and produced by the new rap duo
Yes epmd now I'm 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 won't 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 ain't the same
Oh what a shame I diss em
Who to blame it wasn't me it was the "fame "
It wasn't me it was the "fame "
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 couldn't make a record and expect to get paid
Cause there's 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 you're 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 it's really nothin and don't like to flex
And when I step up on the scene I always hear them whisper
"yo p's not the same did you see him diss you "
I go deep into my thoughts then I questioned my brain
It wasn't me the money or the fortune it was the "fame "
It wasn't me it was the "fame "
Oh
Now you wanna know me before you wasn't 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 didn't 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 can't forget how they used to diss
Sayin he can't 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 g's 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 wasn't me who dissed you it was the "fame "
It wasn't me it was the "fame "
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 mc's 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
