《It Wasn’t Me， It Was The Fame(Explicit)》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:46] Oh

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:05:12] Copenhagen denmark and amsterdam

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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