This song is a heavy metaphor for a fame and fortune being described as a woman. In a deeper sense, that fame and fortune all began with the mic, who was wearing 'silver and onyx'.

Story behind the song
Another awesome sample by Don Lorenzo, Jerazik couldn't help but freestyle to this beat, coming up with the chorus to "Miss Fame & Fortune." Once again trying his lower register for his voice while delivering this (similar to "Lie With Me"), Jerazik spits about his lady, Miss Fame & Fortune.

Jerazik - Miss Fame & Fortune
------------------------------------
[Chorus]
Yeah, goin' out's your thing /
And I know we could go to a bar and get a drink /
There's a feelin' of a attraction within these closed captions /
Cameras, lights, places, action /
Baby girl you are star /
And I ain't gotta tell you that you're gonna get far /
Cuz if you, stick with me, you can be my girl /
And yeah, you and me, we can tour the world /
Ms Fame & Fortune. Ms Fame & Fortune. Ms Fame & Fortune. Ms Fame & Fortune...
[Verse One]
It was a, hot night maybe after the grammy's /
I see this fly chick and yeah, she lookin' at me /
She kinda happy, and after the clapping /
She wipes her mouth with a twenty as her napkin /
It threw me off so I thought she was rich /
A second thought later and I wanted to spit /
A little bit of game but I knew for a fact /
That I couldn't end up with a lady like that /
Rich and famous, a life full of elegance /
The good life and I are almost irrelavent /
So I gave her one look and I started to walk /
Then I turned around and she wanted to talk /
She was wearin' silver and onyx /
Hair tied up with eyes of a goddess /
Her perfume was the fragrance of promise /
So beautiful, just to be honest /
[Chorus]
Yeah, goin' out's your thing /
And I know we could go to a bar and get a drink /
There's a feelin' of a attraction within these closed captions /
Cameras, lights, places, action /
Baby girl you are star /
And I ain't gotta tell you that you're gonna get far /
Cuz if you, stick with me, you can be my girl /
And yeah, you and me, we can tour the world /
Ms Fame & Fortune. Ms Fame & Fortune. Ms Fame & Fortune. Ms Fame & Fortune...
[Verse Two]
Let's be serious, I don't think we lastin' /
Probably for the first she feelin' this passion /
I'm sittin' here, I could only imagine /
When Princess Jasmine was feelin' Aladdin /
The only difference, I ain't got a genie /
Can't be a prince, so I only got be me /
Black jeans, white tee and a beanie /
I ain't even feelin' this martini /
But I'm feelin' this girl /
And I can tell that she's been all over the world /
So what's the damn point of bein' with her /
Cuz gettin' with a poor man's really absurd /
I'd probably bring her down my own aparatus /
Or maybe worse I could ruin her status /
But instead I'm right by her side /
On the red carpet with the flashing lights /
[Chorus]
Yeah, goin' out's your thing /
And I know we could go to a bar and get a drink /
There's a feelin' of a attraction within these closed captions /
Cameras, lights, places, action /
Baby girl you are star /
And I ain't gotta tell you that you're gonna get far /
Cuz if you, stick with me, you can be my girl /
And yeah, you and me, we can tour the world /
Ms Fame & Fortune. Ms Fame & Fortune. Ms Fame & Fortune. Ms Fame & Fortune...
[Verse Three]
From the, first time that I met my lady /
I took her in my hands and she called me baby /
I put her to my lips and I started to spit /
And from that moment on our love got crazy /
Me and her on the stage every night /
We'd always be together and naw, we don't fight /
In harmony as one like a student and teacher /
I'm speakin' through her lips, vibratin' the speakers /
And if you don't understand /
The girl that I speak of is the mic in my hand /
And damn, I'm just spittin' raps and show tunes /
Shortie right here's Ms. Fame & Fortune /
She with me nonstop, every show that I rock /
And she the one that got me top /
Truth be told, that every single day /
She callin' me J-E-R-A-Z-I-K /
[Chorus]
Yeah, goin' out's your thing /
And I know we could go to a bar and get a drink /
There's a feelin' of a attraction within these closed captions /
Cameras, lights, places, action /
Baby girl you are star /
And I ain't gotta tell you that you're gonna get far /
Cuz if you, stick with me, you can be my girl /
A
