Raise Up

This is David Nevermind

And today's controversy is coming from yet another member

(Aiyyo tell 'em that we not gon' be playin)

or should I say members of the hip-hop community:

(I'll blaze 'em niggaz)

Petey Pablo - a new artist signed under Jive

(Aiyyo look at my homeboys)

and has teamed up with Timbaland, outta V.A.

(We gonna blow this up)

In a quest to redeem his title

And bring, North Carolina, and Virginia, to the front of the line

(Yeah, we gon' do it)

We're gonna stand by

This one's for North Carolina! C'mon and raise up

Take your shirt off, twist it 'round yo head

Spin it like a helicopter

North Carolina! C'mon and raise up

This one's for you, uh-huh, this one's for who?

Us, us, us; yes sir!

Who am I? Petey Pab motherfucker!

First to put it down for North Carolina

But guess what (what?), it's been worth it

I'ma superstar, bought me a big ol' car

Four-point-six, seen it 'cause

Black with the bars on the front and back

and got a button in the middle, make the trunk go eh-eh

But it ain't 'bout that

It's about gettin whatchu gettin and drivin all back here

Big fellas (six fellas)

Half of me and Carolina niggaz, I'm tired of y'all

Polk, Bladen, Marshall, Hoke, Greene County, Timbaland, damn

Transfer, Sandy Ridge, Browns over here (greens over here)

Pasqoutank, down on the, Odom East (lemme think)

Johnson County, Franklin, Burgaw, Newport, Warren, Shelby, Kenansville

(Man Catawba) Tarboro, Triangle, Goldsboro, Halifax, Statesville

And all my niggaz doin life behind the wall

This right here, right here, right here's for

Uhh, uh-huh, uh-huh, beat it, beat it

You remember them days y'all, we used to play y'all

The radio and put our own lil part in the song y'all

We used to (Rep our city, rep our city!)

Runnin through the school halls

just before our basketball pep-rally jumped off (hah!)

My house, my home, my hood (hah!)

My brother, my sister, my cous' (hah!)

My niggaz that was there from the beginin

been wit me even 'fore they knew what bein with me was

Y'all niggaz just glanced at it, now I gotcha starin at it

Wouldn't been the same ol' North Carolina, it's been then

Y'all niggaz just gettin it, oh it's a shame isn't it?

Oh you thought we said we were comin wit a whole lotta songs

we were bullshhh! (ahh!)

Man I had to do it

just incase you were one of the ones who wanted to come and ask somethin stupid

(What you think you doin?) What it look like?

Puttin it down for my niggaz in the south side

North Carolina, South Carolina

And all my little bitty ova looked hick towns

We gonna hit y'all asses, ain't nothin but a T.D. blast

that we got comin atcha, (beat) slammin, (first) classic

(Go for this) What's after platinum?

(Baby you don't want the bomb) And I don't meant to scare ya

but I'm about to bring it home

Blow these fellas, these hills, these streets and N.C. out the water

How's it feel to look a mothafucka dead in the grill and tell 'em I told ya

Uhh, af-after seeing this

I, I have no other questions, I, I mean I

Hey look, this is David Nevermind

I'm signing off, but before I'm outta here

Remember, if I ever talked anything about the Polk guys, nevermind

North Carolina and V.A. are definitely at the front of the line

You have my vote of support, over and out
