Raise Up Lyrics - Diary Of A Sinner: 1st Entry - Petey Pablo

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 go get 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 

[Chorus 2X: Petey Pablo] 

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

Take your shirt off, twist it 'round yo' hand 

Spin it like a helicopter 

North Carolina! see'mon and raise up 

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

Us, us, us; yes sir! 

[Petey Pablo] 

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 (see the car!) 

Black wit the bars from the front to 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 done time together 

Polk, Bladen, Marshall, Hoke, Greene County, Tillery, 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 Currituck) Tarboro, Triangle, Goldsboro, Halifax, Statesville 

And all my niggaz doin life behind the wall 

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

[Chorus] 

[Petey Pablo] 

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

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

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

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

but it's been the same ol' North Carolina it's been bein 

why'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 somethin 

we were bullshhh! (ahh!) 

[Chorus] 

[Petey Pablo] 

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 bity overlooked hick towns 

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

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

(Gold 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 valleys, these hills, these streams and N.C. outta the water 

How's it feel to look a motherfucker dead in the grill 

and tell 'em - "I told ya!" 

[Chorus] 

[David Nevermind] 

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'm ever caught with anything I'm not supposed to have it's Nevermind 

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

You have my vote of support, over and out
