Raise Up (All Cities Remix)

(album: Diary Of A Sinner: 1st Entry - 2001)

This is David Nevermind
And today's controversy is coming from yet another member
or should I say members of the hip-hop community.
Petey Pablo a new artist signed under
Jive has teamed up with Timbaland, outta V.A.
In a quest to redeem his title And
bring, North Carolina, and Virginia, to the front of the line.
We're gonna stand by

[Chorus]

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. South Carolina!C'mon and raise up
This one's for you, uh-huh, this one's for who?
Us, us, us; yes sir!

Blow these fellas, these hills, these things and N.C. out the water
How's it feel to lose to motherfucker that be real
Now tell 'em "I told ya!"

[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 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
