Raise Up Lyrics


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 VA
(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 your hand
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
North Carolina
C'mon and raise up
Take your shirt off, twist it 'round your hand
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'm a superstar, bought me a big ol' car
Four point six
(See the car)
Black with 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
This one's for North Carolina
C'mon and raise up
Take your shirt off, twist it 'round your hand
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
North Carolina
C'mon and raise up
Take your shirt off, twist it 'round your hand
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
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
But it's been the same ol' North Carolina it's been bein'
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 somethin'
We were bullshhh!
(Ahh!)
This one's for North Carolina
C'mon and raise up
Take your shirt off, twist it 'round your hand
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
North Carolina
C'mon and raise up
Take your shirt off, twist it 'round your hand
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
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 y'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"
This one's for North Carolina
C'mon and raise up
Take your shirt off, twist it 'round your hand
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
North Carolina
C'mon and raise up
Take your shirt off, twist it 'round your hand
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
Uh, 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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Moses Barrett III (born June 17, 1979 in Greenville, North Carolina), better known by his stage name Petey Pablo, is a rapper, actor and founder of CMG Records. He is best known for his hit singles Raise Up, Show Me The Money and Freek-a-Leek, and for being featured on Ciara's Billboard Hot 100 number one single Goodies. He released his debut album, Diary of a Sinner: 1st Entry, in 2001 and his sophomore effort, Still Writing in My Diary: 2nd Entry, in 2004. His highly aniticpated third album, A&R: Anticipated Recordings, is set to be released in January 2010 after a six year absence from the music scene.

Barrett left home aged 13 in 1992 and lived on the streets of Baltimore, and later Raleigh. He was originally signed to Death Row records, releasing only one track with Crooked I. His life on Death Row was short. Petey Pablo was arrested in Raleigh, North Carolina for armed robbery. He also lived in Pasquotank County, North Carolina. He spent six years in prison and on his release moved to New York City, where he met Black Rob and Busta Rhymes, and, according to legend, was signed by the A&R director of Jive Records after hearing him rapping in a club bathroom. After a few guest spots in 2000, his first solo single was "Raise Up" in 2001 at the age of 22, produced by Timbaland, followed by debut album Diary of a Sinner: 1st Entry the same year. "Raise Up" was helped by rotation on MTV and heavy play on urban radio, reaching #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping the Hot Rap Singles Chart. Noted for its "black" rhythm section, "Raise Up" borrows from Timbaland's preference for African-American instrumentation and helicopters. The release of his second album, Still Writing in My Diary: 2nd Entry, was delayed until 2004. Lead single from the album, the sexually-explicit "Freek-a-Leek" was another major success, reaching #7 in the Hot 100, although little chart success followed. Barrett currently resides in Wake Forest, North Carolina, where he is working under his own label: Carolina Music Group, or CMG. His new album, "A&R: Anticipated Recordings" hits stores in January 2010. The highly anticipated album comes after a six year absence from the music scene. Barrett is calling the album "phenomenal." Many singles are expected to come from this new record such as "Osama," "NC Wzup" and "Fire.
