This is David Nevermind

And today’s controversy is coming from yet another member

(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 This one’s for North Carolina!

C’mon and raise up Take your shirt off, twist it 'round yo’hand

Spin it like a helicopter
