[Verse 1]
[Am]This is David Nev[G]ermind
[F]And today's controver[G]sy is coming
from yet [Am]another member
Or should I say [G]members of the hip-hop community (ay[F]o,
tell Fab we gon' get Playa)
(Nah, Playa's supposed to be [G]here) Petey Pablo,
a new artist [Am]signed under Jive
(Ayo, go get my homeboy) and has
[G]teamed up [F]with Timbaland out of [G]VA
In a quest to redeem his title
[Am](nah, we gonna blow this up)
And bring North Car[G]olina and Vir[F]ginia to the
front of the line [G](ayo)
(Yo, we gon' do it) we're
gonna stand by
This one's [Am]for North
