[Petey Pablo: Talking]
Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to present to you today
The new album from Petey Pablo, Still Writing in My Diary: The 2nd Entry
The boy hot now; he been gone for a little while, had a little vacation, enjoyin` life
But that`s what you`re supposed to do when you get there: enjoy your life
Y`naw`mean, `cause this ain`t promised to us tomorrow, we can lose this shit tonight
Ya understand what I`m sayin`
but this young man that I`m bringin` before you today, has done it all
He`s been at the lowest of the low, he`s been at the top of the world
And he still remains grounded, that`s a trill nigga, street cat
A fine young man, and I`m very proud to
be able to say that I even know the young fellow
But without further ado, because I know you`ve been waitin`
Still writin` in his diary, the 2nd entry
My mama said, Can you give her 3 dollars for a 5 dollar book of food stamps
so she can get her some cigarettes? (laughs)
Ya see, I go through some shit called voice exercisin`
When I go in the booth, and I go in there
and I just lay a hook now `n then, know what I`m sayin`
Like this shit right here
[Chorus: Repeat 2x]
Time to take them shirts off again (put `em back up in the air)
Represent, represent (put `em back up in the air)
I really need you to mean it, mean it, mean it (put `em back up in the air)
Start up that South shit again (put `em back up in the air)
[Petey Pablo]
What you want this time, more fire?
Your problem, I got it (I got it)
Y`all better be ready to call the motherfuckin` firetruck
to come up in this bitch an` put me out (yeah, yeah)
Petey Pab, back in the house, puttin` it down (I brought this fire, baby)
Stronger than we`ve ever been baby boy
y`all in trouble now (now now now now now now)
If y`all ain`t ready (ready), better find your door
it`s time to go and y`all gotta get out
All up in the wheels and under your heels
and let the best thing to roll you out
If you been there, I ain`t got to talk to you about it
It don`t get more gangsta, gangsta than it gets in this South
[Chorus: Repeat 2x]
[Petey Pablo]
Got another rake, got another lawn mower, got another hoe
A brand new weed wacker, with diamonds on the top where you hold
Got a water hose, anything you want it up on
Carolina (?) painted float to go with my post
I be out there in that water `round them rich white folks
And caught me fishin`, but guess what, dog, I look good in that boat
I`m just as country as the day I was born, I love it
Change my name for me (Mmmmmm mmmmmm P-P-Petey Pablo, ?)
Bob your head, get your thang off, show yourself
Look around ya boy, if that ain`t there the South at its best
We run this shit here, all this shit here, nigga, look at me man
Your Jack ain`t why you should be worried, it`s the Ace in my hand
[Chorus: Repeat 2x]
[Petey Pablo]
I`m sellin this song out to everybody that took the time when I ain`t got my shit
Record store, bootleg, under hung and everywhere that my CD is at
I take my hat off, if it weren`t for y`all, I wouldn`t be nothin` at all
And Carolina would still be two states, y`all motherfuckers used this to drive across
Do you see anything on my goddamn face that look like I`m playin`?
Have I said anything tonight, that y`all motherfuckin` niggaz ain`t understand?
That I leave when I had a reason, talk to me man!
Naw I stayed, `cause this where I was born and raised
(And I) I swear on everything I love
I`ma do my best to keep doin` it for us
And I don`t need a gold on a black to black
just some down at home country love (country love)
I don`t ask for much (huuuuuh huuuuhhh)
that`s enough to keep my heart in the court (huuuuuh huuuuhhh)
Tell the truth, it`s really messin` me up
to see all y`all niggaz still raisin` up (ooooooooooh)
[Chorus: Repeat 2x]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) Put `em back up in the air
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) (Repeat 4x)
[Chorus: Repeat 2x]
