[Wyclef Jean:]
|
Yo I'm happy to be in the South
|
To set off my tour in the countryside
|
But who better to set it off for me than this man right here
|
|
[Kenny Rogers:]
|
Yo this Kenny Rogers chillin on the country side
|
With men like Wyclef (uh-huh) Jerry Wonder (uh-huh)
|
Big Jack (mm-hmm) Big Beast (mm-hmm)
|
And we gon' do something like this for you
|
|
You got to know when to hold 'em (YEAH, YEAH!)
|
Know when to fold 'em (DJ's, DJ's!)
|
Know when to walk away (HIP-HOP, HIP-HOP!)
|
Know when to run... (YEAH, YEAH!)
|
You got to count your dub-plates (GHETTO, GHETTO, GHETTO)
|
Before you touch the turntables (ALL HOODS!)
|
Cause if you run out of big tunes
|
That means your sound is done (Y'ALL READY?)
|
|
[Chorus: Kenny Rogers]
|
You got to know when to hold 'em
|
Know when to fold 'em (soundbwoys)
|
Know when to walk away
|
Know when to run... (hey, hey, hey, hey...)
|
You got to count your dub-plates
|
Before you touch the turntables (DJ's)
|
Cause if you run out of big tunes
|
That means your sound is done
|
|
[Pharoahe Monch:]
|
Get the hell up!
|
'Clef said, get the hell up!
|
Now throw your hands in the sky (BO! BO! BO! BO!)
|
Brooklyn in the back shootin craps y'all whassup?
|
Ladies; lookin hot and pretty
|
Doin your thing in the club high saditty
|
WORLDWIDE - the gritty committee pity the fool that
|
Act {shitty} in the midst of the calm, the witty
|
(You got to know when to hold 'em...)
|
Y'all know the name!
|
Same assassin from before, but the beat just changed a little
|
(?) who flip flows
|
That got women in they thongs gettin on but not Sisqo
|
Select your squad team and your itch
|
Bey know my flow muy caliente, fuego
|
No disrespect to soundbwoy, but you better step away from me
|
Easily defeat measley MC's and tease you
|
Ease back squeeze two in your wig and breeze through
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Wyclef Jean:]
|
C'mon, c'mon
|
(Get the hell up!)
|
Soundbwoys ('Clef said, get the hell up!)
|
(Now throw your hands in the sky) Yo
|
This combination gon' bust from Brooklyn to Shanghai
|
Feel the boogie boogie Henny got me tipsy tipsy
|
Kenny Rogers and Pharoahe Monch? No way, this can't be
|
48 tracks, country meets rap
|
Put this on full blast, I'm about to break all formats
|
My destiny is to lead while y'all follow
|
This is (Showtime) and I'm (Live at the Apollo)
|
|
[Chorus 2: Kenny Rogers & Wyclef]
|
You got to know when to hold 'em (soundbwoys)
|
Know when to fold 'em (emcees)
|
Know when to walk away (yeah, yeah, yeah...)
|
Know when to run
|
You got to count your dub-plates
|
Before you touch the turntables (DJ's)
|
Cause if you run out of big tunes
|
That means your sound is done
|
