[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 Two: 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
Chorus
