[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 [bad word] . (YEAH, YEAH!)
You got to count your dub-plates (GHETTO, GHETTO, GHETTO)
before you touch the turntables (ALL HOODS!)
Cause if [bad word] out of big tunes
that means your sound is done (Y'ALL READY?)
 [bad word]  Kenny Rogers]

You got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em (soundbwoys)
Know when to walk away
Know when [bad word] . (hey, hey, hey, hey..)
You got to count your dub-plates
before you touch the turntables (DJ's)
Cause if [bad word] out of big tunes
that means your sound is done

[Pharoahe Monch]
Get the [bad word] up!
'Clef said, get the [bad word] 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 [bad word] pity the fool that
act  [bad word]  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
 [bad word] 

[Wyclef Jean]
C'mon, c'mon
(Get the [bad word] up!)
Soundbwoys ('Clef said, get the [bad word] up!)
(Now throw your hands in the sky) Yo [bad word] 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+
 [bad word] 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 [bad word] You got to count your dub-plates
before you touch the turntables (DJ's)
Cause if [bad word] out of big tunes
that means your sound is done
