My destiny is to lead while y’all follow
(Get the Hell up!)
Know when to walk away
Know when to run..
Kenny Rogers and Pharoahe Monch? No way, this can’t be!
(Soundbwoys)
Bey know my flow Muy Caliente, Fuego
'Cause if you run out of big tunes
Brooklyn in the back shootin' craps y’all whassup?
Know when to walk away
(DJ’s)
No disrespect to soundbwoy, but you better step away from me
Know when to walk away
(Yeah, yeah!)
Ease back squeeze two in your wig and breeze through
Feel the boogie boogie Henny got me tipsy tipsy
Put this on full blast, I’m about to break all formats
Get the Hell up! ’Clef said, “Get the Hell up!”
This is show time and I’m live at the Apollo
Before you touch the turntables
Yo, this Kenny Rogers chillin' on the country side
(You got to know when to hold ’em)
Before you touch the turntables
You got to know when to hold ’em
That means your sound is done
(’Clef said, “Get the Hell up!”)
That means your sound is done
You got to know when to hold ’em
Know when to fold ’em
And we gon’ do something like this for you
Yo
Know when to fold ’em
C’mon, c’mon
(Soundbwoys)
Know when to fold ’em
This combination gon’ bust from Brooklyn to Shanghai
You got to know when to hold ’em
Act in the midst of the calm, the witty
Know when to fold ’em
'Cause if you run out of big tunes
'Cause if you run out of big tunes
(Soundbwoys)
(Soundbwoys)
(MC's)
(Ghetto, ghetto, ghetto)
'Cause if you run out of big tunes
You got to count your dub-plates
Easily defeat measley MC’s and tease you
Know when to run
'Cause if you run out of big tunes
That means your sound is done
You got to count your dub-plates
Know when to run
Doin' your thing in the club high saditty
(Yeah, yeah!)
48 tracks, country meets rap
You got to count your dub-plates
You got to know when to hold ’em
That got women in they thongs gettin' on but not Sisqo
But the beat just changed a little who flip flows
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
You got to know when to hold ’em
Select your squad team and your itch
Before you touch the turntables
(DJ’s)

That means your sound is done
Before you touch the turntables
Know when to fold ’em

With men like Wyclef, Jerry Wonder, Big Jack, Big Beast
Before you touch the turntables
