Kenny Rogers - Pharoahe Monch Dub Plate Lyrics

Yo, Im 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
Yo, this Kenny Rogers chillin' on the country side
With men like Wyclef, Jerry Wonder, Big Jack, Big Beast
And we gon do something like this for youYou got to know when to hold em
(Yeah, yeah!)
Know when to fold em
(DJs, DJs!)
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

(Yall ready?)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
(DJs)
'Cause if you run out of big tunes
That means your sound is doneGet the Hell up! Clef said, Get the Hell up!
Now throw your hands in the sky
Brooklyn in the back shootin' craps yall whassup?
Ladies, lookin' hot and pretty
Doin' your thing in the club high saditty
Worldwide the gritty committee pity the fool that
Act in the midst of the calm, the witty(You got to know when to hold em)

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

No disrespect to soundbwoy, but you better step away from me
Easily defeat measley MCs and tease you
Ease back squeeze two in your wig and breeze throughYou got to know when to hold em
