Warrior's Anthem

[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
