New World Water

(专辑： Black On Both Sides - 1999)

There's nothing more refreshing (That cool refreshing drink)
Than a cool, crisp, clean glass of water
On a warm summer's day (That cool refreshing drink)
Try it with your friends

New World Water make the tide rise high
Come inland and make your house go "Bye" (My house!)
Fools done upset the Old Man River
Made him carry slave ships and fed him dead niggas
Now his belly full and he about to flood something
So I'm throwing rope that ain't tied to nothing
Tell your crew use the H2 in wise amounts since
The New World Water; and every drop counts
You can laugh and take it as a joke if you wanna
But it don't rain a full week some summers
And it's about to get real wild in the half
You be buying Evian just to take a fucking bath
Heads is acting wild, sipping poor, puffing dank
Competing with the next man for higher playing rank
See I ain't got time trying to be Big Hank
Fuck a bank; I need a twenty-year water tank
'Cause while these knuckleheads is out here sweating their goods
The sun is sitting in the treetops, burning the woods
And as the flames from the blaze get higher and higher
They say, "Don't drink the water! We need it for the fire!"

New York is drinking it (New World Water)
Now all of California is drinking it (New World Water)
Way up North and Down South is drinking it (New World Water)
Used to have minerals and zinc in it (New World Water)
Now they say it got lead and stink in it (New World Water)
Fluorocarbons and monoxide
Push the water table lopside
Used to be free, now it cost you a fee
'Cause oil tankers spill their load as they roam across the sea

Man, you gotta cook with it, bathe and clean with it (That's right)
When it's hot, summertime you fiend for it (Let 'em know)
You gotta put it in the iron you steaming with (That's right)
It's what they dress wounds and treat diseases with (Shout it out)
The rich and poor, black and white got need for it (That's right)
And everybody in the world can agree with this (Let 'em know)
Consumption promotes health and easiness (That's right)
Go too long without it on this earth and you leaving it (Shout it out)
Americans wasting it on some leisure shit (Say word?)
Another nation be desperately seeking it (Let 'em know)
Bacteria washing up on their beaches (Say word?)
Don't drink the water, son they can't wash their feet with it (Let 'em know)
Young babies in perpetual neediness (Say word?)
Epidemics hopping up off the petri dish (Let 'em know)
Control centers try to play it all secretive (Say word?)
To avoid public panic and freakiness (Let 'em know)
There are places where TB is common as TV
'Cause foreign-based companies go and get greedy
The type of cats who pollute the whole shore line
Have it purified, sell it for a dollar twenty-five

Now the world is drinking it (New World Water)
Your moms, wife, and baby girl is drinking it (New World Water)
Up North and Down South is drinking it (New World Water)
You should just have to go to your sink for it (New World Water)
The cash registers is going "cha-chink!" for it (New World Water)
Fluorocarbons and monoxide
Got the fish looking cockeyed
Used to be free, now it cost you a fee
'Cause it's all about getting that cash (Money)

Said it's all about getting that cash (Money)
Said it's all about getting that cash (Money)
Said it's all about getting that cash (Money)
Said it's all about getting that cash (Money)
Said it's all about getting that cash (Money)
Said it's all about getting that cash (Money)
Said it's all about getting that cash (Money)
Said it's all about getting that cash (Money)
Said it's all about getting that cash (Money)
Johnny Cash (Money)
Roseanne Cash (Money)
Give me cash (Money)
Cold cash (Money)
Cash rules everything around me
Move!
