New world water lyrics by Mos def

Album: Black on both sides


Mos Def
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 nigga
Now his belly full and he about to flood somethin
So I'ma throw a rope that ain't tied to nothin
Tell your crew use the H2 in wise amounts since
it's 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 for four weeks some summers
And it's about to get real wild in the half
You be buying Evian just to take a fuckin bath
Heads is acting wild, sippin poor, puffin dank
Competin with the next man for higher playin rank
See I ain't got time try to be Big Hank,
Fuck a bank; I need a twenty-year water tank
Cause while these knuckleheads is out here sweatin they goods
The sun is sitting in the treetops burnin 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 drinkin it New World Water
Now all of California is drinkin it New World Water
Way up north and down south is drinkin 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 they load as they roam cross 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 steamin 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 leavin it Shout it out
Americans wastin it on some leisure shit Say word?
And other nations be desperately seekin it Let em know
Bacteria washing up on they beaches Say word?
Don't drink the water, son they can't wash they feet with it Let em know
Young babies in perpetual neediness Say word?
Epidemics hopppin 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 drinkin it
Your moms, wife, and baby girl is drinkin it
Up north and down south is drinkin it
You should just have to go to your sink for it
The cash registers is goin "cha-chink!" for it
Fluorocarbons and monoxide
Got the fish lookin cockeyed
Used to be free now it cost you a fee
Cause it's all about gettin that cash Money

Said it's all about gettin that cash Money (x9)
Johny cash Money
Roseland cash Money
Give me cash Money
Cold cash Money
Repeat to fade

Cash rules everything around me,
Move!
