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 in and
it'll 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
til 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, but how
your playa 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)
Four carbons and monoxide
Push the water table lopside
Used to be free now it
cost you a fee
Cause all things fully loaded 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 out0
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)
Assumption 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 and professional 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 just have to go to your sink for it
The cash registers
is goin to chink for it
Four carbons 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,
