0:00New World Water - Mos Def
0:05There's nothing more refreshing
0:07That cool refreshing drink
0:09Crisp clean glass of water
0:11On a warm Summer's day
0:14That cool refreshing drink
0:16Try it with your friends
0:19New world water make the tide rise high
0:21Come Inland and make your house go bye
0:24Fools done upset the old man river
0:26Made him carry slave ships and fed him dead n***a
0:29Now his belly full and he about to flood somethin'
0:31So I'mma throw a rope that ain't tied to nothin'
0:33Tell your crew use the H2 in wise amounts since
0:36It's the new world water and every drop counts
0:38You can laugh and take it as a joke if you wanna
0:40But it don't rain a full week some Summers
0:43And it's about to get real wild in the half
0:45You be buying evian just to take a f**kin' bath
0:48Heads is acting wild sippin' poor puffin' dank
0:50Competin with the next man for higher playin' rank
0:52See I ain't got time try to be big hank
0:55F**k a bank I need a twenty-year water tank
0:57'Cause while these knuckleheads
0:58Is out here sweatin they goods
0:59The sun is sitting in the treetops burnin' the woods
1:02And as the flames from the blaze get higher and higher
1:04They say don't drink the water
1:06We need it for the fire
1:07New York is drinkin' it
1:08New world water
1:09Now all of California is drinkin' it
1:11New world water
1:11Way up north and down south is drinkin' it
1:13New world water
1:14Used to have minerals and zinc in it
1:15New world water
1:16Now they say it got lead and stink in it
1:18New world water
1:18Fluorocarbons and monoxide
1:20Push the water table lopside
1:21Used to be free now it cost you a fee
1:23'Cause oil tankers spill they
1:24Load as they roam 'cross the sea
1:26Man you gotta cook with it
1:27Bathe and clean with it
1:28That's right
1:29When it's hot Summertime you fiend for it
1:31Let 'em know
1:31You gotta put it in the iron you steamin' with
1:33That's right
1:33It's what they dress wounds and treat diseases with
1:35Shout it out
1:36The rich and poor black and white got need for it
1:38That's right
1:38And everybody in the world can agree with this
1:40Let 'em know
1:41Consumption promotes health and easiness
1:42That's right
1:43Go too long without it on this earth and you leavin' it

1:48And other nations be desperately seekin it
1:50Let 'em know
1:50Bacteria washing up on they beaches
1:52Say word
1:53Don't drink the water

1:58Epidemics hopppin up off the petri dish
1:59Let 'em know
2:00Control centers try to play it all secretive
2:02Say word
2:02To avoid public panic and freakiness
2:04There are places where TB is common as TV
2:07'Cause foreign-based companies go and get greedy
2:09The type of cats who pollute the whole shore line
2:11Have it purified sell it for a dollar twenty-five
2:14Now the world is drinkin' it
2:16Your moms wife and baby girl is drinkin' it
