| 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, | |
| Move! |
