Mos Def - New World Water слова песни
[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 friendsNew World Water make the tide rise highCome inland and make your house go "Bye" (My house!)Fools done upset the Old Man RiverMade him carry slave ships and fed him dead niggaNow his belly full and he about to flood somethinSo I`ma throw a rope that ain`t tied to nothinTell your crew use the H2 in wise amounts sinceit`s the New World Water; and every drop countsYou can laugh and take it as a joke if you wannaBut it don`t rain for four weeks some summersAnd it`s about to get real wild in the halfYou be buying Evian just to take a fuckin bathHeads is acting wild, sippin poor, puffin dankCompetin with the next man for higher playin rankSee I ain`t got time try to be Big Hank, Fuck a bank; I need a twenty-year water tankCause while these knuckleheads is out here sweatin they goodsThe sun is sitting in the treetops burnin the woods And as the flames from the blaze get higher and higherThey 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 monoxidePush 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 seaMan, 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 greedyThe type of cats who pollute the whole shore lineHave it purified, sell it for a dollar twenty-fiveNow the world is drinkin itYour moms, wife, and baby girl is drinkin itUp north and down south is drinkin itYou should just have to go to your sink for itThe cash registers is goin "cha-chink!" for itFluorocarbons and monoxideGot the fish lookin cockeyedUsed to be free now it cost you a feeCause 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!
