(专辑: Black On Both Sides - 1999)
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 niggas Now his belly full and he about to flood something So I'm throwing rope that ain't tied to nothing Tell your crew use the
H2 in wise amounts since 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 a
full week some summers And it's about to get real wild in the
half You be buying Evian just to take a
fucking bath Heads is acting wild, sipping poor, puffing dank Competing with the
next man for higher playing rank See I
ain't got time trying to be Big Hank Fuck a
bank; I
need a
twenty-year water tank 'Cause while these knuckleheads is out here sweating their goods The
sun is sitting in the
treetops, burning 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 drinking it (New World Water) Now all of California is drinking it (New World Water) Way up North and Down South is drinking 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

iron you steaming with (That's right) It's what they dress wounds and treat diseases with (Shout it out) The
