Nas - New World lyrics

[Intro] Uh, it's a new world, it's a new world It's a new world, it's a new world Uh, it's a new world, it's a new world [Verse 1:] Yo, celebrate the new life New ways to make money New ways to break dummies Forge they name and take money Computers ain't that smart Whatever man built could be taken apart Anything new can get old Like dudes started rockin' platinum, some stopped wearin gold Solar-energized rides, no steering wheel, tell it how to drive No propellers in the sky Airplanes like many rockets Waitin lists for the rich to get tickets to visit Mars While the poor people starve, computers takin over they jobs A man's forced to live off land Now it's back to the caveman era When we made fire, by two sticks rubbin together The truth is, many are too scared of new data America Online, cut off, see you later [Hook] 2x Yo, welcome to the new world, new beginnin A new way to play, a new way a livin Cash is the past, a new way a spendin New life for man, children, and women [Verse 2:] Yo, the new Mike Tyson's Roy Jones Bill Clinton's the new JFK, without the hole in his dome The new Don Trump is Bill Gates Not because his occupation, it's cause we respect his cake And cake mean his stock, net gross Young kids step it up, go for the most New cameras in police cars takin pictures New hustlas gettin new street figures And US emba**ies overseas Almost every foreign country's under seige Covertly startin wars, CIA, NAVY Seals Commit larcenies that be worth over mil's Oil in the earth spills Girls blow they body up, birth control pills African's pick diamonds out a dark caves Then we wear it on our necks just so we can light up the stage [Hook] [Verse 3:] Say goodbye to the brainwashed Say goodbye to the young kids who not smart Say goodbye to the toasters and Pop-Tarts Yo, it's real Swallow a little pill, there's a four-course meal Say hello to the one world Say hello to the sky, somethin's out there watchin you and I More enticin than Star Trek, StarTec phones Your genes and DNA is used to make clones You got CD-Rom, everythang operates by computers Then what happens when circuit breaks? Y2K's the big scare Scientists say we ain't prepared What I feel is contrare Alexander Graham Bell made telephones, yes But now we request for your e-mail address I might be old fashioned, stuck in my ways But nothin make me more happier than seein today [Hook]
