New World - Nas

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

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 steerin' 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

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

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

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 embassies overseas

Almost every foreign country’s under siege

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

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

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, something’s out there watchin' you and I

More enticin' than Star Trek, StarTAC phones

Your genes and DNA is used to make clones

You got CD-Rom, everything 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

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
