New World
Black Nasa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 wearing gold
Solar-energized rides, no steering wheel, tell it how to drive
No propellers in the sky
Airplanes like many rockets
Waiting lists for the rich to get tickets to visit Mars
While the poor people starve, computers taking 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 rubbing together
The truth is, many are too scared of new data
America Online, cut off, see you later

[Chorus: x2]
Yo, welcome to the new world, new beginning
A new way to play, a new way a living
Cash is the past, a new way a spending
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 taking pictures
New hustlers getting new street figures
And US embassies overseas
Almost every foreign country's under siege
Covertly starting 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

[Chorus]

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 watching you and I
More enticing than Star Trek, StarTec 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 contrary
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 nothing make me more happier than seeing today





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

Black Nasa's song New World is a commentary on the state of the world and the advancements that have been made in recent years. The lyrics speak of various ways in which technology has progressed, and how new developments have led to a new way of thinking and living. The first verse speaks of how new ways to make money, forge identities, and take advantage of computers are constantly being discovered. However, the song warns that as much as we embrace the new, we must also be prepared for the old to become obsolete, be ready to adapt and that we must not forget our roots. The song touches on the inequality of wealth distribution and resources in the world, as well as the possibility of a dystopian future. The chorus suggests that the new world is a new beginning for all and we must embrace it while still cherishing what came before.


The second verse discusses various aspects that have become new, like new celebrities replacing old ones, new technology used in cars and cameras in policing, and clones are used to change the world. The song also highlights the ways in which politics, war, and resources are managed globally by the few. It is a scene of the world where the rich get richer and the poor keep getting poorer. The final verse points out that while technology has come a long way, it can break down, causing hysteria and panic. The song encourages listeners to hold on to their traditional values and embrace them with the same vigor and curiosity as they would to the new world.
