Great stuff.  My favorite lines:
"And its about to get real wild in the half
You be buying evian just to take a fuckin bath."

and:
"Used to have minerals and zinc in it (new world water)
Now they say it got lead and stink in it (new world water)"

and
"Fuck a bank; I need a twenty-year water tank"

The poke at Johnny Cash did seem a bit gratuitous, though.

What ever happened to Mos Def? Did acting in Shaft wind up being a career-ending decision?

Victual Reality

Just came out with a new album, as a matter of fact. All his albums since BOBS have been a bit of a disappointment, IMO. But his acting career is alive and well. Smart guy.

although i did like this song, the message is off- it's knuckleheads in the rich countries who have plenty of cheap clean water from their taps who are destroying springs and wasting tons of energy to drink privatzied bottled water that is no better (or worse), while in the developing world where the public systems are failing and people are dying from lack of clean water that privatization can be a big part of the solution- the world is backwards....
