Riff: Carnage – “Waterworld” feat. Migos

Apr 16, 2018

Sing like Mariah (sing)/Too much water, need fire (too much water, need fire)/Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah/All this water on this ice (all this water on this ice)

from Waterworld lyrics by Carnage

Not the crappy Kevin Costner movie from ’95, but an iced out jam celebrating the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Migos is the point of contact, and in typical fashion they glorify money as if it were gospel. They are dedicating themselves to it, and acknowledging how hard they had to grind to get to where they’re at. It’s an anthem that gives them the fuel they need to proceed with their conquests, a sonic energy drink that’ll have them juking around their competition in no time. The beat is explosive and a banger that’ll have the club shaking like an earthquake. Another massive club hit in the making from one of the most celebrated rap groups around.
