"Blood In The Sink" est extrait de l'album 2 2 Karma paru en février 2018 et comme beaucoup d'autres titres de ce recueil (en écoute intégrale sur Youtube), il est proposé en collaboration avec d'autres artistes, ici Kojey Radical et Bangzy. Niveau images, on retrouve les MCs dans une vidéo en noir et blanc où un personnage féminin qui semble être au centre des textes (ou une personnification de ces derniers) prend une place toute particulière. Dans tous les cas, Foreign Beggars est toujours bel et bien présent sur la scène Hip-Hop mondiale, même après plus de vingt années de carrière et des collaborations très variées.
[Kojey Radical]
Tell me who do you turn to when you've lost your direction
Made a mind into weapon / Build the house on the stone
All the home are designed / Lemon seeds in the soil
Blood on the leaves / I see blood in the sink
And them bluff on the news
Migrant workers scared of migrant workers
Oh, lord, what have we come to
[Metropolis]
Tell me who do you see ?
Looking at the man in the mirror when it's crunch time
And this sick life hit a brother with a punchline
And you can't quite see the picture / Can you stand and deliver ?
Feeling you've been sold down the river
Feel it in you soul and you shiver, and the shit cuts deep
Digging in your bones in the winter
Written in these poems, you consider
Can we show who we be ? (Show who we be)
When the chips down, gotta stand up
When it's only round one and you're bleeding / Weight of a ton and you're breathing
All you gotta do is cry freedom / Boy you got that hella heaven try beating
Try screaming from the pits of your being, I need 'em
Back in my cage, rattling that which you chase
'Til you stand in this place
[Orifice Vulgatron]
Yeah, I spent a lot of time running
Front line, I was always top gunning (Top gun)
Top but I spent a lot of time fronting / Be invisible, can't nobody touch him
Ain't nobody fucking with the dog, that's a problem
Ain't nobody figure there's a problem (That's a problem)
Everybody always want a little something
Might as well put my body in a
I been trying to understand my role
What's the bigger picture for my soul ? (What's your purpose ?)
Lately I been thinking I could go (Go and jump then)
But then I start to think about my folks
Ain't everybody given situations with a gift (Yeah)
Alleviate pain with your vision and the scripts
Set aside yourself for a minute, get a grip
Ain't anybody ever gave a fuck about a bitch
[Kojey Radical]
I know denial is bad for my health / Embrace the chaos and learn it yourself
I can't expire and sit on the shelf / I have a goal and a story to tell
Hope they don't hate it, no fear in my tone / All of you see me when I'm in my zone
You are my people but I stand alone
I must be first on me
Tell me who do you turn to when you've lost your direction
Made a mind into weapon / Build the house on the stone
All the home are designed / Lemon seeds in the soil
Blood on the leaves / I see blood in the sink
And them bluff on the news
Migrant workers scared of migrant workers
Oh, lord, what have we come to
