Face In The Basin
Dream Warriors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my sink
You wash your face in my sink
In my sink (sink)
You wash your face in my sink
In my sink (sink)
You wash your face in my sink
Revealed if possible like a walk in a mind field
Sadly, you get up to bat and take a swing thing
Should I
Shouldn't I try?
Too late
You sunk into the sink that I wash my face
You wash your face in my sink
In my sink
Tougher
That's what I'm getting
I'm getting rougher
And you beat me?
Suffer
The attempt of an attempt well tried
Well your side tried
But my side will never be denied
'Cause I'm swinging it stinging neglection
With an injection of truth
I've come to untwist the twisted youth
How does it feel now that I've got you all to think?
Yeah, and wash your face in my sink
You wash your face in my sink
Here I go I here I go I here I go again
I have a little place to send a little false friend
Who tried to mess me up with little negative thoughts
A little negative taught
Me to never ever leave my fame into the hands of incompetence
That makes sense
So now I change the tune for the tune allows changes
For you to take a breath while your brain rearranges
What I just spoke into a language called speech
You try to catch it but you just can't reach
For you leave a ring around the basin
When you wash your face in
In my sink
You wash your face in my sink
Now the basin is clean to the gleam of the eye
You constantly lie "when dove's cry"
Out that you are not about what you say
The image of the field you reveal and portray
For never ever will I fall fall to the effects of bandwagonism
So please listen
Up not down
For down is the devil
So roll like a boulder and not like a pebble
You roll like a rock, you roll like a rebel
For this is pure pain
Pick ax and a shovel
Hear no command
Hear just warning
If you wake up in the morning
And wash your face in my sink
You wash your face in my sink
Swing on the grounds of the play ground
The wire to the amp to improve the sound
I mean give me an M-I-see that is clean
And witness the warriors of the dream
For the bigger the orange
Is the bigger the peel
Thieves who steal
Get a wheel for real
A spin to infin or until I give a pardon
Me, I never promised you a rose garden
Or nourishment just punishment for a fink
Who thinks he can wash his face in our sink
You wash your face in my sink
Open up the door
Step across the wet floor
You can make it
You can tape it
This rhyme forevermore
Peer into the drain as the water goes down
Why do you frown is the end of the sound
But bring back the rhyme
For the rhyme is evaporated
And all of the sucker MCs
To the Jones is saying
They would
They could
They think
But never ever never dare try
To wash their face in my sink
The song "Wash Your Face In My Sink" by Dream Warriors is a rap song with a message about empowerment and standing up for one's self.

The second verse describes a situation where the singer has been wronged by a false friend but has the confidence to change his tune and use language to turn the situation around.

Overall, the song encourages listeners to be confident, independent thinkers who take ownership of their lives and rise above negativity and manipulation. The repetition of the phrase "You wash your face in my sink" serves as a powerful reminder to listeners that they have control over their own lives and should take action to make positive changes.

(repeat of previous chorus)
Swing on the grounds of the play ground
This is a playful and fun image of confidently taking action
The wire to the amp to improve the sound
Making small adjustments can have a big impact
I mean give me an M-I-see that is clean
I want clarity and precision in my messages
And witness the warriors of the dream
By being clear and focused, I can inspire and empower others to achieve their dreams
For the bigger the orange
The more effort and resources you invest, the greater the reward
Is the bigger the peel
The more you achieve, the more responsibility and challenges you have to handle
Thieves who steal
Those who cheat or deceive others will face consequences
Get a wheel for real
The punishment for wrongdoers can be harsh and uncompromising
A spin to infin or until I give a pardon
The punishment will continue until I see fit to forgive or release the wrongdoer
Me, I never promised you a rose garden
I did not promise an easy life or comfortable situation
Or nourishment just punishment for a fink
If you behave badly or take advantage of others, you will face consequences and punishment
Who thinks he can wash his face in our sink
(repeat of previous chorus, with added emphasis on collective ownership of the sink)
