The Cleansing Room

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Listen, it all started on a rainy night around noon I woke up and found myself trapped in a locked and sound room First I thought that I was there alone but didn't anymore 'Cause I noticed five other people sitting on the floor I was confused and scared, anxiety in my head 'Cause I knew the night before I was lying sleep in my bed So the question was how did I arrive tell me quickly And more importantly who were the other five dwelling with me Their real identities I would come to discover each One man was a doctor, the other one was a priest A politician, teacher and a cop were the other three But the room now consisted of six because of me We were all nervous what was the purpose of this endeavor None of us had ever met yet we were all here together We were yelling loud, banging on the wall tryna crush it Then a voice over the intercom strongly interrupted [Chorus] You are in the cleansing room You are in the cleansing room There will be a cleansing soon Leading to impending doom You are in the cleansing room You are in the cleansing room There will be a cleansing soon Leading to impending doom [Verse 2] We all jumped in horror because his tone was horrid And with authority he told the doctor to come forward He said do you know why you are here? And he replied That he didn't, so the voice began to ruthlessly describe All the times that his patients were told intentional lies And guided to the grave with medicines he prescribed You've ended many lives people died prematurely 'Cause love of money drove you to practice your craft poorly Then he called out the teacher, told her everywhere that you went You knowingly would teach false history to your students You stayed silent as every moral fiber decayed Afraid to challenge power, just content with being paid Mr politician your evil ways have never switched Oppressive policies made for the benefit of the rich And he spoke to the cop who just had to be stopped For the racial hate harassment and black people he shot [Chorus] You are in the cleansing room You are in the cleansing room There will be a cleansing soon Leading to impending doom You are in the cleansing room You are in the cleansing room There will be a cleansing soon Leading to impending doom [Verse 3] There was deep regret, the voice told the priest he's next He said, "You prey on little boys like a beast for sex You're supposed to lead them to God 'til each is blessed But you destroyed lives and left and increased defect" The stage was set, who was this voracious threat But what was crazy he hadn't even engaged me yet The rest were crying with fear, the defiance was clear Nervously I said, "Excuse me sir, but why am I here" He said, "You make songs that potentially can influence You can bring the people to truth or you can bring them to ruins The decision is up to you, what will you do with your voice I hope that what you witnessed here will help you render your choice" That's when the doctor started throwing up his body declined The teacher's mental state diminished, she started losing her mind A bullet shot through the wall I was frozen with shock It went right through the politician's head and murdered the cop He gurgled and dropped, from the top a flame was released And I don't even want to speak on what became of the priest Right then I knew I couldn't misuse my gifts in these streets The door opened the voice said, "Yes, you get it now, go in peace" [Chorus] You are in the cleansing room You are in the cleansing room There will be a cleansing soon Leading to impending doom You are in the cleansing room You are in the cleansing room There will be a cleansing soon Leading to impending doom
