The Cleansing Room - K Rino

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 5 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 5 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

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

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

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

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 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»

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
