[Verse 1]
Parklea got my head gone
Time move slow, mind bent wrong
Fifteen fights, I won’t lie
Five blocks deep, same cold sky
Supermax, door steel shut
Twenty-four locked, chest stuck
Yard time chopped, quick glance
One wrong move, one red stain
Blood on the floor, death in the air
Nobody came, nobody cared
Girl never showed, phone stayed dead
Five years there, that’s what they said
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the marks on the wall
Hear the boots in the hall
Every night feel the same
Every day lose my name
[Chorus]
Parklea lockdown, hold me down
Parklea lockdown, no way out
Mind gone crazy, still I stand
Five years facing rap with my hands
[Verse 2]
I seen pride turn to dust
Seen close mates lose trust
Seen a laugh get cut too quick
Seen a stare turn sick
Meal tray cold, lights too white
Dreams get small in the night
I was young, now I’m trained
To hear one sound and brace for pain
Wrote her name on a cheap wall
Watched that hope get thin and fall
If she’d came, I’d know I’m real
Instead I learned how hard men feel
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the marks on the wall
Hear the boots in the hall
Every night feel the same
Every day lose my name
[Chorus]
Parklea lockdown, hold me down
Parklea lockdown, no way out
Mind gone crazy, still I stand
Five years facing rap with my hands
[Bridge]
Tell my mum I stayed alive
Tell my soul I still survived
If the door opens, I change
If it don’t, I wear this chain
[Chorus]
Parklea lockdown, hold me down
Parklea lockdown, no way out
Mind gone crazy, still I stand
Five years facing rap with my hands
