Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Steel door slam Badge on my chest Same codes Different day Same stale breath Carrying keys like it’s my sin Cold metal spine on my hip Eyes everywhere or else One blink and it slips Fluorescent hum in my skull Names scratched deep in the paint I learn the faces Not the stories Pretend I ain’t Being nice don’t bother ‘em They seen too much to pretend So I stand between their past And whatever’s at the end [Chorus] Watch the clock Watch my back Thirty minutes ‘til the next long lap Stress so loud I can hear it in the vents Fear in my throat But I still don’t flinch Same codes Different day And it all feels bent I carry these keys Like I’m paying off debt [Verse 2] Round sheet in my hand Eyes flick from cell to cell Count breaths in the silence Try to read the smell One joke breaks the ice Then the tension snaps right back Respect is a thin blue line Stitched into this black Radio on my shoulder Spitting numbers like rain Every hallway got a story Etched in somebody’s vein I walk it like a tightrope Over concrete and regret Every lock that turns Is a promise and a threat [Chorus] Watch the clock Watch my back Thirty minutes ‘til the next long lap Stress so loud I can hear it in the vents Fear in my throat But I still don’t flinch Same codes Different day And it all feels bent I carry these keys Like I’m paying off debt [Bridge] Do they dream of getting out While I dream of getting through Different sides of the door Same shade of blue (yeah) If I’m a guard I’m a ghost Haunting every tier I tread Alive in this place By living in my head [Chorus] Watch the clock Watch my back Thirty minutes ‘til the next long lap Stress so loud I can hear it in the vents Fear in my throat But I still don’t flinch Same codes Different day And it all feels bent I carry these keys Like I’m paying off debt

Gritty storytelling hip-hop over sparse, moody trap drums; dark electric piano and distant guitar swells. Verses stay close and conversational, almost whispered; chorus opens up with layered male vocals and a heavier low end. Subtle siren and radio chatter textures weave through the beat, tension rising to each hook then dropping to a haunted simmer.
