[Intro]
Concrete cage
Four walls, one rage
Parklea pressure
(Say it) Parklea pressure
[Verse 1]
G-Block, C-Block, roll call, tense
Eyes on vents, shivs in the fence
Seg yard echo, name get checked
Wrong postcode, get your soul dissected
Screws walk past, boys stare hollow
Steel tray slam, that sound we follow
Seen red drip quick, spread on the floor
Mop marks streak from the wings to the door
Patch over patch, ink on skin
Old war stories in a cold steel wing
Phone time precious, line stay long
Muttered code in a foreign tongue
[Chorus]
Hard time Parklea, pressure in my chest
Seen blood drop like water on the vest
Screws get popped when the boys feel stressed
This ain’t TV, this is real-life test
Hard time Parklea, tension in the yard
Heart turn stone, face stay hard
If you make it past the gate, better thank your guard
Hard time Parklea, living with the scars
[Verse 2]
Mongol eyes watch, angels on the tier
Whole pod freeze when the big dogs near
Old vendettas in the shower steam
Towel on the rail, can’t hear a scream
Al Medina talk at the plastic table
Chess with sharks, every move unstable
Kites run silent through the vent at night
Names get circled, green light, no light
Visit room glass, kids press hand
Dad in greens, head full of sand
Judge swung hammer, years got stacked
Now every single day feels back-to-back
[Chorus]
Hard time Parklea, pressure in my chest
Seen blood drop like water on the vest
Screws get popped when the boys feel stressed
This ain’t TV, this is real-life test
Hard time Parklea, tension in the yard
Heart turn stone, face stay hard
If you make it past the gate, better thank your guard
Hard time Parklea, living with the scars
[Bridge]
Count time hush
Cold air, rush
Say your name, stand straight
Pray you don’t bleed on the next estate (yeah)
[Chorus]
Hard time Parklea, pressure in my chest
Seen blood drop like water on the vest
Screws get popped when the boys feel stressed
This ain’t TV, this is real-life test
Hard time Parklea, tension in the yard
Heart turn stone, face stay hard
If you make it past the gate, better thank your guard
Hard time Parklea, living with the scars (hard time)
