Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Steel doors slam Echo in my chest Coffee gone cold Vest still pressed Kitchen serving scraps Same tray Same lies They point at the budget We point at the skies Blame on the guards Blame on the suits We just catch it in the middle Blood on our boots Only keys on my hip No steel on my side If it jumps in the block All I got is my eyes [Chorus] It’s a twelve-hour cage Clock stuck Won’t move Every tier Every rage Same fight Same groove Code 10-99 All in No rest I leave half my mind Locked up in this nest [Verse 2] Office lights buzz Paper cuts and dust Radio on my shoulder Whose life do I trust In the glass My face Older than last year Lines from the stress Deep as the tier Wonder when it pops Who runs Who stays Who makes it home Who’s lost in the haze [Chorus] It’s a twelve-hour cage Clock stuck Won’t move Every tier Every rage Same fight Same groove Code 10-99 All in No rest I leave half my mind Locked up in this nest [Bridge] Count time Chow time It all sounds the same (hey!) Their numbers My number Just pages in a game If I walk from this gate I’ll still hear that slam Still smell that kitchen Still feel who I am [Chorus] It’s a twelve-hour cage Clock stuck Won’t move Every tier Every rage Same fight Same groove Code 10-99 All in No rest I leave half my mind Locked up in this nest

Gritty boom-bap beat with dusty drum break, ominous bass drone, and sparse piano stabs. Male vocals, close-mic and dry in the verses; hook opens with doubled vocals and gang-style shouts tucked behind. Occasional siren FX swells and radio chatter drops to sell the prison setting, with a final bar where the beat chokes out suddenly on the last word.
