[Verse 1]
Blue light on my face
Mic clipped to my vest
I key up the channel
And I do my best
“Unit Three to block
I need eyes now”
The man in cell four
Is losing his mind somehow
He’s laughing at the wall
Like it told him a joke
Now the whole damn tier
Is gagging on the smoke
[Pre-Chorus]
I said, “What’s the mess?”
They said, “You don’t wanna know”
I said, “Talk to me now”
They said, “Bro, it’s low”
One look through the glass
And I nearly quit
He’s painting the walls
With the worst of it
[Chorus]
Cell four, cell four
Send a crew right now
Cell four, cell four
We got a cleanup somehow
He’s going hard
In a real bad way
Cell four, cell four
I need backup today
[Verse 2]
He’s pacing in circles
Like a king in a cage
Grinning through the stink
With a wild-eyed rage
I knock on the door
He salutes with pride
Then wipes his whole hand
On the other side
I said, “Man, stop that”
He said, “Make me, boss”
I said, “You’re insane”
He said, “That’s your loss”
[Pre-Chorus]
I keyed the mic again
“Yeah, this one’s a wreck”
Heard three guys retch
Down the whole damn deck
The sergeant came running
Said, “Tell me it’s a lie”
I pointed at the door
He just said, “My my”
[Chorus]
Cell four, cell four
Send a crew right now
Cell four, cell four
We got a cleanup somehow
He’s going hard
In a real bad way
Cell four, cell four
I need backup today
[Bridge]
[Breakdown]
New gloves, new mask
New boots, new faith
That cell is a crime scene
And a personal disgrace
He’s still in there laughing
Like he won the war
I swear that man
Is the devil in a four-by-four
[Final Chorus]
Cell four, cell four
Send a crew right now
Cell four, cell four
We got a cleanup somehow
He’s going hard
In a real bad way
Cell four, cell four
I need backup today
Cell four, cell four
That’s a cursed-ass sight
Cell four, cell four
Lock it up tonight
[Outro]
Radio crackle
My patience broke
Somebody bring bleach
And a hazmat coat
