Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Keys on my hip Coffee gone cold Steel door breathes Like it’s growing old Barcode buzz Red light Green Faces I know From every bad dream Tattooed fingers Wrapped round bars Eyes like knives Counting scars They shout my name Like a curse Like a dare I stare straight through But I feel that stare [Chorus] Behind these concrete walls I walk the line I walk it all I hear the screams The hate The threats The codes they speak The quiet debts Behind these concrete walls I’m just a shadow in the hall I keep the keys I feel the stress I hold the peace in this hard mess (yeah) [Verse 2] Radio whispers “Unit to tier” Every short word Can flip to fear Kites in the cracks Messages slid “Watch your back” From a lifer kid Silence hits harder Than all their rage Whole block holding The same blank page I lock one door Another mind breaks Guard my heart Till the morning shakes [Chorus] Behind these concrete walls I walk the line I walk it all I hear the screams The hate The threats The codes they speak The quiet debts Behind these concrete walls I’m just a shadow in the hall I keep the keys I feel the stress I hold the peace in this hard mess [Bridge] I go home late But I don’t leave Metal and echo Stuck in my sleeve Pray they change Pray I don’t Think I’m tough Till I know I won’t (yeah) [Chorus] Behind these concrete walls I walk the line I walk it all I hear the screams The hate The threats The codes they speak The quiet debts Behind these concrete walls Name on a badge That’s all Between their hell and my small life I’m just a man in fluorescent light

Gritty minor-key hip-hop with male vocals; moody piano loop over sparse, knocking drums and a pulsing sub-bass. Verses stay tight and close-mic’d, almost whispered in spots; hook widens with doubled vocals, distant gang-style shouts, and a metallic reverb that echoes like a cell block. Subtle siren swells and clanking textures ride the back of the beat to build tension, then drop for a stark, breathless final chorus.
