Life in the Penitentiary

Steel bars whisper cold truths at night, A jungle of killers, no room for fright. Survival ain't luck, it's blood and bone, Earn your name or die unknown. Respect ain't given, it's taken in war, A blade in the dark, a fist to the jaw. Weakness is death, don’t flinch, don’t fold, Only the ruthless make it old. No second chances, no rewind, no grace, One wrong move, they’ll rearrange your face. Ain’t no nine lives, just one shot to last, Make it count or fade fast. The yard’s a battlefield, the rules are clear, Stand your ground, show no fear. If it goes down, handle your biz, Ain’t no mercy where killers live. Every step’s a test, every glance a threat, A life of war, no time for regret. You bang with the hardest, you earn your place, Or get erased without a trace. Chains don’t break, they only weigh, A lifetime lost, but dues to pay. You either rise or rot away, In the penitentiary, where demons play.
