[Intro – Spoken, low tone] Sacramento State... PSU 3... Lockdown world... 23 and 1... Only the strong make it out alive... Dead man walkin’... every fuckin’ day. [Verse 1] Steel doors slam, welcome to the cage PSU 3 — rage on every page Eyes hollow, minds broke, spirits snapped One hour of sun, then the dark bites back Mental pain thick like blood in the drain Every cell got a story, every echo screams pain Shivs in the mattress, prayers in the piss You smell death long before it hits [Chorus – Chant Style, Aggressive] Dead man walkin’! No soul left to save ZZ Cells – where angels misbehave We go home, they rot in flame Only the strong survive this game Blood, fear, screams in the night This ain’t a job, it’s a motherfuckin’ fight [Verse 2] Overdoses cold on the tier floor Hung up souls swingin’ behind the door Rape and silence, pain and pride You learn to walk past the horror and hide The screams don’t fade, they tattoo your brain A life in shadows, stitched in chain Every click of the cuff, another chance to die But I stand tall — head high, eyes dry [Bridge – Breakdown, Spoken Grit] They don't leave. They don't change. We see the worst and come back again. Blood on the walls. Shit in the vents. Another day in hell... collect your check. [Chorus – Full Shout] Dead man walkin’! This is not a drill ZZ Cells! Where hope gets killed We go home, they stay in flames Only the strong survive this game Shanked in the dark, you learn the sound Of another broken soul goin’ down [Outro – Slow, Dark, Echoed] This place ain’t meant for dreams... Just blood... just screams... Sacramento steel, cold and raw... Dead man walkin’... Saw it all.
