Lyrics
[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.
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

This place ain’t meant for dreams...
Just blood... just screams...
Sacramento steel, cold and raw...
Dead man walkin’...
Saw it all.
