It's a man stepping into a man's wild

It's a test of how far you can go.

To survive you need nerves of steel.

You're condemned feeding time at the lion's den.

Everybody wants to see you fall.

Everyone moves in on the kill for a mouth full.

Behind the wire

So forget everything you've learned out there.

'Cos in here what's wrong is right.

Where a smile means so much more to man.

Where some muthafucker wants you for a lover man

he doesn't give a damn.

So pray you don't become the prey.

You will live another day

If you can call this living.

Behind the wire

Don't stand out just to be a face in the crowd.

Hope to God they don't pick you.

With a look you can die in the blink of an eye.

In the penitentiary nobody hears your scream.

Rehabilitate to crime the man with the scarred mind

Has learned through therapy

Be the hunter, not the hunted

Behind the wire

They won't hear you scream

Wake me from this dream
