Oh yeah they call me the recluse
'Cause I don't go outside for nothing, no one
Is gonna make me leave this room
Oh no they can't tell me nothing, no way
You see I'm being a fool
Yeah so I don't care about being cool
What's it to you?
If I just stay here in this hole that I boarded into
Oh yeah they call me the recluse
'Cause I don't go outside for nothing, no one
Is gonna make me leave this room
Oh no they can't tell me nothing, no way
You see I ain't thinking clear
Yeah you see I'm feeling sorry for myself
The words are used to interfere?
Would you really know what is or isn't good for my health?
Why don't you leave me alone?
I ain't hurting nobody, why you up in my face
Get up out my soul
You can't just you let me get through my time this way
Oh yeah they call me the recluse
'Cause I don't go outside for nothing, no one
Is gonna make me leave this room
Oh no they can't tell me nothing
No way
No way, yeah
Can't tell me nothing
They can't tell me nothing
They can't tell me nothing
Sitting here by myself looking mad at myself thinking
''I don't want to go out there''
I don't need no help, looking after myself
I got everything I need right here
I ain't trying to impress anyone in this cesspit jail
I just don't care
I ain't gotta smell fresh for a woman so I'm blessed
not washing my skin or my hair
They can call me the recluse, they ain't gonna remove
or cut me loose from this place, I'm locked in hiding
Like a locker wall moves 'cause you know I've gotten used
to the space that I'm occupying
There really ain't anything out there on the win they'd enjoy
more than see me crying
So I do it in my room where none of these goons can see
me though I know they've been trying
I ain't cut out for this shit
I'm a coward, I admit
I've never been no big ting
The thought of killing makes me sick
but I don't wanna be no victim
no way not Strickland
So I just stay in my cell like I'm bricked in
and hope that stops me from getting kicked in
Even if it earns me this nickname in prison
Oh yeah they call me the recluse
'Cause I don't go outside for nothing, no one
Is gonna make me leave this room
Oh no they can't tell me nothing, no way
Oh yeah they call me the recluse
'Cause I don't go outside for nothing, no one
Is gonna make me leave this room
Oh no they can't tell me nothing
