[Hook]
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

[Verse 1]
You see I'm being a fool
It gets so I don't care about being cool
What's it to you?
If I just stay here in this hole that I'm boarded into

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
You see, I ain't thinking clear
It gets so I don't know I'm feeling sorry for myself
Who asked you to interfere?
How 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
Why can't you just let me get through my time this way?

[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Sitting here by myself, looking mad at myself
Thinking I don't wanna 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 no woman
So I'm blessed not washing my skin or my hair
They can call me a recluse they ain't gonna remove
Or cut me loose from this place, I'm locked in hiding
Like a rock, I won't move cause you know
I've gotten used to the space that I'm occupying
There really ain't anything out there but the wind
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

[Hook]
