The Recluse
Oh yeah they call me ‘The Recluse’‘Cause I don’t go outside for nothin’, no oneIs gonna make me leave this roomOh no they can’t tell me nothin’, no way
You see I’m being a foolYes so I don’t care about being coolWhat’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 nothin’, no oneIs gonna make me leave this roomOh no they can’t tell me nothin’, no way
You see I ain’t thinkin’ clearYes so I dunno, I’m feeling sorry for myselfWho asked you 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 hurtin’ nobody, why you up in my face?Get up out my soulWhy can’t you just let me get through my time this way?
Oh yeah they call me ‘The Recluse’‘Cause I don’t go outside for nothin’, no oneIs gonna make me leave this roomOh no they can’t tell me nothin’, no way, no way, yeahCan’t tell me nothin’They can’t tell me nothin’They can’t tell me nothin’
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 hereI ain’t trying to impress anyone in this cesspit jail I just don’t careI ain’t gotta smell fresh for a woman so I’m blessed not washing my skin or my hairThey can call me a recluse, they ain’t gonna remove or cut me loose from this place, I’m locked in hidingLike a rocker wall moves ’cause you know I’ve gotten used to the space that I’m occupyingThere really ain’t anything out there on the win they’d enjoy more more than see me cryingSo I do it in my room where none of these goons can see me though I know they’ve been tryingI ain’t cut out for this shit, I’m a coward I admit, I’ve never been no big tingThe thought of killing makes me sick, but I don’t wanna be no victim no way not StricklandSo I just stay in my cell like I’m bricked in and hope that stops me from getting kicked inEven if it earns me this nickname in prison
Oh yeah they call me ‘The Recluse’‘Cause I don’t go outside for nothin’, no oneIs gonna make me leave this roomOh no they can’t tell me nothin’, no wayOh yeah they call me ‘The Recluse’‘Cause I don’t go outside for nothin’, no oneIs gonna make me leave this roomOh no they can’t tell me nothin’
