 So I'm blFessed not washing my skin or my hair
 They can cAmall me a recluse they ain't gConna remove
 Or cut me lFoose from this place, I'm locked in hiding
 AmLike a rock, I won't mCove cause you know
 I've gotten usFed to the space that I'm occupying
 AmThere really ain't anythCing out there but the wFind
 They'd enjoy more than see me crying
 AmSo I do it in my roCom where none of these goFons can see me
 Though I know they've been trying
 DmI ain't cEut out for this shit, I'm a cFoward I admit
 I've never been no big ting
 DmThe thought of killing makes me sEick
 But FI don't wanna be no victim, no way, not Strickland
 DmSo I just stay in my cEell like I'm brFicked in
 And hope that stops me from getting kicked in
 DmEven if it earns me this nEickname in prison
[Hook]
Oh yeah, they call me the rDmecluseE  F  
Cause I don't go outside for nDmothingE  
No oFne is gonna make me leave this rDmoomE  F  
Oh no, they can't tell me nDmothing, Eno wFay
