Alec Benjamin - The Boy In The Bubble [Official Lyric Video]

[00:01.31] It was 6:48, I was walking home

[00:03.30] Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone

[00:04.54] I had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold

[00:06.29] Then I covered up my face so that no one knows

[00:08.79] I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble

[00:12.31] But then came trouble

[00:14.29] When my mom walked into the living room

[00:16.29] She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you"

[00:18.07] I said, "You don't wanna know the things I had to do"

[00:19.80] She said, "Son, you gotta tell me why you're black and blue"

[00:22.29] I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble

[00:25.53] But then came trouble

[00:27.56] And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming

[00:31.56] Mind was running, air was freezing

[00:35.05] Put my hands up, put my hands up

[00:37.79] I told this kid I'm ready for a fight

[00:41.29] Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

[00:47.30] Every time you curse my name

[00:50.79] I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen

[00:54.80] Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground

[01:00.56] It's only gonna let you down

[01:04.29] Come the lightning and the thunder

[01:06.29] You're the one who'll suffer, suffer

[01:11.28] Well I squared him up, left my chest exposed

[01:13.05] He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose

[01:14.79] I had thick red blood running down my clothes

[01:16.29] And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though

[01:18.81] I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble

[01:22.29] But then came trouble

[01:24.29] And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming

[01:28.29] Mind was running, nose was bleeding

[01:31.54] Put my hands up, put my hands up

[01:34.54] I told this kid I'm ready for a fight

[01:38.04] Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

[01:44.04] Every time you curse my name

[01:47.55] I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen

[01:51.56] Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground

[01:57.04] It's only gonna let you down

[02:01.05] Come the lightning and the thunder

[02:03.06] You're the one who'll suffer

[02:04.79] It was 6:48, he was walking home

[02:06.55] With the blood on his hands from my broken nose

[02:08.04] But like every other day, he was scared to go

[02:09.79] Back to his house 'cause his pops was home

[02:12.29] Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles

[02:15.54] Just looking for trouble

[02:17.56] Well, there's no excuse for the things he did

[02:19.79] But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with

[02:21.29] Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid

[02:23.05] And I hope one day that he'll say to him

[02:25.54] Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle

[02:28.79] In this broken bubble

[02:31.54] Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

[02:37.29] Every time you curse my name

[02:40.79] I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen

[02:44.79] Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground

[02:50.55] It's only gonna let you down

[02:54.29] Come the lightning and the thunder

[02:56.31] You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
