Alec Benjamin - The Boy In The Bubble (Lyrics)
[00:01.28] It was 6:48, I was walking home
[00:03.28] Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone
[00:04.78] I had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold
[00:06.68] Then I covered up my face so that no one knows
[00:08.92] I didn't want trouble
[00:10.67] I'm the boy in the bubble
[00:12.42] But then came trouble
[00:14.45] When my mom walked into the living room
[00:16.42] She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you"
[00:17.92] I said, "You don't wanna know the things I had to do"
[00:19.67] She said, "Son, you gotta tell me why you're black and blue"
[00:22.18] I said I didn't want trouble
[00:23.92] I'm the boy in the bubble
[00:25.67] But then came trouble
[00:27.69] And my heart was pumping
[00:29.92] Chest was screaming
[00:31.93] Mind was running
[00:33.42] Air was freezing
[00:35.19] Put my hands up
[00:36.92] Put my hands up
[00:38.17] I told this kid I'm ready for a fight
[00:41.44] Punch my face
[00:43.92] Do it 'cause I like the pain
[00:47.42] Every time you curse my name
[00:50.93] I know you want the satisfaction
[00:53.17] It's not gonna happen
[00:54.92] Knock me out
[00:57.42] Kick me when I'm on the ground
[01:00.67] It's only gonna let you down
[01:04.44] Come the lightning and the thunder
[01:06.68] You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
[01:11.42] Well I squared him up, left my chest exposed
[01:13.20] He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose
[01:14.67] I had thick red blood running down my clothes
[01:16.43] And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though
[01:18.92] I said I didn't want trouble
[01:20.67] I'm the boy in the bubble
[01:22.42] But then came trouble
[01:24.43] And my heart was pumping
[01:26.67] Chest was screaming
[01:28.42] Mind was running
[01:30.18] Nose was bleeding
[01:31.94] Put my hands up
[01:33.44] Put my hands up
[01:34.68] I told this kid I'm ready for a fight
[01:38.17] Punch my face
[01:40.67] Do it 'cause I like the pain
[01:43.94] Every time you curse my name
[01:47.67] I know you want the satisfaction
[01:49.92] It's not gonna happen
[01:51.67] Knock me out
[01:54.19] Kick me when I'm on the ground
[01:57.17] It's only gonna let you down
[02:01.17] Come the lightning and the thunder
[02:03.17] You're the one who'll suffer
[02:04.74] It was 6:48, he was walking home
[02:06.67] With the blood on his hand from my broken nose
[02:08.18] But like every other day, he was scared to go
[02:09.92] Back to his house 'cause his pops was home
[02:12.42] Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles
[02:15.67] Just looking for trouble
[02:18.17] Well, there's no excuse for the things he did
[02:19.67] But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with
[02:21.42] Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid
[02:22.92] And I hope one day that he'll say to him
[02:25.69] Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle
[02:29.17] In this broken bubble
[02:31.68] Punch my face
[02:33.92] Do it 'cause I like the pain
[02:37.17] Every time you curse my name
[02:41.17] I know you want the satisfaction
[02:43.17] It's not gonna happen
[02:44.92] Knock me out
[02:47.42] Kick me when I'm on the ground
[02:50.42] It's only gonna let you down
[02:54.42] Come the lightning and the thunder
[02:56.44] You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
