Boy In The Bubble

[00:02.14] It was 6:48, I was walking home

[00:03.38] Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone

[00:05.13] I had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold

[00:06.92] Then I covered up my face so that no one knows

[00:09.12] I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble

[00:12.63] But then came trouble

[00:14.88] When my mom walked into the living room

[00:16.88] She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you"

[00:18.38] I said, "You don't wanna know the things I had to do"

[00:20.13] She said, "Son, you gotta tell me why you're black and blue"

[00:21.63] I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble

[00:26.12] But then came trouble

[00:28.38] And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming

[00:32.12] Mind was running, air was freezing

[00:35.64] Put my hands up, put my hands up

[00:38.62] I told this kid I'm ready for a fight

[00:42.14] Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

[00:47.63] Every time you curse my name

[00:51.63] I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen

[00:55.13] Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground

[01:01.12] It's only gonna let you down

[01:04.64] Come the lightning and the thunder

[01:07.12] You're the one who'll suffer, suffer

[01:12.12] Well I squared him up, left my chest exposed

[01:13.63] He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose

[01:15.15] I had thick red blood running down my clothes

[01:17.11] And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though

[01:18.63] I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble

[01:22.64] But then came trouble

[01:24.89] And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming

[01:28.89] Mind was running, nose was bleeding

[01:32.12] Put my hands up, put my hands up

[01:35.38] I told this kid I'm ready for a fight

[01:38.64] Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

[01:44.13] Every time you curse my name

[01:47.88] I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen

[01:51.89] Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground

[01:57.92] It's only gonna let you down

[02:00.88] Come the lightning and the thunder

[02:03.87] You're the one who'll suffer

[02:05.88] It was 6:48, he was walking home

[02:07.40] With the blood on his hand from my broken nose

[02:08.61] But like every other day, he was scared to go

[02:10.14] Back to his house 'cause his pops was home

[02:12.88] Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles

[02:16.14] Just looking for trouble

[02:18.40] Well, there's no excuse for the things he did

[02:19.89] But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with

[02:21.62] Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid

[02:23.63] And I hope one day that he'll say to him

[02:25.87] "Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle

[02:28.65] In this broken bubble"

[02:31.63] Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

[02:37.63] Every time you curse my name

[02:41.13] I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen

[02:45.11] Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground

[02:50.90] It's only gonna let you down

[02:54.66] Come the lightning and the thunder

[02:57.38] You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
