[00:00.58] Boy In The Bubble

[00:01.06] Alec Benjamin

[00:01.32] It was 6:48, I was walking home

[00:02.81] Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone

[00:04.32] I had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold

[00:06.07] Then I covered up my face so that no one knows

[00:07.82] I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble

[00:11.56] But then came trouble

[00:13.32] When my mom walked into the living room

[00:16.57] She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you"

[00:17.57] I said, "You don't wanna know the things I had to do"

[00:19.32] She said, "Son, you gotta tell me why you're black and blue"

[00:21.82] I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble

[00:25.08] But then came trouble

[00:27.32] And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming

[00:31.07] Mind was running, air was freezing

[00:34.59] Put my hands up, put my hands up

[00:37.81] I told this kid I'm ready for a fight

[00:41.07] Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

[00:46.83] Every time you curse my name

[00:50.56] I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen

[00:54.07] Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground

[01:00.32] It's only gonna let you down

[01:03.81] Come the lightning and the thunder

[01:05.57] You're the one who'll suffer, suffer

[01:10.07] Well I squared him up, left my chest exposed

[01:12.58] He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose

[01:14.32] I had thick red blood running down my clothes

[01:16.06] And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though

[01:17.57] I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble

[01:21.55] But then came trouble

[01:24.56] And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming

[01:27.82] Mind was running, nose was bleeding

[01:31.06] Put my hands up, put my hands up

[01:33.07] I told this kid I'm ready for a fight

[01:37.82] Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

[01:43.32] Every time you curse my name

[01:47.07] I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen

[01:51.07] Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground

[01:56.82] It's only gonna let you down

[02:00.31] Come the lightning and the thunder

[02:03.57] You're the one who'll suffer

[02:05.32] It was 6:48, he was walking home

[02:05.81] With the blood on his hand from my broken nose

[02:07.57] But like every other day, he was scared to go

[02:09.33] Back to his house 'cause his pops was home

[02:11.82] Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles

[02:15.32] Just looking for trouble

[02:16.82] Well, there's no excuse for the things he did

[02:19.07] But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with

[02:20.81] Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid

[02:22.57] And I hope one day that he'll say to him

[02:24.56] "Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle

[02:28.57] In this broken bubble"

[02:31.33] Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

[02:33.57] Every time you curse my name

[02:40.70] I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen

[02:44.45] Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground

[02:49.94] It's only gonna let you down

[02:53.95] Come the lightning and the thunder

[02:56.20] You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
