The Boy In The Bubble - Alec Benjamin (Lyrics)(MP3_70K)

[00:06.12] It was 6:48, I was walking home

[00:07.86] Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone

[00:09.38] I had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold

[00:11.36] Then I covered up my face so that no one knows

[00:13.64] I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble

[00:16.88] But then came trouble

[00:19.12] When my mom walked into the living room

[00:21.13] She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you"

[00:22.62] I said, "You don't wanna know the things I had to do"

[00:24.38] She said, "Son, you gotta tell me why you're black and blue"

[00:26.87] I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble

[00:30.38] But then came trouble

[00:32.12] And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming

[00:36.14] Mind was running, air was freezing

[00:39.62] Put my hands up, put my hands up

[00:42.36] I told this kid I'm ready for a fight

[00:45.36] Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

[00:51.87] Every time you curse my name

[00:55.61] I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen

[00:59.38] Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground

[01:05.38] It's only gonna let you down

[01:08.62] Come the lightning and the thunder

[01:11.13] You're the one who'll suffer, suffer

[01:16.11] Well I squared him up, left my chest exposed

[01:17.86] He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose

[01:19.62] I had thick red blood running down my clothes

[01:21.35] And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though

[01:23.60] I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble

[01:27.12] But then came trouble

[01:29.11] And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming

[01:32.87] Mind was running, nose was bleeding

[01:36.35] Put my hands up, put my hands up

[01:39.12] I told this kid I'm ready for a fight

[01:42.61] Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

[01:48.37] Every time you curse my name

[01:52.36] I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen

[01:56.11] Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground

[02:02.11] It's only gonna let you down

[02:05.37] Come the lightning and the thunder

[02:08.36] You're the one who'll suffer

[02:10.11] It was 6:48, he was walking home

[02:11.09] With the blood on his hand from my broken nose

[02:12.87] But like every other day, he was scared to go

[02:14.59] Back to his house 'cause his pops was home

[02:17.09] Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles

[02:20.12] Just looking for trouble

[02:22.10] Well, there's no excuse for the things he did

[02:24.34] But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with

[02:26.10] Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid

[02:28.11] And I hope one day that he'll say to him

[02:30.09] "Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle

[02:33.63] In this broken bubble"

[02:35.87] Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

[02:41.62] Every time you curse my name

[02:45.10] I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen

[02:49.36] Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground

[02:55.34] It's only gonna let you down

[02:59.61] Come the lightning and the thunder

[03:01.34] You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
