Boy In The Bubble

[00:00.86] *Verse 1*

[00:01.38] It was 6:48, I was walking home

[00:03.23] Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone

[00:04.70] I had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold

[00:06.61] Then I covered up my face so that no one knows

[00:09.13] I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble

[00:12.38] But then came trouble

[00:14.19] When my mom walked into the living room

[00:16.44] She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you"

[00:18.18] I said, "You don't wanna know the things I had to do"

[00:19.64] She said, "Son, you gotta tell me why you're black and blue"

[00:22.24] I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble

[00:25.66] But then came trouble

[00:27.83] *Pre-Chorus*

[00:27.83] And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming

[00:31.84] Mind was running, air was freezing

[00:35.33] Put my hands up, put my hands up

[00:38.33] I told this kid I'm ready for a fight

[00:41.83] *Chorus*

[00:41.83] Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

[00:47.43] Every time you curse my name

[00:50.94] I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen

[00:54.95] Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground

[01:00.68] It's only gonna let you down

[01:04.71] Come the lightning and the thunder

[01:06.48] You're the one who'll suffer, suffer

[01:11.51] *Verse 2*

[01:11.51] Well, I squared him up, left my chest exposed

[01:13.04] He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose

[01:14.93] I had thick red blood running down my clothes

[01:16.40] And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though

[01:18.93] I said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble

[01:22.42] But then came trouble

[01:24.25] *Pre-Chorus*

[01:24.25] And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming

[01:28.74] Mind was running, nose was bleeding

[01:31.74] Put my hands up, put my hands up

[01:34.74] I told this kid I'm ready for a fight

[01:38.20] *Chorus*

[01:38.20] Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

[01:43.90] Every time you curse my name

[01:47.29] I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen

[01:51.52] Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground

[01:57.29] It's only gonna let you down

[02:01.37] Come the lightning and the thunder

[02:03.38] You're the one who'll suffer

[02:04.84] *Verse 3*

[02:04.84] It was 6:48, he was walking home

[02:06.48] With the blood on his hands from my broken nose

[02:07.92] But like every other day, he was scared to go

[02:10.03] Back to his house 'cause his pops was home

[02:12.53] Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles

[02:15.78] Just looking for trouble

[02:17.78] 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

[02:21.56] Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid

[02:23.02] And I hope one day that he'll say to him

[02:25.77] "Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle

[02:29.02] In this broken bubble"

[02:31.74] *Chorus*

[02:31.74] Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

[02:37.23] Every time you curse my name

[02:40.71] I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen

[02:44.71] Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground

[02:50.71] It's only gonna let you down

[02:54.71] Come the lightning and the thunder

[02:56.72] You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
