Karaoké Boy in the Bubble Alec Benjamin

It was six forty-eight

I was walkin' home

Stepped through the gate and I'm all alone

I had chicken on the plate but the food was cold

Then I covered up my face so that no one knows

I didn't want trouble

I'm the boy in the bubble

But then came trouble

When my mom walked into the livin' room

She said Boy you gotta tell me what they did to you

I said You don't wanna know the things I had to do

She said Son you gotta tell me why you're black and blue

I said I didn't want trouble

I'm the boy in the bubble

But then came trouble

And my heart was pumpin'

Chest was screamin'

Mind was runnin'

Air was freezin'

Put my hands up

Put my hands up

I told this kid I'm ready for a fight

Punch my face

Do it 'cos I like the pain

Every time you curse my name

I know you want the satisfaction

It's not gonna happen

Knock me out

Kick me when

I'm on the ground

It's only gonna let you down

Come the lightnin' and the thunder

You're the one who'll suffer

Suffer

Well I squared him up

Left my chest exposed

He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose

I had thick red blood runnin' down my clothes

And a sick, sick look 'cos I like it though

I said I didn't want trouble

I'm the boy in the bubble

But then came trouble

And my heart was pumpin'

Chest was screamin'

Mind was runnin'

Nose was bleedin'

Put my hands up

Put my hands up

I told this kid I'm ready for a fight

Punch my face

Do it 'cos I like the pain

Every time you curse my name

I know you want the satisfaction

It's not gonna happen

Knock me out

Kick me when

I'm on the ground

It's only gonna let you down

Come the lightnin' and the thunder

You're the one who'll suffer

It was six forty-eight

He was walkin' home with the blood on his hands from my broken nose

But like every other day he was scared to go back to his house 'cos his pops was home

Drownin' his troubles in whiskey bubbles

Just lookin' for trouble

Well there's no excuse for the things he did but there's a lot at home that he's dealin' with

Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid and I hope one day that he'll say to him

Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle in this broken bubble

Punch my face

Do it 'cos I like the pain

Every time you curse my name

I know you want the satisfaction

It's not gonna happen

Knock me out

Kick me when

I'm on the ground

It's only gonna let you down

Come the lightnin' and the thunder

You're the one who'll suffer

Suffer
