Boy in the Bubble

It was 6: 48, I was walking homeStepped through the gate, and I'm all aloneI had chicken on the plate, but the food was coldthen I covered up my face so that no one knowsI didn't want troubleI'm the boy in the bubbleBut then came troubleWhen my mom walked into the living roomShe 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 troubleI'm the boy in the bubbleBut then came troubleAnd my heart was pumpingChest was screamingMind was runningAir was freezingPut my hands upPut my hands upI told this kid I'm ready for a fightPunch my faceDo it 'cause I like the painEvery time you curse my nameI know you want the satisfactionIt's not gonna happenKnock me outKick me when I'm on the groundIt's only gonna let you downCome the lightning and the thunderYou're the one who'll suffer, sufferWell I squared him up, left my chest exposedHe threw a quick left hook and it broke my noseI had thick red blood running down my clothesAnd a sick, sick look 'cause I like it thoughI said I didn't want troubleI'm the boy in the bubbleBut then came troubleAnd my heart was pumpingChest was screamingMind was runningNose was bleedingPut my hands upPut my hands upI told this kid I'm ready for a fightPunch my faceDo it 'cause I like the painEvery time you curse my nameI know you want the satisfactionIt's not gonna happenKnock me outKick me when I'm on the groundIt's only gonna let you downCome the lightning and the thunderYou're the one who'll sufferIt was 6: 48, he was walking homeWith the blood on his hand from my broken noseBut like every other day, he was scared to goBack to his house 'cause his pops was homeDrowning his troubles in whiskey bubblesJust looking for troubleWell, there's no excuse for the things he didBut there's a lot at home that he's dealing withBecause his dad's been drunk since he was a kidAnd I hope one day that he'll say to himPut down those bubbles and that belt buckleIn this broken bubblePunch my faceDo it 'cause I like the painEvery time you curse my nameI know you want the satisfactionIt's not gonna happenKnock me outKick me when I'm on the groundIt's only gonna let you downCome the lightning and the thunderYou're the one who'll suffer, suffer
