Alec Benjamin - Boy in the Bubble(2018)

[00:01.77] It was 6:48, I was walking home
[00:03.35] Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone
[00:05.00] I had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold
[00:06.63] Then I covered up my face so that no one knows
[00:09.04] I didn't want trouble
[00:10.76] I'm the boy in the bubble
[00:12.39] But then came trouble
[00:14.48] When my mom walked into the living room
[00:16.50] She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you"
[00:18.30] I said, "You don't wanna know the things I had to do"
[00:19.96] She said, "Son, you gotta tell me why you're black and blue"
[00:22.24] I said I didn't want trouble
[00:24.09] I'm the boy in the bubble
[00:25.79] But then came trouble
[00:27.63] And my heart was pumping
[00:30.10] Chest was screaming
[00:31.96] Mind was running
[00:33.69] Air was freezing
[00:35.27] Put my hands up
[00:36.99] Put my hands up
[00:38.34] I told this kid I'm ready for a fight
[00:41.70] Punch my face
[00:44.11] Do it 'cause I like the pain
[00:47.29] Every time you curse my name
[00:51.01] I know you want the satisfaction
[00:53.32] It's not gonna happen
[00:55.10] Knock me out
[00:57.53] Kick me when I'm on the ground
[01:00.65] It's only gonna let you down
[01:04.40] Come the lightning and the thunder
[01:06.72] You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
[01:11.52] Well I squared him up, left my chest exposed
[01:13.25] He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose
[01:14.93] I had thick red blood running down my clothes
[01:16.66] And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though
[01:18.90] I said I didn't want trouble
[01:20.79] I'm the boy in the bubble
[01:22.45] But then came trouble
[01:24.58] And my heart was pumping
[01:26.89] Chest was screaming
[01:28.55] Mind was running
[01:30.24] Nose was bleeding
[01:31.84] Put my hands up
[01:33.54] Put my hands up
[01:35.04] I told this kid I'm ready for a fight
[01:38.38] Punch my face
[01:40.84] Do it 'cause I like the pain
[01:43.81] Every time you curse my name
[01:47.77] I know you want the satisfaction
[01:50.02] It's not gonna happen
[01:51.72] Knock me out
[01:54.24] Kick me when I'm on the ground
[01:57.56] It's only gonna let you down
[02:01.17] Come the lightning and the thunder
[02:03.49] You're the one who'll suffer
[02:05.38] It was 6:48, he was walking home
[02:06.82] With the blood on his hand from my broken nose
[02:08.43] But like every other day, he was scared to go
[02:10.18] Back to his house 'cause his pops was home
[02:12.48] Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles
[02:15.61] Just looking for trouble
[02:18.11] Well, there's no excuse for the things he did
[02:20.06] But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with
[02:21.63] Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid
[02:23.36] And I hope one day that he'll say to him
[02:25.72] Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle
[02:28.95] In this broken bubble
[02:31.85] Punch my face
[02:34.38] Do it 'cause I like the pain
[02:37.68] Every time you curse my name
[02:41.16] I know you want the satisfaction
[02:43.47] It's not gonna happen
[02:45.26] Knock me out
[02:47.62] Kick me when I'm on the ground
[02:50.81] It's only gonna let you down
[02:54.65] Come the lightning and the thunder
[02:56.64] You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
[02:58.72]
