It was six fourtyeight
I was walking 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 living 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 pumping
chest was screaming
Mind was running
air was freezing
Put my hands up
put my hands up
I told this kid
I'm ready for a fight
Punch my face
do it 'cause 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 lightning
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
running down my clothes
And a sick
sick look 'cause
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 pumping
chest was screaming
Mind was running
nose was bleeding
Put my hands up
put my hands up
I told this kid
I'm ready for a fight
Punch my face
do it 'cause
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 lightning
and the thunder
You're the one
who'll suffer
It was six fourtyeight
he was walking 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
'cause his pops was home
Drowning his troubles
in whiskey bubbles
Just looking for trouble
Well there's no excuse for
the things he did
But there's a lot at home
that he's dealing 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 'cause
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 lightning
and the thunder
You're the one
who'll suffer
suffer
