[Verse 1]
It was Am6:48, I was walking home
Stepped through the gate, and I'm all alone
I had chDmicken on the plate, but the food was cold
Then I covered up my face so that no one knows
CI didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
EBut then came trouble
When my mAmom walked into the living room
She said, "Boy, you gotta tell me what they did to you"
I said, "YDmou don't wanna know the things I had to do"
She said, "Son, you gotta tell me why you're black and blue"
CI said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
EBut then came trouble
[Pre-Chorus]
And my hAmeart was pumping, chest was screaming
MiDmnd was running, air was freezing
PCut my hands up, put my hands up
I tEold this kid I'm ready for a fight
N.C.
[Chorus]
PuAmnch my face, do it 'cause I Dmlike the pain
Every time you cCurse my name
I know you wEant the satisfaction, Dmit's not gonna happen
KnAmock me out, kick me when I'm Dmon the ground
It's only gonna lCet you down
Come the ligEhtning and the thunder
YDmou're the one who'll suffer, Amsuffer
[Verse 2]
Well I sqAmuared him up, left my chest exposed
He threw a quick left hook and it broke my nose
I had thDmick red blood running down my clothes
And a sick, sick look 'cause I like it though
CI said I didn't want trouble, I'm the boy in the bubble
EBut then came trouble
[Pre-Chorus]
And my Amheart was pumping, chest was screaming
MDmind was running, nose was bleedin'
PCut my hands up, put my hands up
EI told this kid I'm ready for a fight
N.C.
[Chorus]
PuAmnch my face, do it 'cause I lDmike the pain
Every time you cCurse my name
I know you wEant the satisfaction, Dmit's not gonna happen
KAmnock me out, kick me when I'm Dmon the ground
It's only gonna Clet you down
Come the liEghtning and the thunder
YDmou're the one who'll suffer, Amsuffer
[Verse 3]
It was Am6:48, he was walking home
With the blood on his hand from my broken nose
But like evDmery other day, he was scared to go
Back to his house 'cause his pops was home
CDrowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles
EJust looking for trouble
Well, there's Amno excuse for the things he did
But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with
Because his dDmad's been drunk since he was a kid
And I hope one day that he'll say to him
CPut down those bubbles and that belt buckle
EIn this broken bubble
N.C.
[Chorus]
PAmunch my face, do it 'cause I Dmlike the pain
Every time you cCurse my name
I know you wEant the satisfaction, Dmit's not gonna happen
KnAmock me out, kick me when I'm Dmon the ground
It's only gonna Clet you down
Come the lEightning and the thunder
YoDmu're the one who'll suffer, Amsuffer

[Verse 1]

It was 6:48, 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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

N.C.

[Chorus]

Am Dm

Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

Every time you curse my name

E Dm

I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen

Am Dm

Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground

It's only gonna let you down

Come the lightning and the thunder

Dm Am

You're the one who'll suffer, suffer

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

And my heart was pumping, chest was screaming

Mind was running, nose was bleedin'

Put my hands up, put my hands up

I told this kid I'm ready for a fight

N.C.

[Chorus]

Am Dm

Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

Every time you curse my name

E Dm

I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen

Am Dm

Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground

It's only gonna let you down

Come the lightning and the thunder

Dm Am

You're the one who'll suffer, suffer

[Verse 3]

It was 6:48, he was walking home

With the blood on his hand 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

N.C.

[Chorus]

Am Dm

Punch my face, do it 'cause I like the pain

Every time you curse my name

E Dm

I know you want the satisfaction, it's not gonna happen

Am Dm

Knock me out, kick me when I'm on the ground

It's only gonna let you down

Come the lightning and the thunder

Dm Am

You're the one who'll suffer, suffer
