Lyrics

[00:01.18] It was 6:48 I was walking home
[00:03.02] Stepped to the gate and I'm all alone
[00:04.52] I had chicken on the plate but the food was cold
[00:06.25] Then I covered up my face so that no one knows
[00:08.61] I didn't want trouble
[00:10.24] I'm the boy in the bubble
[00:11.89] But then came trouble
[00:13.94] When my mum walked into the living room
[00:16.11] She said boy you gotta tell me what they did to you
[00:17.74] I said you don't wanna know the things that I had to do
[00:19.36] She said son you gotta tell me why you're black and blue
[00:21.81] I said I didn't want trouble
[00:23.54] I'm the boy in the bubble
[00:25.29] But then came trouble
[00:26.72]
[00:27.41] And my heart was pumping
[00:29.89] Chest was screaming
[00:31.51] Mind was running
[00:33.22] Air was freezing
[00:34.80] Put my hands up
[00:36.51] Put my hands up
[00:37.99] I told this kid I'm ready for a fight
[00:40.68]
[00:41.32] Punch my face
[00:43.80] Do it 'cause I like the pain
[00:47.03] Every time you curse my name
[00:50.47] I know you want the satisfaction
[00:52.93] That's not going to happen
[00:54.71] Knock me out
[00:57.06] Kick me when I'm on the ground
[01:00.28] It's only going to let you down
[01:04.14] I'm the lightning and the thunder
[01:06.34] You're the one that suffers
[01:09.45]
[01:11.04] Well I squared him up with my chest exposed
[01:12.80] He threw a quick left hook
[01:13.78] And it broke my nose
[01:14.51] I had thick red blood running down my clothes
[01:16.33] And a sick sick look 'cause I like it though
[01:18.59] I said I didn't want trouble
[01:20.28] I'm the boy in the bubble
[01:22.06] But then came trouble
[01:23.48]
[01:24.14] And my heart was pumping
[01:26.52] Chest was screaming
[01:28.16] Mind was running
[01:29.85] Nose was bleeding
[01:31.54] Put my hands up
[01:33.31] Put my hands up
[01:34.61] I told this kid I'm ready for a fight
[01:37.17]
[01:38.01] Punch my face
[01:40.39] Do it 'cause I like the pain
[01:43.74] Every time you curse my name
[01:47.19] I know you want the satisfaction
[01:49.64] That's not going to happen
[01:51.35] Knock me out
[01:53.79] Kick me when I'm on the ground
[01:56.97] It's only going to let you down
[02:00.80] I'm the lightning and the thunder
[02:03.14] You're the one that suffers
[02:04.78]
[02:04.80] It's 6:48 he's walking home
[02:06.25] With the blood on his hand from my broken nose
[02:07.98] But like every other day he was scared to go
[02:09.80] Back to his house
[02:10.39] Because his pop was home
[02:12.03] Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles
[02:15.26] Just looking for trouble
[02:17.62] Well there's no excuse for the things he did
[02:19.53] But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with
[02:21.08] Because he's dad's been drunk since he was a kid
[02:23.00] And I hope one day he'll say to him
[02:25.30] Put down those bubbles
[02:26.91] And that buckle
[02:28.48] And this broken bubble
[02:29.97]
[02:31.19] Punch my face
[02:33.75] Do it 'cause I like the pain
[02:37.01] Every time you curse my name
[02:40.41] I know you want the satisfaction
[02:42.90] That's not going to happen
[02:44.68] Knock me out
[02:47.03] Kick me when I'm on the ground
[02:50.22] It's only going to let you down
[02:54.10] I'm the lightning and the thunder
[02:56.33] You're the one that suffers
[02:59.73]
