[Bm] It was 6.48, I was walking home, stepped to the gate, and I'm all [E] alone.
I had chicken on the plate, but the food was cold.
Then I covered up my face so that no [D] one knows.
I didn't want trouble.
[A] I'm the boy in the bubble.
[G] But then came trouble.
When my [F#] mom walked into the living room, she said,
Boy, you [Bm] gotta tell me what they did to [E] 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 [D] blue.
I said, I didn't want trouble.
I'm the boy in the bubble.
[G] But then came trouble.
[Bm] And my heart was pumping.
Chest was [Em] screaming.
Mind was running.
Air was [D] freezing.
Put my hands up.
Put my hands up.
[F#] I told this kid I'm ready for [Bm] a fight.
Curse my face.
Do it [Em] cause I like the pain.
Every [D] time you curse my name.
I [F#] know you want the satisfaction.
There's nothing to [Bm] happen.
Knock me out.
Freaky [Em] when I'm on the ground.
It's only [D] gonna last.
I'm gonna let you down.
[F#] There's a lightning and a thunder.
You're the one to suffer.
[G] Suffer.
[Bm] Well, I squared him up.
Left my chest exposed.
He threw a quick left hook.
And it broke my [Em] nose.
I had thick red blood running down my clothes.
And a sick, sick look.
Cause I liked it [D] though.
I said, I didn't want trouble.
[A] I'm the boy in the bubble.
[D] But then came trouble.

[Bm] Well, it's 648.
He was walking home.
With the blood on his hands from a broken nose.
[Em] But like every other day, he was scared to go back to his house.
Cause his pops was [D] home.
Drowning his troubles.
In whiskey [F#] bubbles.
Just looking for trouble.
[Bm] Well, there's no excuse for the things he did.
But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with.
[Em] Cause his dad's been drunk since he was a kid.
And I hope one day that I'll say to [D] him.
Put down those bubbles.
And that belt [F#] buckle.
And this broken bubble.
