It was I was walking home

Stepped through the gate and I'm all alone
Em
I had chicken on the plate but the food was cold
D
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
Em
I said You don't wanna know the things I had to do
Gm D5
She said Son you gotta tell me why you're black and blue

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
D
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
D
It's only gonna let you down
F#
Come the lightning and the thunder
Bm
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
Em
I had thick red blood running down my clothes

And a sick sick look 'cause I like it though

It was he was walking home
Em
With the blood on his hand from my broken nose

But like every other day he was scared to go
D
Back to his house 'cause his pops was home
F#
Drowning his troubles in whiskey bubbles

Just looking for trouble

Bm
Well there's no excuse for the things he did
Em
But there's a lot at home that he's dealing with

Because his dad's been drunk since he was a kid
D
And I hope one day that he'll say to him
F#
Put down those bubbles and that belt buckle
Bm
In this broken bubble

Em
Punch my face do it 'cause I like the pain
D
Every time you curse my name
F# Bm
I know you want the satisfaction it's not gonna happen
Em
Knock me out kick me when I'm on the ground
D
It's only gonna let you down
F#
Come the lightning and the thunder
Bm
You're the one who'll suffer suffer
