Johnny was grown in a twisted broken down one room shack in-a the ghetto
|
The going was tough and the ditch of survival was getting steep in-a the ghetto
|
|
It was robbing and stabbing and
|
Looting and a shooting and its too bad
|
It was just robbing and stabbing and
|
And a shooting and its too bad (rep.)
|
|
Johnny grew tough, and his task of survival was to plunder in-a the ghetto
|
Johnny never lost no fight and he never never stoop to conquer Johnny you too bad
|
You just a robbing and stabbing a
|
Looting and a shooting and you too bad, too bad
|
You just a robbing and stabbing
|
Looting and a shooting and you sad. (rep.)
|
|
Now you walking down the road with a shotgun in your waist
|
Johnny you too bad.
|
Johnny was so smart that he never caught in a cop chase
|
Johnny you too bad.
|
|
Hey little wild one a beg you throw
|
Away you shot-gun Johnny you too bad.
|
What you gonna do when you hear
|
A voice say son, who you gonna run to.
|
|
You just a robbing and stabbing a looting and a shooting and you to bad, too bad
|
You just a robbing and stabbing looting and a shooting and you to sad. (rep.)
|
|
As smart as Johnny was strong he
|
Was tricked trapped cornered and
|
Shot down ina the ghetto
|
Now all Johnny left behind is a
|
Struggling woman and two sons.
|
In-a the ghetto.
|
