Johnny Was
Johnny was a good boy
But got messed up by the wrong crowd
Everybody liked him
And he made his mother proud
But Johnny had a habit
And it wasn't smoking crack
In the wrong place at the wrong time
He took a bullet in the back
Johnny was
Johnny was
Johnny was a gangster
Just 13 with a 45
He was living in a neighborhood where you fight to stay alive
Johnny wouldn't listen
He was told to get away
Now he's learned his lesson
Look what happens when you stay
Johnny was
Johnny was
Johnny was
Johnny was
Johnny Era
Johnny era um bom garoto
Mas se perdeu na companhia errada
Todo mundo gostava dele
E ele deixava a mãe orgulhosa
Mas Johnny tinha um vício
E não era fumar crack
No lugar errado na hora errada
Ele levou um tiro nas costas
Johnny era
Johnny era
Johnny era um gangster
Só 13 anos com uma 45
Ele vivia em um bairro onde você luta pra sobreviver
Johnny não ouvia
Disseram pra ele se afastar
Agora ele aprendeu a lição
Olha o que acontece quando você fica
Johnny era
Johnny era
Johnny era
Johnny era
