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.

    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.
