But I only grip necks when a brother's on the B-side of some safe sex
That means the A-side I flip and commence 2 penetrate with the... (Oh)
Ooh, yeah ha
But enough about my propers
Brothers write 2 much about how they been endowed, boy
And God, I've been blessed with just enough 2 get the job done
Check it just like Ford (What?) - "Quality is job one"
2 get a grip, U need a handle, not a breaker 1 2
2 much said on the airwaves cause 2 much scandal
See, things got funny when I made my money
Why brothers got jelly when pockets get fat?
Their pockets equal fly honeys
An equation that just don't figure
Cuz Tone is quick 2 bust a bubble on the butt of a gold digger
(So what U sayin'?)
U see, I worked 2 hard 4 this honey dip (Honey dip)
Check it, get a grip
Oh Tony, that was great
No no, serious shit, man, that was great
I'm telling U, believe me when I say
That this is just... this is rap at its finest
Yes, I'm tellin' U, U know
(Who is this dude, man? Go on, get outta the way)
Alright, I just wanna...
(Get outta here!)
Johnny needs a Jim (Jimmy needs a job) {x3}
Johnny needs a Jim (Yo, let me borrow a couple of those)
Take a few packs Tone
I ain't goin out like that, U know what I'm sayin'?
Who got the 'lactics? (Gots 2 be protected)
Who got the 'lactics? (Ain't go'n rain on me!)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!) {repeat 4 times}

Bring on number 1, bring on number 2
Someone wants to blow up the planet
Johnny wants to find out why
Johnny did a show in St. Louis
Love came through the sky.
Oh yeah, they were camped out,
Waiting for the sun to rise
Oh yeah, Johnny sang out
Love into the sky.
Johnny found a place out in Texas
Waiting for him to come
Made himself a reservation
And hope came, in the gun.
Oh yeah, he was flying,
Waiting for the sun to rise
Oh yeah, color by numbers
Waiting for the sun to rise.
Johnny did some time in the army
Johnny did a stint in Vietnam.
Now he can't forget it,
His mind is confused,
slipping from his twisted hand.
Oh yeah, he's still back there
With one hand on the gun
Oh yeah, he's still back there
Waiting for the rising sun.
Now Johnny
likes to go down the highway
The wind singing in his ears
Right up as
most things go whirring by
By day everything looks clear.
Oh yeah, Johnny ride on
Gonna find a special home
Oh yeah, down the highway
When I think of Johnny
I remember the spring
I remember his laughter
And the way he would sing
Oh! How I loved Johnny
With my heart
I loved Johnny
Oh! How I loved Johnny
But he never knew
I prayed that he'd travel
Through the winter's wild storm
And he'd kiss me
And hold me
So close and so warm
He left with leaves falling
Falling dead to the ground
And no more will I ever
Hear his sweet laughing sound
But he never knew
But he never knew
But he never knew
Somewhere on the waterfront
Johnny's hiding with a gun
Swears he'll kill any man that tells his story
He's not sorry for what he's done
He broke into a drugstore
Just to cure his daily need
Didn't mean to shoot the guard
But he was blinded by the greed
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
You see that nun, she's his sister
She doesn't know that he's gone bad
When they told it to his father
It drove the old man mad
Just like his mother warned him
From her dying bed
It's alright to lose your heart
But never lose your head
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
Now the cops have got him surrounded
And he doesn't stand a hope
He wonders how he could be in so much trouble
Over just a little dope
Five to one he gets away
That's the odds I'm going to give
Five to four they blast him away
Three to one he's going to live
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny, you better run
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
Back in the alley where he was slain
Thought I heard something move
Beside the trash can lay a heart and chain
The picture had been removed
Just another [Incomprehensible]
Looking for a bed
It's alright to lose your heart
But never lose your head
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
Oh Johnny
I can hear them talking as I'm walking down the street
They're saying, "You're a fool, got to get back on your feet"
You tried so hard to keep her love and don't know what to do
And ever since she left your life, she left you feeling blue
Johnny try to forget her
Maybe you better, then you won't feel so blue
Johnny try to forget her
It wasn't forever, what else can you do?
Johnny, don't feel blue
Oh Johnny, it's up to you
She left your life a year ago, and you're still by yourself
Put all your feelings in a case then you put it on the shelf
You tried so hard to keep her love, your life has fallen through
You know you made a big mistake, you're still feeling blue
Johnny try to forget her
Maybe you better, then you won't feel so blue
Johnny try to forget her
It wasn't forever, what else can you do?
Johnny, don't feel blue
Oh Johnny, it's up to you
You tried so hard to keep her love and don't know what to do
And ever since she left your life, she left you feeling blue
Johnny try to forget her
Maybe you better, then you won't feel so blue
Johnny try to forget her
It wasn't forever, what else can you do?
Johnny, don't feel blue
Oh Johnny, it's up to you
I said Johnny try to forget her
Maybe you better, then you won't feel so blue
Johnny try to forget her

Johnny cut his hair, now he looks like a punk
with buttons pinned all over his clothes
he got all the albums by the B-52
sometimes he's a one man show
went to NYC to join the crowd
identity was what he need
trouble was, that everybody looked the same
purpose was a total defeat
when there's nothing new, we look for the old
and everybody catches on yeah
all we want to be, is part of the crowd
whether it's right or wrong
what's the use of being yourself
when it seems that no one cares
and if you're a clone of someone else
there is nothing left to compare
when there's nothing new, we look for the old
and everybody catches on yeah
all we want to be, is part of the crowd
{So, are you gonna throw the tape?
Ha, ha, ha
On your head for a half
Ha, ha, ha
Hold on I've got somethin' goin' on my shoulders
Ha, ha, ha
I love that song}
Ha, ha, ha

Do you miss your father?
Oh and Johnny, do you miss me?

And I was so hungry
And that mean no I'll never, I'll never look back
Oh Johnny
Sometimes I wonder
Sometimes I wonder
And I, and I
Wonder what it's like, to die?
No, no, you see I could, I, I could've been a star, I could
I, I could've been a whip
I tell ya somethin' else right now, right now, John
I would, we could, we could've been
Sailin' along on our ship
Is this ring, that he wore?
It's just another thing, that he wore
But there's somethin' about this ring that
I, I jus', I, I jus', I just can't ignore
An' so I keep it though I don't no where it's from
Oh Johnny
Do you miss all the old ladies?
Do you miss all of the crazies?
Oh and Johnny, do you miss me?
Oh Johnny
Do you miss your mother?
Do you miss your father?
Oh Johnny there's something
There's something that I'd like to know
And I, and I

Johnny, Johnny
Oh, oh, oh

{Wow
Johnny was a good boy
According to his mother
But when she wasn' t looking yeah
Johnny became a bad boy
He got into drugs yeah
Oh poor Johnny
One day he double-crossed
And it cost him his life
She couldn' t believe it
When she saw him lying
On the ground
In a pool of blood yeah
Her only son
Her only hope yeah!!
Oh Johnny
With her hands above her head
She cried Johnny Johnny
How can you do something
Like that to me Oh she cried
And said
Chorus:
Oh Johnny you broke my heart
Oh Johnny you made me cry
Her only hope her only boy
Lying on the ground
In a pool of blood
She said Johnny remember
How I raised you boy?
You could have been a doctor
You could have been a teacher
Oh Johnny
With her hands above her head
She cried Johnny
How can you do something
Like this to me
She said I took you
To the best schools
In the country boy
Spent my last dime on you
Johnny
Thought you would be
My shoulder
To cry on Johnny
Her only boy her only son
Lying on the ground
In a pool of blood
She couldn' t hold back
Her tears
Oh Johnny
With her hands above her head
She cried Johnny Johnny
How can you do something
Like that to me
Oh she cried
Chorus till fade
Johnny was a hustler, drove a custom Continental
The girls called him daddy, down sugar, get down or run
along
Kate, good big Johnny was bein' that straight
So late, Kate had to pick up some money that should
have been paid
Johnny, Johnny, the woman works your nerves, boy
Your pride Johnny, your pride got disturbed, boy
Johnny, Johnny, the woman works your nerves, boy
Your pride Johnny, Johnny
Johnny don't like Ruthers, Kate got his morter gun
Boys get the word out, find out where Kate's gone
having fun
Kate made the mistake of going to see Jerome
Johnny's boys broke down the door and shot 'em while
they were alone
Johnny, Johnny, the woman works your nerves, boy
Your pride Johnny, your pride got disturbed, boy
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
(Solo)
Oh Kate made the mistake of going to see Jerome
Johnny's boys broke down the door and shot 'em while
they were alone
Johnny, Johnny, the woman works your nerves, boy
Your pride Johnny, your pride got disturbed, boy
Dit is het lied van Johnny
Johnny was de bink van onze straat
Hield erg veel van knokken
Van zuipen en van gokken
Maar zag mij als zijn beste maat
Ik weet nog hoe ik tegen Johnny opkeek
Twee meter en altijd geld op zak
Niet dat hij dat verdiende
Maar hij had wat foute vrienden
En die leerden hem het vak
Johnny, Johnny
Je bent alles kwijt
Je bent verleden tijd
En ik weet da'k je nooit meer zie
's Ochtends in het posagentschap
Liep ik voor het laatst tegen hem op
Ik zei nog: Ha die John!
Wat een mooi kanon
Maar waarom heb je die kous op je kop
Johnny kreeg ruim 10 jaren
De rechter gaf hem nog een laatste woord
En met opgeheven hoofd
Heeft John ons toen beloofd:
Gratis drinken over 10 jaar bij de Poort!
Ja, mensen, dit was het lied van Johnny
Johnny, die kreeg je niet snel gek
Maar één maand in de bajes
Tussen al het echte gajes
En 't was over... voor Johnny
En daar hing hij, met die kous om z'n nek
It's another day at school and he's just walking out the door
Got his ruck sack on his back and his feet dragging on the floor
Always late, but when he's questioned he can't think of what to say
Hides the bruises from the teachers hoping that they go away
Even though his mom and dad they both got problems of their own
Caught in a catch 22 but he'd still rather be at home
Crys himself to sleep and prays when he wakes up things might have changed
But everythings still the same
(But didn't you say) You always said that I should speak up, Mmm....
But it seems like all the things you said to me before mean nothing at all
Because...
I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me
Thats why I'm late for school (but you never listen)
Instead you always seem to end up blaming me for things I didn't do (For what it's worth)
I didn't even want to tell you anything incase it made things worse (Just so you know)
Every time I say that Johnny's hitting me
Hey Mom and Dad it hurts
Everyday keeps on repeating like the record on replay
Slowly getting off the bus with Johnny waiting at the gates
Like a friend smiling and waiveing and called him out his name
Put his arm around his neck whats up now gimme all your change
Too afraid to make a scene or plead with him to let him go
He just takes whatevers coming, feels the pain with every blow
Trys in vain to make himself be heard as soon as he gets home
But everythings still the same...
(But didn't you say) You always said that I should speak up, Mmm....
But it seems like all the things you said to me before mean nothing at all
Because...
I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me
Thats why I'm late for school (but you never listen)
Instead you always seem to end up blaming me for things I didn't do (For what it's worth)
I didn't even want to tell you anything incase it made things worse (Just so you know)
Every time I say that Johnny's hitting me
Hey Mom and Dad it hurts
You always said that I should speak up, Mmm...
And to never be afraid to come and tell you if I needed to talk (If I needed to talk, Yeah)
Well I don't know the meaning of love, Mmm...
Cause it seems like all the things you said to me before mean nothing at all
(Mean nothing at all)
Because....
I keep telling you that Johnny's hitting me
Thats why I'm late for school (but you never listen)
Instead you always seem to end up blaming me for things I didn't do (For what it's worth)
I didn't even want to tell you anything incase it made things worse (Just so you know)
Every time I say that Johnny's hitting me
Just let me say this Johnny man, you hold my utter most respect.
And in my vision we are brothers.
It's you and us against the world.
Don't be scared now Johnny man, what said is said and I regret.
We need to hold this together now.
We need need to set this one straight.
Johnny, we're sorry.
Won't you come on home now?
We miss you.
Won't you come on?
A little boy lived in the shadow of an iron might The gates were opened in the morning closed again at night He was playing hunt for treasure in the lonely street And the treasure he looked for was something for to eat
His clothes were torn his face was dirty he was quite forlorn The trucks that gathered up his parents came for them at dawn
Johnny,Johnny,Johnny - sing your song Johnny,Johnny,Johnny, sing your song
There was song and there was dancing a long long time ago Now there´s terror in the waiting for tomorrow
Johnny,Johnny,Johnny - sing your song Johnny,Johnny,Johnny, sing your song
Hunger, sickness fear and hoping lurk behind the gate Sometimes laughter sometimes crying love and sometimes hate Johnny sang his song all day to cover up his fear Johnny sang his song and hoped the outside world would hear
Johnny, tu n'es pas un ange
Ne crois pas que ca m'derange
Jour et nuit je pense a toi
Toi tu te souviens de moi
Au moment ou ca t'arrange
Et quand revient le matin
Tu t'endors sur mon chagrin
Johnny, tu n'es pas un ange
Johnny, Johnny si tu etais plus galant
Johnny, Johnny je t'aimerais tout autant
Johnny, tu n'es pas un ange
Ne crois pas que ca m'derange
Quand tu me reveilles la nuit
C'est pour dire que tu t'ennuies
Et quand revient le matin
Tu t'endors sur mon chagrin
Johnny, tu n'es pas un ange
Johnny, Johnny si tu etais plus galant
Johnny, Johnny je t'aimerais tout autant
Johnny, tu n'es pas un ange
Apres tout qu'est-ce que ca change
L'Homme saura toujours trouver
Toutes les femmes du monde entier
Pour lui chanter ses louanges
Des qu'il en sera lasse
Elles seront vite oubliees
Vraiment vous n'etes pas des anges
Johhny, Johnny depuis que le monde est ne

He met her in a bar, she liked his fancy car
He looked into her jugs and knew right then he wanted her
Took her to the railroad tracks and from there was no turning back
(chorus)
Oh Johnny, say it ain't so, Johnny (x4)
He got up the next day told his friends he'd been laid
Hurry off to his high school to take some tests and get some grades
Itchin', scratchin all day long, something here is very wrong
(chorus)
The important thing that Johnny didn't see
was that behind those pretty eyes was a venereal disease
He looked into her eyes and fell into the trap
Thought he'd gotten loving but she'd given him the clap
He went to see the doctor, he told him, "son you're fucked"
You didn't wear no Jimmy hat and now your goose is really cooked
Thought you'd get by without cover, got fucked over by your lover
(chorus)
music: Joey Vera, lyrics: Jack Frost
Take a gun and kill them all
Watch the pain inside them when they fall
Have no fear, you are God
Johnny controls the tornment for one and all
I'm the one you dream of
Dark hatred that they scream of
The one you want to be now
I'm alive inside you
Hey Johnny, ha ha ha ha
Taste the blood that's on your hands
Now your soul will reach the promised land
Denied the future, relinquish the past
Johnny's finally your master here at last
I'm the one you dream of
Dark hatred that they scream of
The one you want to be now
I'm alive inside you
Run run for your life now
Hide until the sun
Run, run from the night now
Until the morning comes
I'm the one you dream of
Dark hatred that they scream of
The one you want to be now
I'm alive inside you
Run run for your life now
Hide until the sun
Run, run from the night now
Until the morning comes
Run run for your life now
Hide until the sun
Run, run from the night now
Until the morning comes
Run run for your life now
Hide until the sun
Run, run from the night now
Johnny can't read
Johnny can't write
Johnny didn't have much of a life
Oh yeah - oh yeah
His father told him to be a marine
To fight their war he didn't believe in
Oh yeah - oh yeah
Johnny told his father, he just could not
He don't wanna live that way
Oh yeah - oh yeah
Johnny always thought there was something wrong
Day by day singing his fathers song
Johnny didn't want to live his life that way
Now day to day, dying the military way
Johnny was rough, Johhny was tough
But not tough enough, to just say no
Johnny went down to sign up that day
They sent him down to basic training
Johnny went to a foreign land
He died in the hands of a foreign man
We will always remember Johnny in his last days
Johnny
Johnny's a child, we better watch out
was top of the class before he was even born
Johnny was hard, he was nails, we were not
and when he opened his mouth, then out came the foghorn
Gimme your money or I'll have ya
Gimme some food or your dead
Gimme the answers to your homework
Gimme gimme gimme gimme
Stuck in such a funny place
has no name, no time, no space
heading for the pavement once again
been here many times before
between the ceiling and the floor
heading for the pavement once again
Oh dear I'm back here again (now I'm back again)
Oh dear I'm back here again (now I'm back again, now I'm back again)
Johnny
Johnny was mean
captain of the rugby team
six feet tall with a fist like a bowling ball
Johnny was mad, mad, Johnny was bad
he was hungry for blood and he screamed down my earhole
Gimme your money or I'll have ya gimme some food or your dead
gimme the answers to your homework
gimme gimme gimme gimme
stuck in such a funny place
has no name, no time, no space
heading for the pavement once again

between the ceiling and the floor
heading for the pavement once again
Oh dear I'm back here again (now I'm back again)
Johnny
Gimme your money or I'll have ya
gimme some food or your dead
gimme the answers to your homework
gimme gimme gimme gimme
I'm falling
Stuck in such a funny place

between the ceiling and the floor
heading for the pavement once again
Oh dear I'm back here again (now I'm back again)
Johnny, how's the Navy? I hear you're doing well. Didn't you get trained to fly those fighter planes? They'll send you to kosovo in a week or two. Johnny, why you gonna go? Do you really know? You say no. There's a war that's going on, they say it's a brand new Vietnam. Don't you feel proud to be an American now? The same GI bill that put you through college put amillions boys in the graves. Dont you feel proud to be an American now? God bless the good ole USA.
Johnny shot to the moon
It's on the nightly news
There's nothing I can do
Johnny shot to the moon
Johnny's got something to say
Johnny's not, he's not coming down today
Johnny thought things would always be the same
Oh no, no, no things can't always be the same
Johnny shot through the roof
No one can get through
Come and see the proof
That Johnny shot through the roof
When you wake up in a war
Torn between your heart and head
Who will win, who'll be defeated?
Johnny, I quit keeping score
Now there's no one left to blame
No one left to leave you cheated
Johnny shot to the moon
I guess it's nothing new
It's sad to say but it's true
Johnny 's in the backroom, looking for some matches,
Wanna smoke a cigarette, play a little bocce.
Sun is out shinning, out on the boulevard.
Skates out, tides up.
Lets go to the liquor store.
40 ounce, tequila, whiskey, tanqueray.
Smoke a little buddha then,
Everything is okay,
Ride onto the beach now,
Listen to some good sounds,
Bass up, beers up, everybody get down.
We used to wake up and go down, for a walk.
We used to break up and take back, what you want.

There was Johnny like a stranger
Living in a small town
Measuring the small time
He was thinner than a razor
Johnny in a small town
Living with his thumb on the trigger
Wishing he could be
Just a little bit bigger
Bored
To the heart of himself
He was trouble in the making
Trouble in the keeping
History repeating
He was walking into danger
Johnny in a small town
Looking for a light in the tunnel
Creeping in the dark and
Doubting that the sun'll
Shine
To the heart of himself
And he tells himself it'll be alright
Happiness is just around the corner
And he tells himself
It'll be okay
Happiness is just a life away
She was pretty as a picture
Shining in a window
Everybody said so
What did johnny have to give her
Johnny in a small town
Putting on a suit he had borrowed
Knowing she would probably
Leave him tomorrow
Weak and alone with himself
And he tells himself it'll be alright
Happiness is just around the corner
And he tells himself
It'll be okay
Happiness is just a life away
Everything is different but
It's all the same to him
Everything is nothing like it was
Before she came
Before she stayed
And went away
She left Johnny like a stranger
Waiting in a small town
Measuring the small time
Nights were longer than the days were
Living in a small town
Looking for a door he could open
Hoping that he wouldn't break until he broken
Free
To the heart of himself
And he tells himself it'll be alright
Happiness is just around the corner
And he tells himself
It'll be okay
Happiness is just a life away
And he tells himself it'll be alright
Happiness is just around the corner
And he tells himself
It'll be okay
Happiness is just a life away
A life away
Johnny's pissed his ex-girlfriend that he misses
ran off with his friend
aint it hard looking back back on all the memories
when you know it was pretend
dont feel bad for me at I'm standing tall
and I aint missing you at all
I let go
thinking back to when I was in High School
things were so much different there
who'd of thought that bein cool
came down to clothes you wear
spend all your time hanging at malls
and I aint missing you at all
I let go
Y'a tellement de dieux sur terre
Y'en a s?rement un qui veillera sur nous
Qui veillera sur notre amiti?
Qu'on veut garder sans se mettre ? genoux
La vie nous a dit
Choisis un chemin qui sera bien ? toi
Toi ta religion t'a donn? un chemin
Qu'on a choisi pour toi
Hey on ?tait si tranquilles Johnny
Tu n'es pas imb?cile
Tu t'es fait embarquer
Faudrait se parler
Si tu m'aimes encore fais-moi donc un signe
Si tu m'aimes encore fais-moi donc un signe
Ton gourou insecte t'a piqu?
Te voil? bien allergique a nous
Ton gourou ton loup-garou
Te garde dans sa meute loin de nous
Hey on ?tait si tranquilles Johnny
Tu n'es pas imb?cile
Tu t'es fait embarquer
Faudrait se parler
Si tu m'aimes encore fais-moi donc un signe
Si tu m'aimes encore fais-moi donc un signe
Si tu m'aimes encore fais-moi donc un signe
Si tu m'aimes encore fais-moi donc un signe
Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny
Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny
Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny
Johnny's gonna have some fun
Johnny's gonna play with them
Johnny's gonna get a gun
Johnny's gonna have to run
When he blows his wife and kids away
Sitting in his room not way to long
And johnny knew something was wrong
They found her body in the bed
With a hole right trough her head
Johnny, I've been good
Don't you think you could
hear me call you, soft and low
Johnny, don't you go
Baby, I've been sad
lost the love I had
What's that whistlin round the bend?
just the wind, cold wind.
Come out of those wild woods
when night skies draw near
Stick close to that dusty road,
you're all I hold dear
Johnny, you've been bad
heard you went quite mad
you can wander, you can roam
where's your home? no home.
Bridge
What's that way up high?
comin' cross the sky
dark night folds its arms round mine
think I'll take that ride
I can't hear you call my name
Your arms and legs, are blown to bits
and your face is just the shits
You're never gonna walk again
Always feeling hate and sin
Fought the good fight for your land
and now you're dying by it's hand
You're living out your last cruel fate
Don't matter, it's too late
They make you blind ...
to lend a hand
They make you fight ...
for your land
They make you suffer ...
in cruel horror
They make you die ...
fortheir honor
Fightfor conquest
No way!
Die for freedom?
No way!
Kill for honor?
No way!
NO WAY!!!
Now you're crippled, insane and numb
Now what do you got of your freedom?
You tought so hard for the victory
but what you got, but hate and misery?
The only winners in every war
are the generals gaining ever more ...
You're the loser of every war
Eu conheci Johnny
Johnny o desordeiro
Ele anarquizava o mundo inteiro
Era o cara mais punk
Que eu já conheci
Ele agitava como eu nunca vi
Toda a polícia de Londres
Dele estava atrás
Pelo espancamento
De um pobre rapaz
Todo mundo queria
Por no seu pescoço um laço
Pelo estupro de uma mina cabaço
Mas um dia tudo terminou
Johnny foi preso
Extraditado pro Brasil
Aquele país que está na corda bamba
Que só tem carnaval, futebol e samba
Um país idiota
Cheio de moleques
Onde ainda se toca discoteque
Isso para Johnny foi uma praga forte
Ele preferia uma sentença de morte
O navio não deixou o porto
Johnny já está pra lá de morto
Johnny, Johhhnnnnnnyyyyyy...
[Intro: Rular Ruh]
Uh-huh, Rular Rah, hundred bars
It's a warning, for real, come on
I'm in this right now... it doesn't matter
What neighborhood...
[Chorus: sample]
Johnny didn't run, Johnny got his gun
Just like everyone, in the name of God
Ahhhhh, and Johnny didn't run...
[Rular Rah]
When I pop the trunk, that means that I'm ready to dump
With some AK hollows that'll cherish you chumps
You better give up, floating in the Hudson River
I got a real itchy finger and it loves the trigger
Don't get it twisted, this is no motion picture
Make your dreams go away with your hopes and wishes
I rose the gold, paper in the triple digits
And I stand real tall, y'all think small as midgets
I warned you dicks, Rular rep the east and west
And got goons on my payroll that'll eat your chest
I breathe respect, I told you this was dangerous
And the well known fact, you can't fuck with us
So turn me up...
[Chorus]
[Rular Rah]
Around here, it ain't nothing sweet
And I'mma let you know a couple of things, don't fuck with me
Big screen so the trucks can see, just luxury
So don't make things u-g-ly
I bust heat for the code of the streets, I'm cold as can be
And pack a mack eleven pound of weed
Breathe deep or get put to sleep, I'm playing for keeps
You suckers yap but what y'all talk is cheap
Bitch nigga, get up off of me, I'm just released
So give me room while I cock and squeeze
Splat ya brain like pasta cheese, straight Ruckerway, Queens
The ambulance'll cut you out of your jeans
The doctors returning all of your things, no heart, no pulse
Use your brains, when you're fucking with me
The doctors return all of your things
No heart, no pulse, use your brains, when you fucking with me, nigga
[Chorus]
[Rular Rah]
It's a reason why I talk like this, the way I dress
The way I look, stay focused, and I walk like this
I'm from a place where dreams don't exist
Everyday a new crime, a new body scratched off the list
This ain't love, this the way life is, it ain't the kids
It's the guns and the drugs that make life like this
The state we living is so priceless
I can't go to the park and play ball, because my moms is sick
I got a hit to lick, I'm tired of this shit
Same clothes, no food, it ain't fair, I thought my pop dukes cared
At twelve, I was considered a man
I gotta do anything to make a meal, I gotta think of a plan
It's like my feet would just sink in the sand
I'm on the streets everyday, try'nna make it, asking God for a chance
But on a mission, I gotta walk like a man
I was born by myself, so I guess I gotta go like I came, Johnny
Johnny lost his job today. They told him not to come
again. 'Didn't like it anyway', but that ain't what he
really meant. Johnny lost jis job today. Facial
expression tells it all. Another place where he can't
stay, someone had to take the fall. At the busstop Johnny
tries to think of a way to tell his wife that he got
sacked. What will they be living from? This month's rent
is due to come tomorrow. Johnny lost his job today but he
never lost his pride. That motherfucker's gonna pay
Don't hide your heart behind the wall
Don't walk alone in grey and dark nights
Look to the sky and you'll be allright
There is a sun for you to shine
Lookat yourself, what do you see?
A childhood fear to be alone, maybe a heart
Without a home, but someone's waiting there for you.
Morning sky let me touch your golden sunlight
Let me dream away the dark night, let me ride
Your silver cloud, morningsky promise me you
Live tomorrow push away my pain and sorrow
In God's golden morning sky.
Be like a river wide and strong, don't be afraid
To trust a friend, so let your life be like a song
Sing with a feeling in your heart.
Tu es parti là-bas sans savoir pourquoi
Je ne crois pas que tu cherchais la gloire
T'avais peut-être seulement du mal à jouer le jeu
Dans ta petite ville sans histoire
On Va dit que là-bas la cause était juste
Qu'il fallait vaincre à tout prix
Puis c'est facile de laisser les autres penser pour soi
Alors sans savoir pourquoi tu es parti.
Mais c'est bientôt fini Johnny
Vois-tu encore le soleil?
C'est bientôt fini Johnny
Sens-tu venir le sommeil?
Toi qui lisais les bandes dessinées
Et te voyais en surhomme vainqueur
Là-bas dans l'enfer des forêts vertes
Tu as appris à connaître la peur
Tu as appris à manier des armes nouvelles
A brûler les femmes et les enfants
Tu n'aimais pas ça mais on n'a pas le choix
Et la peur est un maître exigeant.
Mais c'est bientôt fini Johnny
Vois-tu encore le soleil?
C'est bientôt fini Johnny
Sens-tu venir le sommeil?
Les soirs de chaleur dans le quartier réservé
Tu dégueulais toute ta bile
Tu creusais le vide du désespoir
Dans tes ébats virils
Mais souvent tu pensais à une après-midi
Où tu l'a vue dans un bistrot
C'était un peu pour elle que t'avais oublié la bande
Et les cuites du samedi soir.
Mais c'est bientôt fini Johnny
Vois-tu encore le soleil?
C'est bientôt fini Johnny
Sens-tu venir le sommeil?
Entends-tu Johnny les avions s'en aller
Ils retourne maintenant à leurs bases
Ils ont tout lâché et leurs bombes sont tombées
Sur toi Johnny et tes camarades
Oui c'est comme ça absurde et cruel
Je crois comprendre que tu commences à comprendre
Mais c'est un peu tard, oui, un peu tard
La nuit commence à descendre.
Maintenant c'est fini Johnny
Tes yeux se ferment déjà
Maintenant c'est fini Johnny
Johnny (oh, yeah),
You got it all figured out
Johnny (oh, yeah),
You know just how to go about
You flash you smile (oh, baby) And keep your cool
Johnny (oh, yeah),
You've got the style and the touch
Johnny (oh, yeah),
I'd say you're almost too much...
It's clear to see (oh, baby) You know I was fool
Oh, I love the way you pamper me
Everything's is how it ought to be
Candle light and pink champagne on ice
A certain glance just once or twice
And the music is so very right
As you whisper: "We got time all night",
I admit you are a perfect host
Your care for me deserves a toast
Johnny (oh, yeah),
You got it all figured out
Johnny (oh, yeah),
You know just how to go about
You flash you smile (oh, baby) And keep your cool
How romantic near the fireplace
You and I together face to face
Guess you're certain I'm no match for you
I'll do what all the others do
Much as I admire your strategy
I'm afraid it just won't work with me
If there's something that I don't enjoy
It's being treated like a toy
Johnny, oh, yeah,
You thought that you have a ball
Johnny, oh, yeah,
You know that you can't win them all
So please be kind (oh, baby) And take me home
Johnny, oh, yeah,
La-la-la-la la-la-la
Johnny, oh, yeah,
La-la-la-la la-la-la
Johnny is a boy he spends all day in a pub
Drinking coffee drinking whiskey
He couldn't live without.
He is just a boy and his life is just a joy
Nobody belived the bottle was
His first joy
Johnny, Johnny if you really dare
Then he met a girl
The one with hemeroids
He tried to lick her ass
She gave to him no choice
Who the fuck are you?
To tell me what to do
Go the fuck away and never cross my way
With drinking all the day
The problems are gone away
He was so confused
Like every other day
He is just a boy
Murder
In the first degree
Sitting by your side
Death
Causes fear
A young woman dies
In the night
Johnny's a killing machine
Desire
Creeping up on you
A boy turns to a man
Obsession
Take control
Child reach out your hand
In the night
Johnny's a killing machine
(chorus:)
Johnny can you kill her?
Johnny can you kill her?
Johnny can you kill her?
Johnny could you kill for me?
Murder
In the first degree
Sitting by your side
Death
Causes fear
A young woman dies
In the night
Johnny's a killing machine
Johnny was a pretty nice boy, living in this tempting messy room.
But, oh, I cried like hell today, because he didn't no thing no what to say
When I had my hair curled
Well they say: try it change when it starts to hurt. And it's should have been a slogan on his favourite shirt.
I have to wake up in the middle of the night and I say oh oh oooh
Could you hold me, hold me tight or go go goo
Cause I've always tried to understand you but I think your dreams won't last
Cause you're all alone in your crazy world and you'll go nowhere
The victory march you might had when I'm on a road alone
I buy your drink, I sit and wait no I don't have to listen what a birdy say, I love, I go, I proof this isn't so.
So damn hard to decide what to do, when someone's walking over you
I have to wake up in the middle of the night and I say oh oh oooh
Could you hold me, hold me tight or go go goo
Cause I've always tried to understand you but I think your dreams won't last
Cause you're all alone in your crazy world and you'll go nowhere
And then we'll steer a course for a brand new day
Baby I feel fine I you know what to say
I have to wake up in the middle of the night and I say oh oh oooh
Could you hold me, hold me tight or go go goo
Cause I've always tried to understand you but I think your dreams won't last
Cause you're all alone in your crazy world and you'll go nowhere
Johnny she'll get under your skin
and she won't let no-one else in.
She'll take you up and suck you dry
and go onto the next guy.
Johnny don't believe her
Johnny don't believe her oh no
Johnny don't believe her
'Cause she'll eat you up and
She'll treat you like the fool you feel
ooooh lad she did it to me
Yeah yeah yeah you will understand misery
Jonny all she does is lies
Jonny all she says is lies
Jonny all she does is lies
Jonny all she says is lies
Johnny she'll get under your skin
and she won't let no-one else in.
She'll take you up and suck you dry
and go onto the next guy.
Yeah hey hey hey
She's with you
but shes over
Johnny don't believe her
Johnny don't believe her oh no
Johnny don't believe her
'Cause she'll eat you up and
She'll treat you like the fool you feel
ooooh lad she did it to me
Yeah yeah yeah you will understand misery
Jonny all she does is lies
Jonny all she says is lies
Jonny all she does is lies
Jonny all she says is lies
Jonny all she does is lies
Jonny all she says is lies
Jonny all she does is lies
Jonny all she says is lies
Jonny all she does is lies
Jonny all she says is lies
Jonny all she does is lies
Jonny all she says is lies
I see you in schoolWith your shiny black hair
I thought you were cool
Johnny
You once gave me a rose
I thought you liked me
But it was only a pose
Johnny, you've broken my heart
It's bleeding like a plum
That's really juicy and leaks on your shirt
Johnny, can't you see that I'm hurt?
Johnny, can't you see that I'm hurt?
Johnny
Why won't you go steady with me?
You're an asshole
Why can't you see?
Johnny
Why were you holding her hand?
You're a douchebag
And you don't understand
Johnny
I'm not bitter towards you
I just hate you
And everything you do
Johnny
I'm not bitter about it
I've accepted that you're
A big piece of shit
Johnny
Johnny
