Johnny was grown in a twisted broken down
one room shack in a the ghetto.
The going was rough and the ditch of survival
was getting steep in a the ghetto.

It was just robbing and stabbing
and looting and a shooting and it too bad.
A robbing and stabbing
and looting and a shooting and it too bad.
It was just robbing and stabbing
and looting and a shooting and its too bad.
You're robbing, stabbing
and looting and a shooting and its too bad.

Johnny grew tough
and his task of survival was to plunder
in a the ghetto.
Johnny never lost a fight
and he never, never stoop to conquer.
Johnny you too bad.

You just a robbing and stabbing
and looting and a shooting and you're too bad.
You just a robbing and stabbing
and looting and a shooting and you too bad.
You just a robbing and stabbing
and looting and a shooting and you too bad.
You just robbing, stabbing
and looting and a shooting and you too sad.

Now you're walking down the road
with a shotgun in your waist.
Johnny you too bad.
Johnny was so smart
that he never got caught in a cop chase.
Johnny you too bad.

You just a robbing and stabbing
and looting and a shooting and you're too bad.
You just a robbing and stabbing
and looting and a shooting and you too bad.

and looting and a shooting and you too bad.
You just robbing, stabbing
and looting and a shooting and you too sad.

Hey little wild one!
A beg you throw away your shotgun.
Johnny you too bad.
Whatcha gonna do
when you hear a little voice say:
Son, who you gonna run to?

You just a robbing and stabbing
and looting and a shooting and you too bad.
You just a robbing and stabbing
and looting and a shooting and you too sad.
You just a robbing and stabbing

You just a robbing, stabbing
and looting and a shooting and you too bad.

As smart as Johnny was strong
he was tricked, trapped, cornered and shot down
in a the ghetto.
Now all Johnny left behind
is a struggling woman and two sons
in a the ghetto.

Poor Johnny! He was too bad.
Poor Johnny! He was too sad.
Poor Johnny! Down here in the ghetto!
Poor Johnny! He was a little bit too bad.

Big bad Johnny had the good inside!
Though he was, though he was a wild one.

He would give to the weak ???
