[Hook: John Givez]
Johnny Law got me at the green light
Johnny Law got me at the green light
Johnny Law got me at the green light
Johnny Law got me at the green light
(Yeah there go Johnny Law)
Johnny Law got me at the green light
Johnny Law got me at the green light
Johnny Law got me at the green light
Johnny Law got me at the green light
[Verse 1: John Givez]
Ok, I'm ridin' wit my partnas down Coast Highway feeling lightweight
Nervous cause the cop is right behind me
I made a right turn cause I'm tryna get my life right
If I make the wrong move, Johnny might have me life flighted
To the Tri-City' Hospital, 90's babies, yeah, what up
Mamma disappointed in me cause I'm wit the cut up
Young black boy wit a point to prove
My higher education was getting high with no school
Follow me, I can show you where the non-fiction friction be at
Fix ya face before you step to us or you get split-splat
Leaking on the ground we was rebels wit no cause
At the mall shoplifting for the thrill of it all
Got some homies now that's still livin' large
Ride around town wit the steel in they cars
But now I'm older and I learned from my mistakes
Mistake my look for crook is crazy
Cause I still get the shakes, when I see the Johnny Law
[Hook]
[Verse 2: John Givez]
Mamma why they wanna see me in a cell
Separate me from my family and give me hell, I'm havin' fun
Celebrate the fatal vanity of livin' numb and dying young
Is it my ways that make it so hard to run
I wanna make a change, they see me switching lanes
I'm bending corners cautiously can't get caught up in game
I think my mind playin' tricks on me, a ghetto boy
My daddy told me they would trip on me, I never listened
Now I'm wishing for a second chance
Don't wanna live my life like this, it's time to make amends
Before I fade away, Johnny Law
Looking for the suspect, I fade away
Why they wanna knock me from my hustle, like day to day
Livin' in a crazy world
They gave my brotha life and took him from his baby girl
And I know cause I got older and I learned from my mistakes
Mistake my look for crook is crazy
Cause I still get the shakes, when I see the Johnny Law
[Hook]
[Verse 3: John Givez & (Gracy Breslin)]
(Police drive by and watch us from the corner
"Watch out for those gangsters" that's what mamma told us
I-I just wanna see twenty-five
Ice cream truck comes around every once in a while
It's been along time since I've seen the neighborhood kids smile
I-I just wanna see twenty-five)
I know you're prolly thinkin' I'm another eulogy
Another n***a livin' like I got a fool in me
Daddy never wanted me to see the things I seen
Daddy don't you worry I'm about to be a King
Singing out
(I-I just wanna see twenty-five)
Tell the homies I been really thinkin' logical
Tell my P.O. I'll be checkin' in but not for long
You can call me square but I got it squared away
Police officer I ain't gon' go to jail today
Singing out
(I-I just wanna see twenty-five)
I'd like to make a statement, it's a new gang in town
Me, myself and I, I'm feeling really dangerous now
Rebel wit a soul it's a really crazy thing
Call me soul rebel I done had to change a name
Singing out
(I-I just wanna see twenty-five)
[Outro: Murdocc]
If I could do it all again
I would choose better friends
Better friends
If I could do it all again
I would find other ways to make my ends
Make my ends
If I could do it all again
I would be doing something else
Something else
If I could do it all again
I would find better ways to spend my ends
Spend my ends
