Johnny Was

Johnny era un buen chicoJohnny was a good boy
Pero se metió con la gente equivocadaBut got messed up by the wrong crowd
A todos les caía bienEverybody liked him
Y hacía sentir orgullosa a su madreAnd he made his mother proud
Pero Johnny tenía un vicioBut Johnny had a habit
Y no era fumar crackAnd it wasn't smoking crack
En el lugar equivocado en el momento equivocadoIn the wrong place at the wrong time
Recibió un balazo en la espaldaHe took a bullet in the back

Johnny era un pandilleroJohnny was a gangster
Apenas con 13 años y un 45Just 13 with a 45
Vivía en un barrio donde luchas por sobrevivirHe was living in a neighborhood where you fight to stay alive
Johnny no quería escucharJohnny wouldn't listen
Le dijeron que se alejaraHe was told to get away
Ahora ha aprendido su lecciónNow he's learned his lesson
Mira lo que sucede cuando te quedasLook what happens when you stay
