My Pal Johnny

[Verse 1]
Hands up, no, better yet
Put 'em behind your head
Up against the wall, y'all
No, better yet
Lay down on the bed
Shoulda listened stronger, hardhead
Makes a hard bed
First y'all
Let me get this straight

[Chorus]
Like anybody else, from time to time
I like to lose that weight
And fly, fly, fly for days
But this ain't for the smack
'Cause I ain't got no habit
Monkey don't own me
He's my pal, I'm an old friend
I don't mean the monkey
I mean Johnny

[Verse 2]
You so high riding, Brother Jim
So you burst
Whoever heard of a blood chitlin'
Wearin' a p-shirt?
Whoever heard of chitlin' blood
With a love pin?
Maybe it'll help you
With the law crossin' over
In fact by now you oughta know
Didn't cut no ice with brother man
Or brother Johnny
As the good book let you know
As you move into somebody else's turf
So you don't go

[Chorus]
Like anybody else, from time to time
I like to lose that weight
And fly, fly, fly for days
But this ain't for the smack
'Cause I ain't got no habit
Monkey don't own me
He's my pal, I'm an old friend
I don't mean the monkey
I mean Johnny

[Verse 3]
You could've made
Light on yourself brother, too
Some say Chad is the name of the game
But not brother Johnny
And you should move to Calgary
Too bad you gettin' message too late
By your vine, I bet you the type
That got the fan all on for days
But you still at head
Like a slave, for days
Dig, y'all
Didn't try to move in, did you?
Long as the man had the territory

[Chorus]
Like anybody else, from time to time
I like to lose that weight
And fly, fly, fly for days
But this ain't for the smack
'Cause I ain't got no habit
Monkey don't own me
He's my pal, I'm an old friend
I don't mean the monkey
I mean Johnny

[Verse 4]
Ladies ask
For the next time, sweet sugar
These bullets I bring on W-B-T
But gettin' black folks to
Bleed each other ain't easy
Y'all actin' like you didn't think
Back me was greasy
Brother Johnny's serious as a heart attack
Such a pretty little thing
Seems like always a good poon tang
It ain't Johnny's fault
You had to do the ghost
You was whine and whine
And whine and whine, adios!

[Chorus]
Like anybody else, from time to time
I like to lose that weight
And fly, fly, fly for days
But this ain't for the smack
'Cause I ain't got no habit
Monkey don't own me
He's my pal, I'm an old friend
I don't mean the monkey
I mean Johnny
