Am[Speech]
Fmaj7Ladies and gentlemen,
This is the big Gmoment
We've all been waiting Amfor.
Who is the big Fstar of the year?G  Am  
Here they are..
[Verse 1]
Check it out, it's eleven thirty,
My Fhand is getting dirty.
GSnatching up things
That Amprob'bly can't be worth it,
Now Fthis is a vision of a Gviolent life.
AmLiving by a gun, and toting up a knife.
Now I'm slamming doors, two four Ffive,
I'm pulling the keys,
These Gare the tragic valuable Amluxuries
To me that had the Fearly dawn.
BeGfore you yawn,
I've Ambeen there, swiped you,
And then I'm gone.
Now it's six o'clock,
My Fheart tick tacks,
A Gblack satin bag full of Amfat ass rocks.
My iFdentity has to be exGposed.
AmStealin' from the spot
That I have truly chose,
I lose and abuse my Fchoice to choose.
Now I'm Gfixed and
I'm falling Amdeeper in the mix.
There's no Fhope for me.
GSee, my Ampaths been chosen, I'm Johnny B.
[Chorus]
Johnny AmB, how Fmuch there is to Gsee,
Just Amopen your Feyes and Glisten to Amme.
Straight ahead, a Fgreen light turns to Gred,
Oh, Amwhy can't you Fsee, oGho Johnny AmB.
Johnny AmB, how Fmuch there is to Gsee,
Just Amopen your Feyes and Glisten to Amme.
Straight ahead, a Fgreen light turns to Gred,
Oh, Amwhy can't you Fsee, oGho Johnny AmB.
[Verse 2]
The situation tightens,
We're Fbilling by the nightG.
You can't cheat
Between the Amwrongs and the rights.
Now I'm Fsearching for the clues,
So Gwhat am I to do,
I got the Amhabit of
Taking valuable things from you.
Here I stand
And I'm physically Ftrapped by my tan.
Drifting Gon the breeze,
Troubles Amof a distant man.
A lonely Fpath when I stand aGlone.
A Amrealm of affliction
Abandoned by my own.
Here I lay down into Fcertain death.
Evil spirits Gcome
And grasp my very Amlast breath.
SomeFtimes I wish reGverse was in my path,
A Amsimple gesture, a simple laugh,
But I'm evil, dirty and Fmean.
A Ggreat force
Pumps through my Amblood stream.
FFrightened, huh? you should Gbe.
Who am AmI? I'm Johnny B.
[Chorus]
Johnny AmB, how Fmuch there is to Gsee,
Just Amopen your Feyes and Glisten to Amme.
Straight ahead, a Fgreen light turns to Gred,
Oh, Amwhy can't you Fsee, oGho Johnny AmB.
Johnny AmB, how Fmuch there is to Gsee,
Just Amopen your Feyes and Glisten to Amme.
Straight ahead, a Fgreen light turns to Gred,
Oh, Amwhy can't you Fsee, oGho Johnny AmB.
[Verse 3]
Here we go, here we go.
Now Fcheck the flow.
Here we Ggo, Johnny B.'s in conAmtrol.
Here we Fgo, here we go.
Now Gcheck the flow.
AmHere we go, Johnny B.'s in control.

AmIt's a sleepness night.
He's calling your name.
It's an only ride.

ADmgain and again.
He's chancin' his chance, yeah

To me that had the early dawn.

Before you yawn,

I've been there, swiped you,

And then I'm gone.

Now it's six o'clock,

My heart tick tacks,

G Am

A black satin bag full of fat ass rocks.

F G

My identity has to be exposed.

Stealin' from the spot

That I have truly chose,

I lose and abuse my choice to choose.

Now I'm fixed and

I'm falling deeper in the mix.

There's no hope for me.

See, my paths been chosen, I'm Johnny B.

Between the wrongs and the rights.

Now I'm searching for the clues,

So what am I to do,

I got the habit of

Taking valuable things from you.

Here I stand

And I'm physically trapped by my tan.

Drifting on the breeze,

Troubles of a distant man.

F G

A lonely path when I stand alone.

A realm of affliction

Abandoned by my own.

Here I lay down into certain death.

Evil spirits come

And grasp my very last breath.

F G

Sometimes I wish reverse was in my path,

A simple gesture, a simple laugh,

But I'm evil, dirty and mean.

A great force

Pumps through my blood stream.

F G

Frightened, huh? you should be.

Who am I? I'm Johnny B.

[Chorus]
