Routine stop on a Saturday night
Everything's fine if you pay him off right
S*** got real when he saw that light
Went for his gun – we're gonna fight

Johnny Johnny Law – you see what Johnny saw
Johnny Johnny Law
Johnny Johnny Law – you see what Johnny saw
Johnny Johnny Law

They say you gotta skim a little just to make ends meet
Boy scout's never gonna make it on the street
They cut down Jimmy like a dog that night
Eye for an eye will make it right

Johnny Johnny Law – you see what Johnny saw
Johnny Johnny Law
Johnny Johnny Law – you see what Johnny saw
Johnny Johnny Law

Give me the hands of love
Give me the hands of love
Give me the hands of law

Desperate times in the desperate hood
Bodies in the river, trying to wash the blood
Double down Johnny with a bad*ss knife
You sold your soul to save your life

Johnny Johnny Law – you see what Johnny saw
Johnny Johnny Law
Johnny Johnny Law – you see what Johnny saw
Johnny Johnny Law

Johnny Johnny Law
Give me the hands of law
Johnny Johnny Law
Give me the hands of law
Johnny Johnny Law
Give me the hands of law
