Johnny
N.EX.T Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walking down the road with a pistol in your waist
Johnny you're too bad
Walking down the road with a ratchet in your waist
Johnny you're too bad

You're just robbin' now you're stabbin'
Now you're lootin' now you're shootin'
Boy too bad
You're just robbin' and you're stabbin'
Now you're lootin' now you're shootin'
Boy too bad

One of these days when you hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to?
One of these days when you hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to?

You're gonna run to the rock for rescue
There'll be no rock
You're gonna run to the rock for rescue
There'll be no rock

[ Incomprehensible]
Johnny you're too bad




[Incomprehensible]
Johnny you're too bad

Overall Meaning

The first verse of N.EX.T's "Johnny" describes the titular character walking down the road with a weapon in his pants, indicating that he is a dangerous and violent individual. The repetition of the phrase "Johnny you're too bad" emphasizes this point and serves as a warning to others to steer clear of him. The second verse further elaborates on Johnny's criminal behavior, with him robbing, stabbing, looting, and shooting. The "boy too bad" line is a condemnation of his actions and a recognition of the consequences he will inevitably face.


The chorus of "Johnny" references a potential reckoning for Johnny, with a voice calling out to him and asking where he will run. The suggestion that he will run to the rock for rescue is a biblical reference to the belief that God can provide refuge and salvation. However, the repeated line "there'll be no rock" indicates that Johnny will not find the salvation he seeks, likely due to the severity of his crimes.

Uh-uh-yeah-yeah-uh wifey
Uh-uh-yeah-uh-uh
You never try me
Always stood right by me
Make living lively
Highly spoken of
My only love, the only one
You're my wifey
Make me life complete, sweet
But you know when to flip it street
Freak but only when it comes to me
See that's why you're my wifey
This you should know
'Cause you had my mind blown, oh-oh
Full of junk at the club on bump like what
I had to have you babe
Saw you outside, passenger side
'Cause I let my best friend drive
You was in line
That's when you caught my eyes girl
You were so beautiful girl (beautiful)
It was so critical girl (so critical)
You looked so crucial girl
Something about you is everything
You are mine
You're never trying to eat
Always stood right by me
Make living lively
Highly spoken of
My only love, the only one
You're my wifey
Make me life complete, sweet (complete)
But you know when to flip it street
Freak but only when it comes to me
See that's why you're my wifey (wifey)
You know you're sexy too
I like your attitude
I ain't even mad at you
Girl you're still my boo
Either braids or weave
Skirt or jeans you're still my queen
Baby girl go do your thing
I'm so glad you're on my team
You were so beautiful girl (so beautiful)
It is so critical girl (so critical)
You looked so crucial girl
Something about you is everything
You are mine
You're never trying to eat
Always stood right by me
Make living lively
Highly spoken of
My only love, the only one (my, my, my, my)
You're my wifey
Make me life complete, sweet
But you know when to flip it street (girl you know)
Freak but only when it comes to me (you know)
See that's why you're my wifey
Someone I can spend my life with (now you know)
Leave the keys to the Benz
Wedding band with your gems
You're someone I feel all right with
Someone to have my kids
Someone I can depend
You're never trying to eat
Always stood right by me
Make living lively
Highly spoken of
My only love, the only one
You're my wifey (only one)
Make me life complete, sweet (sweet, sweet, sweet)
But you know when to flip it street
Freak but only when it comes to me (you know, you know that)
See that's why you're my wifey (you can be my wifey)
Skinny designer fit real jiggy
Ain't afraid to hump with me
When we get busy
Ride out I licky-licky 'til I get dizzy
Toes done, fresh scent
I think it's sizzly
Oh someone who was down with me
Used to struggle
Now we bubble count the g's with me
Pop the champagne
Let's take a sippy-sippy
Describe you I try to
You're my wifey
Will you be my wifey?
(Yes I'll be your wifey)
Say you'll be my wifey girl
(Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
Will you be my wifey?
(Yes I'll be your wifey)
Oh say you'll be my wifey girl
(Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
