Who Shot Johnny
Tyla Yaweh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chase beating down the door
Beat around four
It's a go, lock and load, glock with me
A bitch I throw away

I just went through like four today
Fuck around, pour some more today
Hoodie on, nigga putting on for the city
Hunnid pack, hunnid pack on the way
Like, ooh, guap, money
Talking 'bout, "Who shot Johnny?"
Made myself a boss so you can't run from me
Niggas sending shots so I send a couple hunnid
This that, ooh, guap, nigga
Still thuggin' like 2Pac, nigga

Plug on the soda
Ask what the turnaround is
You get it right back and it's coming ahora
I see them red and blue lights
And they screaming that Johnny got hit on the corner
It's sad they got him, wasn't aware they still watching
I know that they plotting on me, I know that they plotting on me

Yeah, twelve beating on the door looking for some witnesses
Ain't nobody tell 'em shit 'cause they know what the business is

Chase beating down the door
Beat around four
It's a go, lock and load, glock with me
A bitch I throw away

I just went through like four today
Fuck around, pour some more today
Hoodie on, nigga putting on for the city
Hunnid pack, hunnid pack on the way
Like, ooh, guap, money
Talking 'bout, "Who shot Johnny?"
Made myself a boss so you can't run from me
Niggas sending shots so I send a couple hunnid
This that, ooh, guap, nigga (Ooh, guap, nigga)
Still thuggin' like 2Pac, nigga (Thuggin' like 2Pac, nigga)

My 'migos just hit me like, "Andale"
Got a couple packs that's on the way
Tryna look out for the opps
Birds in the city, they all gotta drop
Screaming out, "Who shot Johnny?" (Who shot)
Off them drugs and money (Money)
Cutthroat niggas, they got time to play
They hit a nigga with a nine today

Yeah, twelve beating on the door looking for some witnesses
Ain't nobody tell 'em shit 'cause they know what the business is

Chase beating down the door
Beat around four
It's a go, lock and load, Glock with me
A bitch I throw away

I just went through like four today
Fuck around pour some more today
Hoodie on, nigga putting on for the city
Hunnid pack, hunnid pack on the way
Like, ooh, guap, money (Ooh, guap)
Talking 'bout, "Who shot Johnny?" (Who shot Johnny?)
Made myself a boss so you can't run from me
Niggas sending shots so I send a couple hunnid




This that, ooh, guap, nigga (Ooh, guap, nigga)
Still thuggin' like 2Pac nigga (Thuggin' like 2Pac, nigga)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tyla Yaweh’s song “Who Shot Johnny” depict a life of danger and recklessness. The song’s opening lines suggest a chaotic scene with someone named Chase frantically knocking down doors, while the singer prepares for an imminent confrontation with a firearm. The lines “It's a go, lock and load, glock with me” and “Niggas sending shots so I send a couple hunnid” imply a gang-related feud, where violence is the norm.


The chorus repeats the line “Talking 'bout, "Who shot Johnny?'" which is perhaps a reference to the Kennedy assassination conspiracy theory or various shootings that happen in the singer’s hometown. As the song progresses, the lyrics indicate that law enforcement is involved, as “Twelve” tries to gain information from witnesses. Despite this, the singer makes it clear that nobody in his circle is going to snitch since everyone knows the drill.
