lyrics

Johnnys in the kitchen counting out his dough
Some of the dough is missing and Johnny doesn’t know
Feels the rage rising something has gotta blow
Is his team uprising who’s got the info
Need to talk to Alfie gotta Get him on the blow
Something seems fishy better ask him what he knows
Alfie sounding awkward picked it up and said hello
Alfie gave up nothing said he don’t know him from Joe

Behaviour hop
Be saying a lot
Pay him to talk
Saying you’ll walk
Happened to lack it all
Cough up the capital
Whacking an animal
Looking to jack it all

Johnny’s on the corner now Johnny’s on the road
Johnny found Alfie and Johnny did unload
Alfie’s on the floor and no longer growing old
Johnny’s moving up now, Johnny’s feeling bold
Picking up the squeeze box, welcome to the show
Your head bops, your knees knock, keep you on your toes
Ease up the see saw reaping what he sows
Wrapping up in these thoughts, kill the status quo

Deal with shady
Bribe Old Bailey
Dance a ceilidh
Plain we’re sailing
He’s the master
Can play faster
Legend laster
Ghetto blaster

Johnny’s in the zone now, working on a flow
Johnny got the hunger now beware all you foes
No hashing the assassin make the first blow
Hit where it hurts most leaving them KO
He’ll be looking out for you, tell you what you need
He’ll be right around the corner blowing on a reed
You’ve been duly warned now he’s dipping in the greed
Appetite is growing, and he might just have to feed

Dare to face them
He’ll replace them
Coppers chasing
Close the case and
Passing the baton
Bomb that he sat on
Don’t wanna rat on
B proof strapped on

Now he’s on the stage right at the top of his game
He thought it would be better but if feels just the same
Autograph need signing, everybody knows his name
Thinks about Alfie and he’s feeling kinda strange
How do you move up when you’ve nothing else to gain
No more inspiration and his energy was drained
All around him bad seeds no honest man to name
Suddenly he doubled over writhing in pain

Shot was fired
Feeling wired
Extremely tired
Time expired
It’s decided
You’re invited
Say goodbye to
Your provider
