When Johnny Met Suzie Lyrics

Monday morning

7:45 AM

Listen

It was a special date for young Johnny Gate

Starting his eighth grade year in a different state

His momma yelled from the kitchen

"Johnny, don't be late!"

So Johnny rolled out of bed at a quarter to eight

Went to the kitchen

Ate the breakfast that his momma made

Finished his whole plate and a glass of lemonade

Johnny said, "I don't wanna go to school, momma

You know the drama that'll start cause I'm overweight"

His momma turned with a tear in her eye and replied

"Johnny, baby, I'll love you 'til the day I die

Your beauty's what's inside and some kids try to hide

Insecurities by making the other kids cry

I know you hate it but you can't let that temper flare

If they start saying something

Switch to a different chair

Now get outta here

Can't be late on your first day"

Johnny packed his lunch then went on his way

He's just a youngin' tryna make it in this cold, cruel world

Ever since his father left

His brain been like a whirlpool

Swirlin' with thoughts

Turned Johnny into a mad kid

Left him feeling all alone just like his dad did

He had no brothers, no sisters, no friends

Just a cousin down the street tryna make ends meet

He ran guns for funds, sold drugs, and pimped floozies

Johnny met him often for dime bags and smoothies

That's when his cousin opened his bag

Pulled out an Uzi and said

"Johnny, meet your new best friend Suzie

Suzie will protect you when them bullies come around

So when they start frontin, just gun 'em down"

Johnny said, "Thank you cousin

For all of your protection"

Little did Johnny know he was headed down the wrong direction

With affection, his cousin said

"Have a good first day"

Johnny packed up Suzie then went on his way

Yeah

And that's when Johnny met Suzie

It's lunchtime now

Johnny's favorite part of the day

His first four classes went okay

He's standin' in the lunch line when a voice shouted

"It's crunch time!"

Johnny turned and saw a 6'4" kid by the name of Ray

He had all of the pretty, popular girls around him

Known as the class clown

Whole cafeteria surrounding him

He downed four milk cartons in five seconds

Saw Johnny and said

"You're going up for thirds, I reckon?"

Johnny said, "Listen man, I want no trouble"

Ray said, "I think imma call you Mister McDouble"

Everybody started laughing

Johnny ran to the hall

Cause for the first time in his life

He felt small

Went to the bathroom

Locked himself in the stall

Finished his po boys where there was no noise at all

Until he heard a voice shout

"Hey fatty, you in there?

You got a choice punch to the face or a kick to the balls?

Ain't no hope in getting saved by the bell

This is my fourth year repeating

I don't care if I fail

I've had detention and suspension

And I've even been to jail

So imma feed you urinal cakes

I bet you like 'em, you big whale!"

Johnny zipped open his bag and looked at Suzie

He thought to himself

"Man, I can't let this kid abuse me"

Then the momma jokes started

Everything changed quick

Johnny's face got hot

And his stomach felt sick

He grabbed Suzie, kicked the door open, looked at Ray

Reaching for the Uzi, Suzie started to spray

Reckless ricochet

Now both bodies lay on the floor

Johnny chose Suzie and never saw his momma no more
