Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
Johnny was [C]a bad boy,
he was a juvenile delinquent
He had his picture on the wall
of every precinct
He had a rep of hanging out
with his homies
Puffing on the blunts and
sipping on the forties
But when he spoke,
nobody would listen
And when he was home,

[Verse 2]
yo his parents they would dis him
[C]They called him a bum, a
worthless piece of shit
So over this he had a fit
And now he grabs his bag
and heads for the door
And walks to the neighborhood
liquor store
Pulls out a gun, tells the old man,
"Hit the floor!"
Then breaks open his register drawer

[Verse 3]
Pulls out the money, stuffs it in [C]his pocket
Points his pistol,
then he starts to cock it
The man panics and the gun goes off
Stupid old fool made Johnny
blow his head off

[Verse 4]
But he don't care 'cause Johnny was [C]taught
It ain't a crime if you don't
get caught

[Verse 5]
It ain't a crime if you don't get [C]caught
It ain't a crime if you don't get caught
It ain't a crime if you don't
get caught
That's how it is, homie,

[Verse 6]
like it or not
[C]Now coming out the store,
Johnny shot two Hasidic Jews
And when he got home,
his face was on the news
His mom freaked out,
told him, "Get the fuck out!"
That's when the pigs rolled up, so yo,

[Verse 7]
he ducked out
[C]He hit the back door like
his name was Carl Lewis
Dipped to the payphone to find
out where his crew is
He called up his homeboy Jose
"What up? Can I come
over my man?"
He said, "No way!
A cop was here,
he was looking all over for ya

[Verse 8]
But I told the pig I didn't know ya"
[C]He said, "Cool,
meet me up at the school
I need a ride 'cause I'm wanted
for homicide"
Johnny's got a gun and he's on the run
But he don't care, to him the shit's fun
Now that he's an outlaw,
sorta like Robin Hood
The hard rock hero of
the whole neighborhood

[Verse 9]
If they catch him, he'll wind up in court [C]But
it ain't a crime if
you don't get caught

[Verse 10]
It ain't a crime if you don't get [C]caught
It ain't a crime if you don't
get caught
It ain't a crime if you don't
get caught
That's how it is, homie, like it or not

[Verse 11]
It ain't a crime if you don't [C]get caught
It ain't a sale if it don't get bought
It ain't a show if I don't get paid

[Outro 1]
She ain't a hoe if you don't get laid
[C]
