BROCKHAMPTON - JOHNNY Lyrics






[Kevin Abstract:]
When I imagine myself on acid
I take steps backwards if time comes to lap itself
Being dazzled by the round of silent thoughts who had the crown
Don't-don't-don't-don't let life pass yourself
When I imagine myself on acid
I take steps backwards if time comes to lap itself
Being dazzled by the round of silent thoughts who had the crown
Don't-don't-don't-don't let life pass yourself

I could've got a job at McDonald's, but I like curly fries
That's a metaphor for my life, and I like taller guys
Could've got a deal if I wanted, but I like ownership
And I like making shit, and I like selling it

[Dom McLennon:]
Could've peaked when I was in high school but I had bigger plans
Could've took the time out my to find you but you ain't understand
You gotta leave for them to find you
Cause what would you demand?
When everyone out to define you without a circumstance

[Kevin Abstract:]
Anybody got Harry Styles' phone number?
Okay, I called him and they said I got the wrong number
I was trying to be popular when I was younger, dreaming of better days
I don't see my mom no more remind me of bad weather days

[Ameer Vann:]
If you got a problem with me, try some other guy
I let you know I'm a dog, I ate the cat alive
But really though, I'm alone 'cause I don't stick around
And yes, I know it's my fault, so put your finger down

[Matt Champion:]
I would keep this shit pent up if it weren't for my mom
If it weren't for the job, yeah I know it's a lot
Guess it's not every month
Should've opened up my mouth more, show them what my fist for
Let 'em get a fistful, caught up in the lust man
Bred from the legs of straight killers on west end
Black eyes, bloody sheets, damn where yo' fist at?
You should get a new crown, maybe some more things

[Kevin Abstract & Merlyn Wood:]
I love it when the people go wild for me
I love it when the people go wild for me
I love it when the people go wild for me
Keep it wild for me, wild, wild for me
I love it when the people go wild for me
I love it when the people go wild for me
I love it when the people go wild for me
Keep it wild for me, wild, wild for me

[Kevin Abstract:]
Baby, I been trippin' off, go tie me up and send 'em off
And I been on mission for it, I just want my own apartment
I just want a space with my old best friend
Lock me in your cellular, won't elevate again
Baby, I been trippin' off, go tie me up and send 'em off
I been on mission for it, I just want my own apartment
I just want a space with my old best friend
Block me in your cellular, won't elevate again

[Joba:]
I'm a shit head son, and I'm bad at growing up
I'm a shit head son, and I'm bad at growing up
My life ain't been the same, since my dog died, since my girl left
I quit drinking and drugging and still can't get ahead
Been at a loss for words
It seems I'm destined to fall apart when I'm depressed
It's all a test, scream at god from my bedside
I glue my hands together, life's got me hog-tied
There's no applause in the game of life, I just bought a car
And a new house, here's the cost to prove it
I spin a little wheel when I'm feelin' moody
And that's like all the time, try not to mind the clock
Because my heart is ticking I smoke a pack a day
And I wish I didn't, having some trouble quittin'
I have a couple vices, we had that show on Viceland
I was hardly in it, most the time I'm hidden
Anxious and patient and always wanting something different
I hate the way I'm feeling, I'm sick of chasing feelings

[Kevin Abstract:]
Baby, I been trippin' off, go tie me up and send 'em off
And I been on mission for it, I just want my own apartment
I just want a space with my old best friend
Block me in your cellular, won't elevate again
Baby, I been trippin' off, go tie me up and send 'em off
I been on mission for it, I just want my own apartment
I just want a space with my old best friend
Block me in your cellular, won't elevate again

    I’m only here for the “I LOVE IT WHEN THE PEOPLE GO WILD FOR ME”

  4. F.... I....

    when kevin says "Anybody got Harry Styles' phone number?

  16. S.... M....

    Damn joba stole the show, real stuff man

  17. A.... J....

    Sophomore memories right here!

  18. M.... H....

    Everybody’s talking about joba’s sad ass part, Kevin abstracts intro is litterally the best 24 seconds of song I’ve heard in months.

  19. d.... o....

    Johnny and bleach need a video

  20. S.... E....

    When you put it in .25 speed the beginning sounds terrifying

  21. w.... ....

    Joba's last verse really hits too hard

  22. w.... ....

    This is the song that got me into Brockhampton in 2017 and it still bangs hard as fuck

  23. V.... V....

    ngl compared to other songs on saturation III this one is way too underrated

  24. D.... P....

    This as an instrumental would be so crazy

  25. a.... ....

    underrated

  26. T.... S....

    0:36 he sounds like Cy Hi da prince

  27. A.... ....

    I wish I could hug Joba, I relate to him so much.

  28. A.... ....

    only came bc i heard harry styles

  29. l.... E....

    JOBA’s verse reminds me of my depressed friend who i helped him from committing suicide.

  30. S.... ....

    This sounds like a knuckles level from sonic adventure 2. I love it.

  31. o.... ,....

    Matt's verse is so underrated here, like many others

  32. f.... ....

    one of my favourite joba verses !! love !!

  33. M.... Z....

    They should collaborate with Tyler the creator

  34. C.... C....

    "my life ain't been the same, since my dog died"

    rip

  35. M.... S....

    Johnny Johnny

    Yes Kevin

    Working at McDonalds

  36. Z.... M....

    Johnny Johnny

  37. D.... D....

    Damn wtf this is sick

  38. S.... ....

    there is no way human beings are producing these beats

  39. T.... O....

    Johhny Johhny?

    *i'm a shithead son.*

  40. E.... ....

    this song is genuinely one of the best songs I've ever heard. I have been hearing this on repeat for the past week and a half. I absoulutely love the beat changes throughout the song. Not only that, but Joba stole the song.

    E.... ....

    yes yes yes yes yes yes mega yes

  41. C.... W....

    When I imagine myself on acid
    I take step backwards and find those to lap itself
    Even dance a pound around my silent thoughts who had the crown
    Don't-don't-don't-don't let life pass yourself
    When I imagine myself on acid
    I take step backwards and find those to lap itself
    Even dance a pound around my silent thoughts who had the crown

    I would keep this shit pent up if it weren't for my mom
    If it weren't for Dijon yeah I don't like to lie
    Guess it sounds out the month
    Should've opened up my mouth more, show 'em what my fist for
    Let 'em get a fistful, caught up in the lust, man
    Bred from the legs of straight killers on best end
    Black eyes, bloody sheets, damn, where yo' feet stand?
    We should get a new plan, maybe some more fans
    I love it when the people go wild for me
    I love it when the people go wild for me
    I love it when the people go wild for me
    Keep it wild for me, wild, wild for me

  67. n.... C....

    Which one starts at 115?

    n.... C....

    matt fucking champion.

  68. e.... ....

    i cant stop thinking abt the lofi hip hop in the bg

  69. N.... C....

    Kevin finally got Harry Styles number bless

    N.... C....

    i think it might be the wrong number

  70. T.... B....

    "My life ain't been the same, since my dog died, since my girl left."

    My dog died in September and the girl i love left me the other day.

  71. J.... H....

    Harry Styles what

  72. p.... ....

    dude this is the only song i like as much as hottie in this album

  73. j.... o....

    Holup holup holuuuuuuup, this remindsme of a Saba song. lemme check and I'll come back.

  74. S.... C....

    i'm (a) shithead (son) and i walk like this

  75. a.... o....

    Ameers verse on this song makes me sad now

    a.... o....

    i agree with all of my heart.

  76. J.... T....

    If you got a problem with me, try some other guy
    I let you know I'm a dog, I ate the cat alive
    But really though, I'm alone 'cause I don't stick around
    And yes, I know it's my fault, so put your finger down
    - I miss Ameer

    J.... T....

    He did bad things

  77. d.... r....

    Now Ameer's verse is soooo much heavy

  78. R.... A....

    The intro to this song is literal perfection, but the rest is really good too. I'd love to hear a full song with the beat at the beginning.

  79. P.... ....

    are you ok

  80. P.... ....

    This is amazing

  81. n.... 7....

    *I COULD HAVE GOT A JOB AT MCDONALDS*

  82. J.... Z....

    I also get chills every time I listen to Joba’s verse on here, so relatable

  83. J.... Z....

    This is probably my favorite BH track, every verse is so personal and well put together, and the hooks are some of the best Kevin’s ever put together

  84. L.... V....

    Doms giving me such a big boi feel in this track

  85. A.... E....

    this beat is so fucking dope, those jazz chords on the guitar with the trumpet!!

  86. R.... ....

    Kevin's hook after Joba's verse>>>>

  87. b.... s....

    IM A SHITHEAD SON

  88. K.... S....

    This song has the most interesting dynamic.
    Like little bits of each of them on the first verse just make it feel like a complete verse between each of them. And then out of nowhere JOBA blows us a way with a full verse of his own. One of the best verses on the album tbh. But as a whole it's just incredible.

  89. a.... ....

    Joba's verse has made me cry way too many times, rips right through me.

  90. R.... C....

    this beat so hard

  91. K.... S....

    Do they not play this at shows?
    "I love it when the people go wild for me!" It's hype as fuck!

  92. Q.... A....

    baby ive been trippin on a tie me up and send em off n i been on a mission for it i just want my own apartment i just want a space with my own bestfriend look me in the cellular will never evalate again

  93. f.... ....

    Every time I hear their song I’m like wtffff where have I been

  94. T.... S....

    0:00-0:24 I wish they woulda kept that vocal effect in more of the song, that shit is sick

    T.... S....

    T. Stamp I’m sayingg

  95. J.... H....

    Those four fucking chords. Chills

  96. J.... C....

    joba didnt have to go off like that but he did
