Johnny Butt possessed a strong will to survive.

He just keep pushin' on even though he was barely alive

So shoot it up, shoot it up, it just don't matter

Advocating drug use, suggesting that it doesn't matter.

Johnny says he wants go do it

Says he wants to kill a cop

We've got a brand new dance

Introducing a metaphorical "brand new dance" as a symbol of societal change or resistance.

It's called we've got to overcome

Encouraging the idea of overcoming challenges or obstacles.

We've got a brand new dance

Reiteration of the call to overcome challenges through a metaphorical dance.

It's called we've got to overcome

Repetition of the call to overcome challenges through the mentioned dance.

So Johnny just keep pushin' 'cause the streets are yours

Encouraging Johnny to persist in facing difficulties, claiming ownership of the streets.

There'll come a day, when all that shit won't matter

Suggesting that a day will come when current problems won't matter.

So shoot it up, shoot it up, it just don't matter

Reiteration of the idea that drug use doesn't matter, regardless of the circumstances.

When you're resisting anyway

Encouraging resistance in the face of challenges.
