As Johnson explained, the Bible quote reads “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me,” takes direct inspiration from his grandfather, who taught him to rise above adversities.
“My grandfather always told me that I just go out and play and fear nobody, just do what you do best, and I work hard enough so I just gotta go out there and prove it,” Johnson said.
