[00:02.080] |
Ay, lemme kick it to you right quick man |
[00:06.100] |
Not on some gangsta shit man on some real shit |
[00:09.020] |
Anybody who been through the same thing |
[00:10.440] |
I'm sure you feel the same way |
[00:14.830] |
Ohh (hey) |
[00:16.240] |
I've been travelin on this road too long (too long) |
[00:19.520] |
Just tryin find my way back home (back home) |
[00:23.370] |
But the old me's dead and gone |
[00:26.200] |

[00:28.940] |
And Ohh... (hey) |
[00:30.280] |
I've been travelin on this road too long (too long) |
[00:33.850] |
Just tryin find my way back home (back home) |
[00:37.630] |
But the old me's dead and gone, |
[00:40.330] |
Dead and Gone, dead and... |
[00:43.310] |
Ever had one of them days wish you would have stayed home |
[00:44.860] |
Run into a group of niggas who gettin' their hate on |
[00:46.540] |
You walk by, they get wrong |
[00:48.460] |
You reply then shit get blown |
[00:50.240] |
Way out of proportion way bad discussion |
[00:52.100] |
Just you against them, pick one then rush them |
[00:53.660] |
Figure you get jumped here that's next |
[00:55.300] |
They don't wanna stop there now they bustin' |
[00:57.290] |
Now you gushin', ambulance rushin' |
[00:58.770] |
You to the hospital with a bad concussion |
[01:00.840] |
Plus you hit four times but it hit yo spine |
[01:02.530] |
Paralyzed waist down and ya wheelchair bound |
[01:04.350] |
Never mind that now you lucky to be alive |
[01:05.910] |
Just thinkin' it all started fussin' wit three guys |
[01:07.920] |
Nigga pride in the way but your pride is the way you can fuck |
[01:10.100] |
Around get shot down any day |
[01:11.480] |
Niggas die everyday, all little bullshit |
[01:12.410] |
Dope money, dice games, ordinary hood shit |
[01:15.240] |
Could this be cuz of hip-hop music |
[01:16.870] |
Or did the ones with the good sense not use it? |
[01:18.650] |
Usually niggas don't know what to do when they back against the wall |
[01:21.190] |
So they just start shootin' |
[01:22.260] |
For red or for blue or for blow I guess |
[01:23.850] |
From Bankhead at the old projects |
[01:25.690] |
No more stress, now I'm straight |
[01:27.570] |
Now I get it, now I take time to think Before I make mistakes just for my family stake |
[01:32.920] |
That part of me left yesterday |
[01:34.640] |
The heart of me is strong today |
[01:36.440] |
No regrets I'm blessed to say the old me dead and gone away |
[01:40.840] |

[02:31.150] |
I could still see my nigga walkin' out that door |
[02:33.280] |
Who would of thought I'd never see Philant no more |
[02:35.070] |
