|
Chorus: |
|
Ooooooo I ve been travelin on this road to long (to long) |
|
Just trying to find my way back home (back home) |
|
The old me is dead and gone? dead and gone? dead and gone |
|
Ooooooo I ve been travelin on this road to long |
|
Just trying to find my way back home |
|
The old me is dead and gone? dead and gone? eeyy |
|
Verse 1 (T.I.) |
|
Ever had one of dem days u wish woulda stayd home |
|
Run into a group of ni&&as getting they hate on |
|
U walk by they get wrong u reply then sh*t get blown |
|
Way outta proportion way past discussion |
|
Just u against them, pick one then rush em |
|
Figure you get jump, yeah that next |
|
They don?t wanna stop there now they bussin |
|
Now u gushin, ambulance rushin u to the hospital with a bad concussion |
|
Plus ya hit 4 times bullet hit ya spine paralyzed waist down now ya wheel chair bound |
|
Nevermind that now u lucky to be alive, Just think it all started u fussin with 3 guys |
|
Now ya pride in the way but ya pride is the way u could *uck around get shot die anyday |
|
Ni&&as die every day all over bull sh*t dope money dice game ordinary hood sh*t |
|
Could this be cuz of hip hop music or did the ones with the good sense not use it |
|
Usually ni&&as don?t kno what to do whith their back against the wall so they just start shootin |
|
For red or for blue or for blow I guess, from Bankhead upto ya projects |
|
No more stray, now im straight, now I get it now I take |
|
Time to think, before I make mistakes just for my family?s sake |
|
That part of me left yesterday the heart of me is strong today |
|
No regrets im blessed to say the old me dead and gone away. |
|
Chorus |
|
Oooooooooo i've been travelin on this road to (to long) |
|
Just tryn to find my way back home (back home) |
|
The old me's dead and gone (dead and gone) (x2) |
|
Verse 2 (T.I.) |
|
I aint never been scared, I lived through tragic |
|
Situations coulda been dead lookin back at it |
|
Most of that sh*t didn?t even have to happen |
|
But u don?t think about it when u out there trappin |
|
In apartments hangin smokin and rappin |
|
Ni&&as start sh*t next thing ya kno we cappin |
|
Get locked up then didnt even get mad |
|
Now think about damn what a life I had |
|
Most of that sh*t look back just laugh |
|
Some sh*t still look back get sad |
|
Maybe my homboy still be around |
|
Had I not hit the ni&&a in the mouth that time |
|
I won that fight, I lost that war |
|
I can still see my ni&&a walkin out that door |
|
Who?da thought I?d never see Philant no more |
|
Got enough dead homies I don?t want no more |
|
Cost a ni&&a his job, cost me more |
|
I?da took that ass-whoopin now for sure |
|
Now think before I risk my life |
|
Take them chances to get my stripe |
|
A ni&&a put his hands on me alright |
|
Otherwise stand there talk sh*t all night |
|
Cuz I hit you , you sue me, |
|
I shoot you, get locked up, who me? |
|
No more stress, now im straight, now I get it now I take |
|
Time to think before I make mistakes just for my family?s sake |
|
That part of me left yesterday the heart of me is strong today |
|
No regrets im blessed to say the old me dead and gone away. |
|
Chorus |

Ooooooo I ve been travelin on this road to long |
|
Just trying to find my way back home |

|
Verse 3 (J.T.) |
|
I turn my head to the east? I don?t see nobody by my side |
|
I turn my head to the west? still nobody in sight |
|
So I turn my head to the north, swallow that pill that they call pride |
|
The old me is dead and gone, the new me will be alright |
|
I turn my head to the east? I don?t see nobody by my side |
