Chorus:(Justin Timberlake):
Ooooooo I've been travelin On this road too long
Just trying to find My way back home
The old me Is dead and gone Dead and gone
Ooooooo I've been travelinOn this road to long
Just trying to find My way back home
The old me Is dead and gone Dead and gone
(T.I.)Ever had one of dem days U wish woulda stayd home
Run into a group of niggas Getting they hate on
U walk by They get wrong u reply Then shit get blownWay outta proportion Way past discussion Just u against them, Pick one then rush em Figure u get your hair? 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 Plus it hit yaSpine 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 wayBut ya pride is the way uCould fuck aroundGet shot die anyday
Niggas die Every day all overBull shit dope money dice Game ordinary hood shit Could this be Cuz of hip hop music Or did the ones With the good sense Not use it Usually niggas Don't kno what to do When their back Against the wall So they just start shootin
For red or for blue Or for blo I guess, From Bankhead Or from your projects
No more stress, Now I'm straight, Now I get it now I take Time to think, Before I make mistakes Just for my familys sake
That part of me left yesterday The heart of me is strong today No regrets I'm blessed to say The old me dead and gone away.
(Chorus)
(T.I.)I aint never been scared, I lived through tragedySituation coulda been deadLookin back at it
Most of that shit Didn't even have to happen But u don't think about it When u out there trappin In apartments hangin Smokin and rappin Niggas start shit didn't Next thing ya kno we cappin
Get locked up Then didn't even get mad Now think about damn What a life I had Most of that shit Look back just laugh Some shit Still look back just sad Maybe my homboy Till be around Had I not Hit the nigga In the mouth that time I won that fight, I lost that war I can still see my nigga Walkin out that door Whoda thought I'd never seePhilant no more Got enough dead homies
I don't want no more Cost a nigga his job, Cost me more Ida took that ass-whoopin Now for sure Now think before I risk my life Take them chances to get my stripe A nigga put his hands on me alright Otherwise stand there Talk shit all night Cuz I hit you, you sue me, I shoot you, get locked up, who me?
No more stress, now I'm straight, Now I get it now I takeTime to think Before I make mistakes Just for my familys sake That part of me left yesterday The heart of me is strong today No regrets I'm blessed to say The old me dead and gone away.
(Chorus)
(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
I turn my head to the west Still nobody in sight
So I turn my head to the north, Swallow that pillThat they call pride
The old me is dead and gone, The new me will be alright
(Chorus)
