Justin Timberlake & T.I. - Dead and gone lyrics

Your rating:
Ohh I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home
(back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
Ohh I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home
(back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone

Ever had one of dem days
You wish woulda stayed home
Run into a group of niggas getting they hate on
You walk by they get wrong
You reply then shit get blown
Way outta proportion way past discussion
Just you against them, pick one then rush em
Figure you get jumped hell
Thats next
They don't wanna stop there now they bustin
Now you gushin, ambulance rushin you to the hospital
with a bad concussion
Plus ya hit 4 times
Plus it hit ya spine paralyzed waist down
now ya wheel chair bound
Never mind that now you lucky to be alive,
Just think it all started
You fussin with 3 guys
Nigga ya pride in the way but ya pride is the way
You could fuck around get shot die any day
Niggas die every day
All over bullshit, 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 know what to do
When their back against the wall
So they just start shootin
For red or for blue or for blow 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 family's 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

Ohh I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home
(back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
Ohh I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home
(back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone

I ain't never been scared, I lived through tragedy
Situation coulda been dead
Lookin back at it
Most of that shit didn't even have to happen
But you don't think about it when you out there trappin
In apartments hangin, smokin and rappin
Niggas start shit didn't next thing
Ya know 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 get sad
Maybe my homeboy still 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
Who'da thought I'd never see Philant no more
Got enough dead homies I don't want no more
Cost a nigga his jaw, 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 stripes
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 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 I'm blessed to say
The old me dead and gone away.

Ohh I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home
(back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
Ohh I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home
(back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone

I turn my head to the east
I dont 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
But that new me will be alright
I turn my head to the east
I dont 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
But that new me will be alright

Ohh I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home
(back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
Ohh I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home
(back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
