Ay, lemme kick it to you right quick man,
Nawt on some gangsta shit man on some real shit
Anybody who been through the same thing im sure
you feel the same way
Ohh (hey)
I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just tryin find my way back home (back home)
But the old me's dead and gone
Dead and Gone,
And Ohh.. (hey)
I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just tryin find my way back home (back home)
But the old me's dead and gone,
Dead and Gone, dead and
Every had one of them days wish you would have stayed home
Run into a group of niggas who gettin their hate on
You walk by they get wrong
You reply then shit get blown
Way out of proportion way bad discussion
Just you against them pick one then rush them
Figure you get jumped here thats next
They don't wanna stop there now they bustin
Now you gushin ambulance rushin
You to the hospital with a bad concusion
Plus you hit four times but it hit yo spine
Paralyzed waist down and ya wheelchair bound
Never mind that now you lucky to be alive
Just thinkin it all started fussin wit three guys
proport way proport way
around get shot down anyday
Niggas die everyday
All little bullshit, dope money, dice games, for their 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 they back against the wall
So they just start shootin,
For red or for blue or for blow I guess,
From Bankhead at the old projects,
No more stress now I'm straight,
Now I get it now I take time to think
before I make mistake just for my family stake,
That part of me left yesterday
The harder me is strong today
No regrets I'm blessed to say the old me dead and gon away
Ohh (hey)
I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just tryin find my way back home (back home)
But the old me's dead and gone,
Dead and Gone,
And Ohh.. (hey)
I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just tryin find my way back home (back home)
But the old me's dead and gone,
Dead and Gone,
I ain't neva been scared I live through tragic,
Situations could been dead lookin back at it,
Most of that shit didn't even have to happen,
[!--empirenews.page--]
But you think about it when you out there trappin
In the appartments hangin', smokin and rappin
Niggas start shit next thing we know we cappin
Get locked up then didn't even get mad
Now I think about that what a life I had
Most of that shit look back just laugh
Some shit still look back get sad
Thinkin my home boy still be around
had I not hit the nigga in the mouth that time
I won that fight I lost that war
I could still see my nigga walkin out that door
Who would of thought I'd never see Philant no more
Got enough dead homies I don't want no more
Cuz a nigga his jump cost me more
I'd a took that ass whoppin out 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 and you sue me
I shoot you get locked up poor me
No more stress now I'm straight
Now I get it now I take time to think
before I make mistake just for my family stake
That part of me left yesterday
The harder me is strong today
No regrets I'm blessed to say the old me dead and gon away

Dead and Gone, dead and
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
That old me dead and gone
but 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 pill that they call pride
That old me dead and gone
but the new me will be alright coz
Ohh (hey)
