Ohhhh hey

I've been traveling on this road too long

Too long

Just trying to find my way back home

Back home

But the old me is Dead and Gone

Dead and Gone

Dead

Ohhhh hey

I've been traveling on this road too long

Too long

Just trying to find my way back home

Back home

But the old me is Dead and Gone

Dead and Gone

Dead

Ever had one of them days

You wish you would've stayed home

Run into a group of niggas

Who getting they hate on

You walk by

They get wrong

You reply then sh*t get blown

Way outta proportion

Way past discussion

Just you against them

Pick one then rush 'em

Figure you get your hair that's next

So they don't wanna stop there now they busting

Now you gushing ambulance rushing

You to the hospital with a bad concussion

Plus you're hit 4 times

Bullet hit your spine

Paralyzed waist down

Now your wheelchair bound

Never mind that now you lucky to be alive

Just think it all started you fussing with three guys

Now your pride in the way

But your pride is the way

You could f**k around

Get shot

Die any day

Niggas die everyday

All over b******t d**e money

Dice game ordinary hood sh*t

Could this be 'cos 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 shooting

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

Ohhhh hey

I've been traveling on this road too long

Too long

Just trying to find my way back home

Back home

But the old me is Dead and Gone

Dead and Gone

Dead

Ohhhh hey

I've been traveling on this road too long

Too long

Just trying to find my way back home

Back home

But the old me is Dead and Gone

Dead and Gone

I ain't never been scared

I lived through tragic situations

Could've been dead looking back at it

Most of that sh*t didn't even have to happen

But you don't think about it

When you out there trapping

In apartments hanging smoking and rapping

Niggas start sh*t

Next thing you know we capping

Get locked up then didn't 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 homeboy 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 walking out that door

Who would've 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 done took that a** whipping 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

'Cos I hit you and 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 or Gone away

Ohhhh hey

I've been traveling on this road too long

Too long

Just trying to find my way back home

Back home

But the old me is Dead and Gone

Dead and Gone

Dead

Ohhhh hey

I've been traveling on this road too long

Too long

Just trying to find my way back home

Back home

But the old me is Dead and Gone

Dead and Gone

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 is Dead and Gone

But that 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 is Dead and Gone

But that new me will be alright

'Cause

Ohhhh hey

I've been traveling on this road too long

Too long

Just trying to find my way back home

Back home

But the old me is Dead and Gone

Dead and Gone

Dead

Ohhhh hey

I've been traveling on this road too long

Too long

Just trying to find my way back home

Back home

But the old me is Dead and Gone

Dead and Gone
