Lyrics

[00:02.080] Ay, lemme kick it to you right quick man
[00:06.100] Not on some gangsta shit man on some real shit
[00:09.020] Anybody who been through the same thing
[00:10.440] I'm sure you feel the same way
[00:14.830] Ohh (hey)
[00:16.240] I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
[00:19.520] Just tryin find my way back home (back home)
[00:23.370] But the old me's dead and gone
[00:26.200] Dead and Gone
[00:28.940] And Ohh... (hey)
[00:30.280] I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
[00:33.850] Just tryin find my way back home (back home)
[00:37.630] But the old me's dead and gone,
[00:40.330] Dead and Gone, dead and...
[00:43.310] Ever had one of them days wish you would have stayed home
[00:44.860] Run into a group of niggas who gettin' their hate on
[00:46.540] You walk by, they get wrong
[00:48.460] You reply then shit get blown
[00:50.240] Way out of proportion way bad discussion
[00:52.100] Just you against them, pick one then rush them
[00:53.660] Figure you get jumped here that's next
[00:55.300] They don't wanna stop there now they bustin'
[00:57.290] Now you gushin', ambulance rushin'
[00:58.770] You to the hospital with a bad concussion
[01:00.840] Plus you hit four times but it hit yo spine
[01:02.530] Paralyzed waist down and ya wheelchair bound
[01:04.350] Never mind that now you lucky to be alive
[01:05.910] Just thinkin' it all started fussin' wit three guys
[01:07.920] Nigga pride in the way but your pride is the way you can fuck
[01:10.100] Around get shot down any day
[01:11.480] Niggas die everyday, all little bullshit
[01:12.410] Dope money, dice games, ordinary hood shit
[01:15.240] Could this be cuz of hip-hop music
[01:16.870] Or did the ones with the good sense not use it?
[01:18.650] Usually niggas don't know what to do when they back against the wall
[01:21.190] So they just start shootin'
[01:22.260] For red or for blue or for blow I guess
[01:23.850] From Bankhead at the old projects
[01:25.690] No more stress, now I'm straight
[01:27.570] Now I get it, now I take time to think Before I make mistakes just for my family stake
[01:32.920] That part of me left yesterday
[01:34.640] The heart of me is strong today
[01:36.440] No regrets I'm blessed to say the old me dead and gone away
[01:40.840] Ohh (hey)
[01:41.510] I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
[01:44.920] Just tryin find my way back home (back home)
[01:48.690] But the old me's dead and gone
[01:51.540] Dead and Gone
[01:54.040] And Ohh... (hey)
[01:55.760] I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
[01:59.200] Just tryin find my way back home (back home)
[02:02.960] But the old me's dead and gone
[02:05.790] Dead and Gone, dead and...
[02:08.520] I ain't neva been scared, I live through tragic
[02:09.880] Situations could been dead lookin' back at it
[02:11.900] Most of that shit didn't even have to happen
[02:13.800] But you don't think about it when you out there trappin'
[02:15.520] In the apartments hangin', smokin' and rappin'
[02:17.320] Niggas start shit next thing we know we cappin'
[02:19.230] Get locked up then didn't even get mad
[02:20.830] Now I think about that what a life I had
[02:22.670] Most of that shit look back just laugh
[02:24.370] Some shit still look back get sad
[02:26.090] Thinkin' my home boy still be around
[02:27.920] Had I not hit the nigga in the mouth that time
[02:29.780] I won that fight I lost that war
[02:31.150] I could still see my nigga walkin' out that door
[02:33.280] Who would of thought I'd never see Philant no more
[02:35.070] Got enough dead homies I don't want no more
[02:36.810] Cuz a nigga his jump cost me more
[02:38.610] I'd a took that ass whoopin' out for sure
[02:40.350] Now think before I risk my life
[02:42.130] Take them chances to get my stripes
[02:43.940] A nigga put his hands on me alright
[02:45.650] Otherwise stand there talk shit all night
[02:47.520] Cuz I hit you and you sue me
[02:49.240] I shoot you get locked up poor me
[02:51.010] No more stress now I'm straight
[02:53.000] Now I get it now I take time to think Before I make mistake just for my family stake
[02:58.190] That part of me left yesterday
[02:59.940] The heart of me is strong today
