[Spoken - T.I.]
Ay
Let me kick it to you right quick, partner
Not as a ganster, but as a grown man
What matters more than the mistakes you've made,
Is what you able to learn from it. Big Phil
This for you pimpin'
[Chorus - Justin Timberlake (T.I.)]
Ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travelin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
And ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travelin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead
and gone, dead and gone
[Verse 1 - T.I.]
Ever had one of dem days wish woulda stayed home
Run into a group of suckas who gettin' they hate on You walk by
They get wrong
You reply then things get blown
Way outta proportion
Way past discussion
Just you against them, pick one then rush 'em
Figure you'll get dropped, hell that's nuthin'
They don't wanna stop there now they bussin'
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
Nevermind that now you lucky to be alive
Just think it all started you fussin' with 3 guys
Now ya pride in the way, but ya pride is the way
You could mess around, get shot, die anyday
People die everyday
All over nonsense, dirty money, dice
game, stash box contents
Could this be 'cos of hip hop music?
Or did the ones with the good sense not use it?
Usually people don't know 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 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
[Chorus - Justin Timberlake (T.I.)]
Ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travelin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
And ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travelin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead
and gone, dead and gone (yeah e yeah)
[Verse 2 - T.I.]
I ain't never been scared, I lived through tragedy
Situation coulda been dead lookin' back at it
Most of that stuff didn't even have to happen
But you don't think about it when
you out there trappin'
In apartments, hangin', smokin', and rappin'
Suckas start something, next thing ya know we at it
Get locked up then didn't even get mad
Now thinking back then what a life I had
Most of that stuff, look back, just laugh
Some stuff still look back get sad
Maybe my homeboy still be around
Had I not hit the sucka in the mouth that time
I won that fight
I lost that war
I can still see my homie 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 sucka his job Cost me more
Should walked of and take that loss for sure
Now think before I risk my life
Take them chances to get my stripe
Somebody put his hands on me alright
Otherwise stand there talk stuff all night
'Cos 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
[Chorus - Justin Timberlake (T.I.)]
Ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travelin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
And ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travelin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
[Hook - Justin Timberlake]
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
[Chorus - Justin Timberlake (T.I.)]
Ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travelin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
And ohhhh (eyyy)
I've been travelin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone, dead...
