T.I. - Dead And Gone Lyrics
Ay, lemme kick it to you right quick manNot on some gangsta shit man on some real shitAnybody who been through the same thingI'm sure you feel the same wayOh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too longJust tryin' to find my way back homeBut the old me's dead and goneDead and goneAnd oh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too longJust tryin' to find my way back homeBut the old me's dead and goneDead and gone, dead andEver had one of them days wish you would have stayed homeRun into a group of niggas who gettin' their hate onYou walk by, they get wrong, you reply then shit get blownWay out of proportion way past discussionJust you against them, pick one then rush themFigure you get jumped here that's nextThey don't wanna stop there now they bustin'Now you gushin', ambulance rushin'You to the hospital with a bad concussionPlus you hit four times but it hit yo spineParalyzed waist down and ya wheelchair boundNever mind that now you lucky to be aliveJust thinkin' it all started fussin' wit three guysNigga pride in the way but your pride is the way you can *****Around get shot down any dayNiggas die everyday, all little bullshitDope money, dice games, ordinary hood shitCould this be cuz of hip-hop musicOr did the ones with the good sense not use it?Usually niggas don't know what to do when they back against the wallSo they just start shootin'For red or for blue or for blow I guessFrom Bankhead at the old projectsNo more stress, now I'm straightNow I get it, now I take time to thinkBefore I make mistakes just for my family stakeThat part of me left yesterdayThe heart of me is strong todayNo regrets I'm blessed to say the old me dead and gone awayOh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too longJust tryin' to find my way back homeBut the old me's dead and goneDead and goneAnd oh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too longJust tryin' to find my way back homeBut the old me's dead and goneDead and gone, dead andI ain't neva been scared, I live through tragicSituations could been dead lookin' back at itMost of that shit didn't even have to happenBut you don't think about it when you out there trappin'In the apartments hangin', smokin' and rappin'Niggas start shit next thing we know we cappin'Get locked up then didn't even get madNow I think about that what a life I hadMost of that shit look back just laughSome shit still look back get sadThinkin' my home boy still be aroundHad I not hit the nigga in the mouth that timeI won that fight I lost that warI could still see my nigga walkin' out that doorWho would of thought I'd never see Philant no moreGot enough dead homies I don't want no moreCuz a nigga his jump cost me moreI'd a took that ass whoopin' out for sureNow think before I risk my lifeTake them chances to get my stripesA nigga put his hands on me alrightOtherwise stand there talk shit all nightCuz I hit you and you sue meI shoot you get locked up poor meNo more stress now I'm straightNow I get it now I take time to thinkBefore I make mistake just for my family stakeThat part of me left yesterdayThe heart of me is strong todayNo regrets I'm blessed to say the old me dead and gone awayOh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too longJust tryin' to find my way back homeBut the old me's dead and goneDead and goneAnd oh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too longJust tryin' to find my way back homeBut the old me's dead and goneDead and goneI turn my head to the east, I don't see nobody by my sideI turn my head to the west, still nobody in sightSo I turn my head to the north, swallow that pill that they call prideThat old me's dead and gone but the new me will be alrightI turn my head to the east, I don't see nobody by my sideI turn my head to the west, still nobody in sightSo I turn my head to the north, swallow that pill that they call prideThat old me's dead and gone but the new me will be alright, 'causeOh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too longJust tryin' to find my way back homeBut the old me's dead and goneDead and goneAnd oh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too longJust tryin' to find my way back homeBut the old me's dead and goneDead and gone, dead and
