T.I. - Dead and Gone Lyrics:
Ay, lemme kick it to you right quick man
Not on some gangsta s**t man on some real s**t
Anybody who been through the same thing
I`m sure you feel the same way
Oh hey, I`ve been travelin` on this road too long
Just tryin` to find my way back home
But the old me`s dead and gone
Dead and gone
And oh hey, I`ve been travelin` on this road too long
Just tryin` to find my way back home
But the old me`s dead and gone
Dead and gone, dead and
Ever had one of them days wish you would have stayed home
Run into a group of ni**as who gettin` their hate on
You walk by, they get wrong, you reply then s**t get blown
Way out of proportion way past discussion
Just you against them, pick one then rush them
Figure you get jumped here that`s next
They don`t wanna stop there now they bustin`
Now you gushin`, ambulance rushin`
You to the hospital with a bad concussion
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
Ni**a pride in the way but your pride is the way you can f**k
Around get shot down any day
Ni**as die everyday, all little bulls**t
Dope money, dice games, ordinary hood s**t
Could this be cuz of hip-hop music
Or did the ones with the good sense not use it?
Usually ni**as 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 mistakes just for my family stake
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
Oh hey, I`ve been travelin` on this road too long
Just tryin` to find my way back home
But the old me`s dead and gone
Dead and gone
And oh hey, I`ve been travelin` on this road too long
Just tryin` to find my way back home
But the old me`s dead and gone
Dead and gone, dead and
I ain`t neva been scared, I live through tragic
Situations could been dead lookin` back at it
Most of that s**t didn`t even have to happen
But you don`t think about it when you out there trappin`
In the apartments hangin`, smokin` and rappin`
Ni**as start s**t 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 s**t look back just laugh
Some s**t still look back get sad
Thinkin` my home boy still be around
Had I not hit the ni**a in the mouth that time
I won that fight I lost that war
I could still see my ni**a 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 ni**a his jump cost me more
I`d a took that ass whoopin` out for sure
Now think before I risk my life
Take them chances to get my stripes
A ni**a put his hands on me alright
Otherwise stand there talk s**t 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 heart of me is strong today
No regrets I`m blessed to say the old me dead and gone away
Oh hey, I`ve been travelin` on this road too long
Just tryin` to find my way back home
But the old me`s dead and gone
Dead and gone
And oh hey, I`ve been travelin` on this road too long
Just tryin` to find my way back home
But the old me`s 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`s 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`s dead and gone but the new me will be alright, `cause
Oh hey, I`ve been travelin` on this road too long
Just tryin` to find my way back home
But the old me`s dead and gone
Dead and gone
And oh hey, I`ve been travelin` on this road too long
Just tryin` to find my way back home
But the old me`s dead and gone
Dead and gone, dead and
Not on some gangsta s**t man on some real s**t
Anybody who been through the same thing
I`m sure you feel the same way
Oh hey, I`ve been travelin` on this road too long
Just tryin` to find my way back home
But the old me`s dead and gone
Dead and gone
And oh hey, I`ve been travelin` on this road too long
