Dead And Gone (feat. Justin Timberlake) (Radio Edit)
(Justin Timberlake): Ooooooo I've been travelin on this road to long Just trying to find my way back home The old me is dead and gone dead and gone Ooooooo I've been travelin on this road to long Just trying to find my way back home The old me is dead and gone dead and gone
(T.I.) Ever had one of dem days u wish woulda stayd home Run into a group of niggas getting they hate on U walk by they get wrong u reply then shit get blown Way outta proportion way past discussion Just u against them, pick one then rush em Figure u get your hair? that next They dont wanna stop there now they bussin Now u gushin, ambulance rushin u 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 u lucky to be alive, Just think it all started u fussin with 3 guys Now ya pride in the way but ya pride is the way u could fuck around get shot die anyday Niggas die every day all over bull shit dope money dice game stash box contents Could this be cuz of hip hop music or did the ones with the good sense not use it Usually niggas dont kno what to do when their back against the wall so they just start shootin For red or for blue or for dough I guess, from Bankhead or from your projects No more stress, now im straight, now I get it now I take Time to think, before I make mistakes just for my familys sake That part of me left yesterday the heart of me is strong today No regrets im blessed to say the old me dead and gone away.
(Chorus)
(T.I.) I aint never been scared, I lived through tragic Situations coulda been dead lookin back at it Most of that shit didnt even have to happen But u dont think about it when u out there trappin In apartments hangin smokin and rappin Niggas start shit didnt next thing ya kno we cappin Get locked up then didnt even get mad Now think about damn what a life I had Most of that shit look back just laugh Some shit still look back just sad Maybe my homboy till be around Had I not hit the nigga in the mouth that time I won that fight, I lost that war I can still see my nigga walkin out that door Whoda thought Id never see Philant no more Got enough dead homies I dont want no more Cost a nigga his job, cost me more Ida took that ass-whoopin now for sure Now think before I risk my life Take them chances to get my stripe A nigga put his hands on me alright Otherwise stand there talk shit all night Cuz I hit you , you sue me, I shoot you, get locked up, who me? No more stress, now im straight, now I get it now I take Time to think before I make mistakes just for my familys sake That part of me left yesterday the heart of me is strong today No regrets im blessed to say the old me dead and gone away.
(Chorus)
(J.T.) I turn my head to the east I dont 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 The old me is dead and gone, the new me will be alright I turn my head to the east I dont 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 The old me is dead and gone, the new me will be alright
