Oh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' 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 oh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' 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 Ever had one of them days wish would've stayed home
Run into a group of niggas who gettin' they hate on You walk by
They get wrong You reply then shit get blown
Way outta proportion Way past discussion
Just you against them, pick one then rush 'em Figure you'll get jumped, hell that's nothing
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 fuck around, get shot, die anyday
Niggas die everyday All over bull shit, dope money, dice game, ordinary hood shit
Could this be 'cos of hip hop music? Or did the ones with the good sense not use it?
Usually niggas 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 Oh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' 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 oh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' 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 I ain't never been scared, I lived through tragedy
Situation could've been dead lookin' back at it Most of that shit didn't even have to happen
But you don't think about it when you out there trappin' In apartments, hangin', smokin', and rappin'
Niggas start shit, next thing ya know we cappin' Get locked up then didn't 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 get sad Maybe my homboy still 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
Who'da thought I'd never see Philant no more? Got enough dead homies I don't want no more
Cost a nigga his job Cost me more
I'd took that ass-whooping 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 '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 Oh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' 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 oh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' 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 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 Oh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' 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 oh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' 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
