Dead And Gone (feat. Justin Timberlake)

Ay, lemme kick it to you right quick man,

Nawt on some gangsta sh*t man on some real sh*t

Anybody who been through the same thing i'm sure you feel the same way

Ohh （hey）

I＇ve been travelin on this road too long （too long）

Just tryin find my way back home （back home）

But the old me＇s dead and gone,

Dead and Gone,

And Ohh.. （hey）

I＇ve been travelin on this road too long （too long）

Just tryin find my way back home （back home）

But the old me＇s dead and gone,

Dead and Gone, dead and...

Every had one of them days wish you would have stayed home,

Run into a group of *s who gettin their hate on,

You walk by - they get wrong,

You reply then sh*t get blown,

Way out of proportion way bad discussion,

Just you against them pick one then rush them,

Figure you get jumped here thats next,

They don＇t wanna stop there now they bustin,

Now you gushin ambulance rushin,

You to the hospital with a bad concusion,

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 anyday,

*s die everyday,

All little *, d**e money, dice games, for their hood sh*t,

Could this be cuz of hip-hop music,

Or did the ones with the good sense not use it,

Usually *s 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 mistake just for my

Family stake,

That part of me left yesterday

The harder me is strong today,

No regrets I＇m blessed to say the old me dead and gon away,

Ohh （hey）

I＇ve been travelin on this road too long （too long）

Just tryin find my way back home （back home）

But the old me＇s dead and gone,

Dead and Gone,

And Ohh.. （hey）

I＇ve been travelin on this road too long （too long）

Just tryin find my way back home （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 sh*t didn＇t even have to happen,

But you think about it when you out there trappin＇,

In the appartments hangin＇, smokin and rappin,

*s start sh*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 sh*t look back just laugh,

Some sh*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 a** whoppin 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 sh*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 harder me is strong today,

No regrets I＇m blessed to say the old me dead and gon away,

Ohh （hey）

I＇ve been travelin on this road too long （too long）

Just tryin find my way back home （back home）

But the old me＇s dead and gone,

Dead and Gone,

And Ohh.. （hey）

I＇ve been travelin on this road too long （too long）

Just tryin find my way back home （back home）

But the old me＇s dead and gone,

Dead and Gone, dead and...

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 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 dead and gone but the new me will be alright,

Ohh （hey）

I＇ve been travelin on this road too long （too long）

Just tryin find my way back home （back home）

But the old me＇s dead and gone,

Dead and Gone,

And Ohh.. （hey）

I＇ve been travelin on this road too long （too long）

Just tryin find my way back home （back home）

But the old me＇s dead and gone,

Dead and Gone, dead and gone...
