Dead Ass Wrong

T.I. ft. Justin Timberlake - Dead and Gone ? lyrics

Chorus:

Ooooooo I ve been travelin on this road to long (to long)

Just trying to find my way back home (back home)

The old me is dead and gone? 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? eeyy

Verse 1 (T.I.)

Ever had one of dem days u wish woulda stayd home

Run into a group of ni&&as getting they hate on

U walk by they get wrong u reply then sh*t get blown

Way outta proportion way past discussion

Just u against them, pick one then rush em

Figure you get jump, yeah that next

They don?t wanna stop there now they bussin

Now u gushin, ambulance rushin u to the hospital with a bad concussion

Plus ya hit 4 times bullet 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 *uck around get shot die anyday

Ni&&as die every day all over bull sh*t dope money dice game ordinary hood sh*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 kno what to do whith their back against the wall so they just start shootin

For red or for blue or for blow I guess, from Bankhead upto ya projects

No more stray, now im 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 im blessed to say the old me dead and gone away.

Chorus

Oooooooooo i've been travelin on this road to (to long)

Just tryn to find my way back home (back home)

The old me's dead and gone (dead and gone) (x2)

Verse 2 (T.I.)

I aint never been scared, I lived through tragic

Situations coulda been dead lookin back at it

Most of that sh*t didn?t even have to happen

But u don?t think about it when u out there trappin

In apartments hangin smokin and rappin

Ni&&as start sh*t 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 sh*t look back just laugh

Some sh*t still look back get sad

Maybe my homboy still be around

Had I not hit the ni&&a in the mouth that time

I won that fight, I lost that war

I can still see my ni&&a 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 ni&&a his job, cost me more

I?da took that ass-whoopin now for sure

Now think before I risk my life

Take them chances to get my stripe

A ni&&a put his hands on me alright

Otherwise stand there talk sh*t 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 family?s 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

Ooooooo I ve been travelin on this road to long (to long)

Just trying to find my way back home (back home)

The old me is dead and gone? 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

Verse 3 (J.T.)

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

The old me is dead and gone, 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

The old me is dead and gone, the new me will be alright

Chorus

Oooooo i've been travelin on this road to long(to long) just tryin to find my way back(back home) the old me's dead and gone dead gone (x2)
