Ay, let me kick it to you right quick man
Nawt on some gangsta shit man on some real shit
Anybody who been through the same thing
I’m sure you feel the same way
Big Phil, this is for you pimping
Oh, I’ve been traveling on this road too long
Just trying to find my way back home
The old me’s dead and gone
Dead and gone
And oh, I’ve been traveling on this road too long
Just trying to find my way back home
The old me’s dead and gone
Dead and gone
Every had one of them days wish you would have stayed home
Run into a group of niggas who getting their hate on
You walk by, they get wrong
You reply then shit get blown
Way out of proportion way bad 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 busting
Now you gushing ambulance rushing
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 thinking it all started fussing with three guys
Nigga pride in the way but your pride is the way
You can fuck around get shot down any day
Niggas die everyday
All little bullshit, dope money, dice games, for their hood shit
Could this be cause of hip-hop music
Or did the ones with the good sense not use it
Usually niggas don’t know what to do
When they back against the wall so they just start shooting
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 gone away
Oh, I’ve been traveling on this road too long
Just trying to find my way back home
The old me’s dead and gone
Dead and gone
And oh, I’ve been traveling on this road too long
Just trying to find my way back home
The old me’s dead and gone
Dead and gone
I ain’t never been scared I live through tragic
Situations could been dead looking back at it
Most of that shit didn’t even have to happen
But you think about it when you out there trapping
In the apartments hanging, smoking and rapping
Niggas start shit next thing we know we capping
Get locked up then didn’t even get mad
Now I think about that what a life I had
Most of that shit look back just laugh
Some shit still look back get sad
Thinking my home boy still be around
Had I not hit the nigga in the mouth that time
I won that fight I lost that war
I could still see my nigga walking out that door
Who would of thought I’d never see Philant no more
Got enough dead homies I don’t want no more
Cause a nigga his jump cost me more
I’d a took that ass whopping out for sure
Now think before I risk my life
Take them chances to get my stripes
A nigga put his hands on me alright
Otherwise stand there talk shit all night
Cause 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 gone away
Oh, I’ve been traveling on this road too long
Just trying to find my way back home
The old me’s dead and gone
Dead and gone
And oh, I’ve been traveling on this road too long
Just trying to find my way back home
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, I’ve been traveling on this road too long
Just trying to find my way back home
The old me’s dead and gone
Dead and gone
And oh, I’ve been traveling on this road too long
Just trying to find my way back home
The old me’s dead and gone
Dead and gone
