[Intro: T.I.] Aye, let me kick it to you right quick, man Not on some gangsta shit Man, on some real shit Anybody done been through the same thing I'm sure you feel the same way Big Phil, this for you, pimpin'
[Hook: Justin Timberlake] Ohh, I've been travelin' on this road too long Just tryin' to find my way back home The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone And ohh, I've been travelin' on this road too long Just tryin' to find my way back home The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone, hey
[Verse 1: T.I.] Ever had one of them days wish you 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 him Figure you get jumped, hell, that's nothin' They don't wanna stop there, now they bustin' Now you gushin', ambulance rushin' You to the hospital with a bad concussion Plus you hit four times, plus it hit yo' spine Paralyzed waist down, now you're wheel chair bound Nevermind that now, you lucky to be alive Just think, it all started you fussin' with three guys Now your pride in the way, but your pride is the way You could fuck around, get shot, die any day Niggas die everyday, all over bullshit Dope money, dice game, ordinary 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 Their 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 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
[Hook: Justin Timberlake] Ohh, I've been travelin' on this road too long Just tryin' to find my way back home The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone And ohh, I've been travelin' on this road too long Just tryin' to find my way back home The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone, hey
[Verse 2: T.I.] I ain't never been scared, I lived through tragic 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 you 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 homeboy 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 walking out that door Who'd have thought I'd never see Philant no more? Got enough dead homies, I don't want no more Cost a nigga his jaw, cost me more I'd have 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 ‘Cause 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
[Hook: Justin Timberlake] Ohh, I've been travelin' on this road too long Just tryin' to find my way back home The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone And ohh, I've been travelin' on this road too long Just tryin' to find my way back home The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone, hey
[Bridge: Justin Timberlake] 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
[Hook: Justin Timberlake] Ohh, I've been travelin' on this road too long Just tryin' to find my way back home The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone And ohh, I've been travelin' on this road too long Just tryin' to find my way back home The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone, heyTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
