[Chorus] Ooh, 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 And ooh, 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 Ever had one of dem days, you wish woulda' stayed home Run into a group of niggas, getting 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 That next, 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 four times, plus it hit ya Spine paralyzed waist down, now ya wheel chair bound Never mind that now, you lucky to be alive, Just think it all started you, fussin' with three guys Now ya pride in the way, but ya pride is the way you Could f*ck around, get shot die any day Niggas die, every day all over Bull shit 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 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. [Chorus] I ain't never been scared, I live through tragedy Situation coulda 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 didn't, 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 just sad Maybe my homeboy, till 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 Ida 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. [Chorus] 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, 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 The old me is dead and gone, But the new me will be alright [Chorus]
