Ayy let me kick it to you right quick man

Not on some gangsta s**t man on some real s**t

Anybody done been through the same thing

I'm sure you feel the same way

Big phil this for you pimpin'

Ohh heyy I've been travelin' on this road too long too long

Just tryin' to find my way back home back home

The old me is dead and gone dead and gone

And ohh I've been travelin' on this road

Too long too long

Just tryin' to find my way back home back home

The old me is dead and gone dead and gone hey

Ever had one of them days wish you woulda stayed home

Run into a group of n***as who gettin' they hate on

You walk by they get wrong

You reply then s**t 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 wheelchair bound

Never mind 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 f**k around get shot die any day

N***as die everyday all over bulls**t

D**e money dice game ordinary hood s**t

Could this be 'cause of hip hop music

Or did the ones with the good sense not use it

Usually n***as 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 up to yo 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

Ohh ayy I've been travelin' on this road too long too long

Just tryin' to find my way back home back home

The old me is dead and gone dead and gone

And ohh ayy I've been travelin' on this road

Too long too long

Just tryin' to find my way back home back home

The old me is dead and gone dead and gone hey

I ain't never been scared I lived through tragic situation

Coulda been dead lookin' back at it

Most of that s**t didn't even have to happen

But you don't think about it when you out there trappin'

In apartments hangin' smokin' and rappin'

N***as start s**t next thing you know we cappin'

Get locked up then didn't even get mad

Now think about d**n what a life I had

Most of that s**t look back just laugh

Some s**t still look back get sad

Maybe my homeboy still be around

Had I not hit the n***a in the mouth that time

I won that fight I lost that war

I can still see my n***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 n***a his jaw 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 stripes

A n***a put his hands on me alright

Otherwise stand there talk s**t 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

Ohh ayy I've been travelin' on this road too long too long

Just tryin' to find my way back home back home

The old me is dead and gone dead and gone

And ohh ayy I've been travelin' on this road

Too long too long

Just tryin' to find my way back home back home

The old me is dead and gone dead and gone hey

Ayy

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 'cause

Ohh ayy I've been travelin' on this road too long too long

Just tryin' to find my way back home back home

The old me is dead and gone dead and gone

And ohh ayy I've been travelin' on this road

Too long too long

Just tryin' to find my way back home back home

The old me is dead and gone dead and gone hey
