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
Ooooooo
Ever had one of dem days
u wish woulda stayd home
Run into a group of suckas
getting they hate on
U walk by
they get wrong u reply
then s*** get blown
Way outta proportion
way past discussion
Just u against them,
pick one then rush em
Figure u get your hair?
that next
They dont wanna stop
there now they bussin
Now u gushin, ambulance
rushin u to the hospital
with a bad concussion
Plus ya hit 4 times
plus it 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 f*** around
get shot die anyday
people die
every day all over
bull s*** dope money dice
game stash box contents
Could this be
cuz of hip hop music
or did the ones
with the good sense
not use it
Usually people
dont kno what to do
when their back
against the wall
so they just start shootin
For red or for blue
or for dough I guess,
from Bankhead
or from your projects
No more stress,
now im straight,
now I get it now I take
Time to think,
before I make mistakes
just for my familys safe
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.
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
Ooooooo
I aint never been scared,
I lived through tragic
Situations coulda been dead
lookin back at it
Most of that s***
didnt even have to happen
But u dont think about it
when u out there trappin
In apartments hangin
smokin and rappin
suckas start s*** didnt
next thing ya kno we cappin
Get locked up
then didnt even get mad
Now think about d***
what a life I had
Most of that s***
look back just laugh
Some s***
still look back just sad
Maybe my homboy
till be around
Had I not
hit the n****
in the mouth that time
I won that fight, I lost that war
I can still see my homie
walkin out that door
Whoda thought Id never see
Philant no more
Got enough dead homies
I dont want no more
Cost a n**** his job,
cost me more
Ida took that a**-whoopin
now for sure
Now think before I risk my life
Take them chances to get my stripe
A n**** put his hands on me alright
Otherwise stand there
talk s*** 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 familys safe
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.
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
Ooooooo
I turn my head to the east
I dont 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 dont 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
