What are the Dead and Gone lyrics by T.I.?

Answer 1

Chorus:

(Justin Timberlake):

Ooooooo

I've been travelin

On this road too long

Just trying to find

My way back home

The old me

Is dead and gone

Dead and gone

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

(T.I.)

Ever had one of dem days

U wish woulda stayed home

Run into a group of nig**s

Getting they hate on

U walk by

They get wrong

U reply

Then s**t 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 don't 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**k around

Get shot die anyday

Nig**s die

Every day all over

Bull s**t dope money dice

Game ordinary hood s*t

Could this be

Cuz of hip hop music

Or did the ones

With the good sense

Not use it

Usually nig**s

Don't kno 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 familys 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)

(T.I.)

I ain't never been scared,

I lived through tragedy

Situation coulda been dead

Lookin back at it

Most of that s**t

Didn't even have to happen

But u don't think about it

When u out there trappin

In apartments hangin

Smokin and rappin

Nig**s start s**t didn't

Next thing ya kno we cappin

Get locked up

Then didn't even get mad

Now think about damn

What a life I had

Most of that s**t

Look back just laugh

Some s**t

Still look back just sad

Maybe my homboy

Till be around

Had I not

Hit the ni***

In the mouth that time

I won that fight, I lost that war

I can still see my ni***

Walkin out that door

Whoda thought I'd never see

Philant no more

Got enough dead homies

I don't want no more

Cost a ni*** 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 ni*** put his hands on me alright

Otherwise stand there

Talk s**t all night

Cuz 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 familys 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)

(J.T.)

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,

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,

The new me will be alright

(Chorus)
