    Dead And Gone (Clean Version)

    Lyrics
    [Spoken - T.I.] No more stress, now I'm straight,
    Ay now I get it, now I take
    Let me kick it to you right quick, partner Time to think, before I make mistakes
    Not as a ganster, but as a grown man just for my family's sake
    What matters more than the mistakes you've made, That part of me left yesterday
    Is what you able to learn from it. Big Phil The heart of me is strong today
    This for you pimpin' No regrets I'm blessed to say
    The old me dead and gone away
    [Chorus - Justin Timberlake (T.I.)]
    Ohhhh (eyyy) [Chorus - Justin Timberlake (T.I.)]
    I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long) Ohhhh (eyyy)
    Just tryna find my way back home (back home) I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long)
    The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
    And ohhhh (eyyy) The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
    I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long) And ohhhh (eyyy)
    Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
    The old me is dead and gone, dead I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long)
    and gone, dead and gone Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
    The old me is dead and gone, dead
    [Verse 1 - T.I.] and gone, dead and gone (yeah e yeah)
    Ever had one of dem days wish woulda stayed home
    Run into a group of suckas who gettin' they hate on
    You walk by
    They get wrong
    You reply then things get blown
    Way outta proportion
    Way past discussion
    Just you against them, pick one then rush 'em
    Figure you'll get dropped, hell that's nuthin'
    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 4 times
    Plus it hit ya spine
    Paralyzed waist down now ya wheel chair bound
    Nevermind that now you lucky to be alive
    Just think it all started you fussin' with 3 guys
    Now ya pride in the way, but ya pride is the way
    You could mess around, get shot, die anyday
    People die everyday
    All over nonsense, dirty money, dice
    game, stash box contents
    Could this be 'cos of hip hop music?
    Or did the ones with the good sense not use it?
    Usually people 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

    Verse 2 ----- next page 


    [Verse 2 - T.I.]
    I ain't never been scared, I lived through tragedy [Hook - Justin Timberlake]
    Situation coulda been dead lookin' back at it I turn my head to the East
    Most of that stuff didn't even have to happen I don't see nobody by my side
    But you don't think about it when I turn my head to the West
    you out there trappin' Still nobody in sight
    In apartments, hangin', smokin', and rappin' So I turn my head to the North
    Suckas start something, next thing ya know we Swallow that pill that they call pride
    at it That old me is dead and gone
    Get locked up then didn't even get mad But that new me will be alright
    Now thinking back then what a life I had
    Most of that stuff, look back, just laugh I turn my head to the East
    Some stuff still look back get sad I don't see nobody by my side
    Maybe my homeboy still be around I turn my head to the West
    Had I not hit the sucka in the mouth that time Still nobody in sight
    I won that fight So I turn my head to the North
    I lost that war Swallow that pill that they call pride
    I can still see my homie walkin' out that door That old me is dead and gone
    Who'da thought I'd never see Philant no more? But that new me will be alright
    Got enough dead homies I don't want no more
    Cost a sucka his job Cost me more [Chorus - Justin Timberlake (T.I.)]
    Should walked of and take that loss for sure Ohhhh (eyyy)
    Now think before I risk my life I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long)
    Take them chances to get my stripe Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
    Somebody put his hands on me alright The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
    Otherwise stand there talk stuff all night And ohhhh (eyyy)
    'Cos I hit you, you sue me, I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long)
    I shoot you, get locked up, who me? Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
    No more stress, now I'm straight, The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone, dead...
    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 - Justin Timberlake (T.I.)]


    Ohhhh (eyyy)
    I've been travellin' on this road too long (too
    long)
    Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
    The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
    And ohhhh (eyyy)
    I've been travellin' on this road too long (too
    long)
    Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
    The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
