    Lyrics

    Oh 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
    Oh 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

    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 get your hair that next
    They don't wanna stop there now they buzzin
    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
    Never mind 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 fuck around get shot die anyday
    Niggas die every day all over bull shit dope

    Money dice game ordinary hood shit
    Could this be cuz 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 blow 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

    Oh 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
    Oh 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

    I ain't never been scared I lived 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 still 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'd a 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
    I'd a took that ass-whoopin' now for sure

    Now think before I risk my life
    Take them chances to get my stripes
    A nigga put his hands on me alright
    Otherwise stand there talk shit all night

    Cuz I hit you and 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

    Oh 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
    Oh 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

    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

    Oh 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
    Oh 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
