Dead And Gone lyrics

Artist  : T.i. 
Song : Dead And Gone



 Send "Dead And Gone" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Ay, lemme kick it to you right quick man

Not on some gangsta shit man on some real shit

Anybody who been through the same thing

I'm sure you feel the same way



Oh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too
long

Just tryin' to find my way back home

But the old me's dead and gone

Dead and gone

And oh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too
long

Just tryin' to find my way back home

But the old me's dead and gone

Dead and gone, dead and



Ever had one of them days wish you would have
stayed home

Run into a group of niggas who gettin' their hate
on

You walk by, they get wrong, you reply then shit
get blown

Way out of proportion way past discussion

Just you against them, pick one then rush them

Figure you get jumped here that's next

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 but it hit yo spine

Paralyzed waist down and ya wheelchair bound

Never mind that now you lucky to be alive

Just thinkin' it all started fussin' wit three
guys

Nigga pride in the way but your pride is the way
you can fuck

Around get shot down any day



Niggas die everyday, all little bullshit

Dope money, dice games, 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 they
back against the wall

So they just start shootin'

For red or for blue or for blow I guess

From Bankhead at the old 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
stake

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 hey, I've been travelin' on this road too
long

Just tryin' to find my way back home

But the old me's dead and gone

Dead and gone

And oh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too
long

Just tryin' to find my way back home

But the old me's dead and gone

Dead and gone, dead and



I ain't neva been scared, I live through
tragic

Situations could 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 the apartments hangin', smokin' and rappin'

Niggas start shit next thing we know we
cappin'

Get locked up then didn't even get mad

Now I think about that what a life I had



Most of that shit look back just laugh

Some shit still look back get sad

Thinkin' my home boy still be around

Had I not hit the nigga in the mouth that time

I won that fight I lost that war

I could still see my nigga walkin' out that
door

Who would of thought I'd never see Philant no
more

Got enough dead homies I don't want no more



Cuz a nigga his jump cost me more

I'd a took that ass whoopin' out 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 poor me



No more stress now I'm straight

Now I get it now I take time to think

Before I make mistake just for my family stake

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 hey, I've been travelin' on this road too
long

Just tryin' to find my way back home

But the old me's dead and gone

Dead and gone

And oh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too
long

Just tryin' to find my way back home

But the old me's 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

That old me's 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

That old me's dead and gone but the new me will
be alright, 'cause



Oh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too
long

Just tryin' to find my way back home

But the old me's dead and gone

Dead and gone

And oh hey, I've been travelin' on this road too
long

Just tryin' to find my way back home

But the old me's dead and gone

Dead and gone, dead and
