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

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 too long
Just trying to find my way back home
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone

Verse 1: T.I.
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 dont 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

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 too long
Just trying to find my way back home
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone

Verse 2: T.I.
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'da 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'da 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, 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

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 too long
Just trying to find my way back home
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone

Justin Timberlake:
I turn my head to the east I don't see nobody by my side
