"Dead Ass Wrong"

Ooh I ve been travelin on this road to long (to long)
Just trying to find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone? dead and gone? dead and gone
Ooh 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? eey

Verse 1 (T.I.)
Ever had one of dem days you wish woulda stayd home
Run into a group of ni&&as getting they hate on
U 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 jump, yeah that next
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 [4x] bullet 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 *uck around get shot die anyday
Ni&&as die every day all over bull shit dope money dice game ordinary hood shit
Could this be 'cause of hip hop music or did the ones with the good sense not use it
Usually ni&&as don't know what to do with their back against the wall so they just start shootin
For red or for blue or for blow I guess, from Bankhead up to ya projects
No more stray, 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.

Ooh I've been travelin on this road to (to long)
Just tryn to find my way back home (back home)
The old me's dead and gone (dead and gone) [2x]

Verse 2 (T.I.)
I ain't never been scared, I lived through tragic
Situations 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'
Ni&&as start shit 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 get sad
Maybe my homboy still be around
Had I not hit the ni&&a in the mouth that time
I won that fight, I lost that war
I can still see my ni&&a 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 ni&&a 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 stripe
A ni&&a put his hands on me all right
Otherwise stand there talk shit all night
'Cause 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.

Verse 3 (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 all right
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 all right

Ooh I've been travelin on this road to long (to long) just tryin' to find my way back (back home) the old me's dead and gone dead gone [2x]
