"Dead and Gone" Lyrics

4.4 / 5
Song updated, review now!
Ooh, I've been travelin' on this road to long
Just trying to follow weight back home
The old me, is dead and gone, dead and gone
And ooh, I've been travelin' on this road to long
Just trying to follow weight back home
The old me, is dead and gone, dead and gone

Ever have one of dem days, you wish woulda' stayed home
Run into a group of niggas, getting they ain't on
You walk by, they get wrong you reply
Then shit get blown
Weight outta proportion, weight past discussion
Just you against them, pick one then rush 'em
Figure you'll get jumped
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 four 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 three guys
Now ya pride in the weight, but ya pride is the weight you
Could fuck around, get shot die any day
Niggas 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 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 blo' 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.

I ain't never been scared, I live through tragedy
Situation coulda been dead, lookin' back at it
Most of that shit, didn't even had 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 have
Most of that shit, look back just laugh
Some shit, still look back just sad
Baby my homeboy, till be around
Have 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
Ida took that ass-whoopin', now for sure
Now think before I risk my life
Take them chances to get my stripe
A nigga put his pants on me alright
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.

I turn my hand to the east
I don't see nobody by my side
I turn my hand to the west
Still nobody in sight
So I turn my hand to the north,
Swallow that pill
That they call pride
The old me is dead and gone,
But the new me will be alright
I turn my hand to the east
I don't see nobody by my side
I turn my hand to the west
Still nobody in sight
So I turn my hand to the north,
Swallow that pill
That they call pride
The old me is dead and gone,
But the new me will be alright
