Lyrics
Big Phil, this for you, pimpin' Oh, I've been travelin' on this road too long ( Too long.) Just tryin' to find my way back home ( Back home.) The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone Ever had one of them days wish you woulda stayed home Run into a group of suckers who gettin' they hate on? You walk by, they get wrong You reply, then things get blown Way outta proportion, way past discussion Just you against them, pick one, then rush him Figure you get jumped, hell, that's nothin' 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, bullet hit yo' spine Paralyzed waist-down, now you're wheelchair-bound Never mind that now, you lucky to be alive Just think, it all started, you fussin' with three guys Now your pride in the way, but your pride is the way You could mess around, get shot, die any day People die everyday, all over nothing Dope money, dice game, contenrs Could this be ‘cause of hip hop music? Or did the ones with the good sense not use it? Usually people 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 up to yo 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 ( Too long.) Just tryin' to find my way back home ( Back home.) The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone I ain't never been scared, I lived through tragic situation Coulda been dead lookin' back at it Most of that stuff didn't even have to happen But you don't think about it when you out there trappin' In apartments, hangin', smokin' and rappin' Suckers start sh*t, next thing you know, we cappin' Get locked up, then didn't even get mad Now think about, damn, what a life I had! Most of that stuff, look back, just laugh Some stuff, still look back, get sad Maybe my homeboy still be around Had I not hit the sucker in the mouth that time I won that fight, I lost that war I can still see my homo 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 his jaw, cost me more I shoulda walked off, took that loss, for sure Now, think before I risk my life Take them chances to get my stripes Somebody put his hands on me, alright Otherwise, stand there, talk sh*t all night 'Cause 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 ( Too long.) Just tryin' to find my way back home ( 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 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 The old me is dead and gone But the new me will be alright 'cause Oh, I've been travelin' on this road too long ( Too long.) Just tryin' to find my way back home ( Back home.) The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
