Ay, lemme kick it to you right quick man
Not on some gangsta [bad word] man on some real [bad word] 
Anybody who been through the same thing
I'm sure you feel the same way

 [bad word]  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  [bad word] into a group of niggas getting they hate on 
You walk by they get wrong 
You reply then [bad word] get blown 
Way outta proportion way past discussion 
Just you against them, pick one [bad word] em 
Figure you get your hair? that next 
They dont wanna stop there now they buzzin 
Now you gushin, [bad word] 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 [bad word] around get shot die anyday 
Niggas die every day all over bull [bad word] 
Dope money dice game ordinary hood [bad word] 
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 

 [bad word]  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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] didn't next thing ya know we cappin 
Get locked up then didn't even get mad 
Now think about [bad word] what a life I had 
Most of that [bad word] look back just laugh 
Some [bad word] still look back just sad 
Maybe my homeboy still be around 
Had I not hit the [bad word] in the mouth that time 
I won that fight, I lost that war 
I can still see my [bad word] 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 [bad word] his job, cost me more 
I'da took that [bad word] whoopin now for sure 
Now think before I risk my life 
Take them chances to get my stripes 
[bad word] put his hands on me alright 
Otherwise stand there talk [bad word] 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

 [bad word]  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
