"Dead And Gone"
(feat. Justin Timberlake)

[Spoken - T.I.]
Ay
Let me kick it to you right quick, man
Not on some gangsta [bad word] man, on some real [bad word] Anybody done been through the same thing, I'm sure you feel the same way
Big Phil
This for you pimpin'
 [bad word] (Justin Timberlake (T.I.)):]
Oh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
And oh (eyyy)
I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryna find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone, dead and gone

[Verse 1 - T.I.]
Ever had one of them days wish would've stayed [bad word] into a group of niggas who gettin' 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'll get jumped, [bad word] that's nothing
They don't wanna stop there now they bussin'
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
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 [bad word] around, get shot, die any day
Niggas die everyday
All over bull [bad word]  dope money, dice game, ordinary hood [bad word] Could this be 'cos 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
 [bad word] (Justin Timberlake (T.I.))]

[Verse 2 - T.I.]
I ain't never been scared, I lived through tragedy
Situation could've 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]  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 get 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'd took that [bad word] whooping now for sure
Now think before I risk my life
Take them chances to get my stripe
[bad word] put his hands on me alright
Otherwise stand there talk [bad word] all night
'Cos 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 (T.I.))]

[Hook - Justin Timberlake]
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
That old me is dead and gone
But that 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
That old me is dead and gone
But that new me will be alright
 [bad word] (Justin Timberlake (T.I.))]
