Not on some gangsta shit,
Anybody done been through
I'm sure you feel the same way
Big Phil, this is for you, pimpin'
Just tryin' to find my way back home
The old me is dead and gone,
I've been traveling on this road so long
Just trying to find my way back home
The old me is dead and gone,
Never had one of them days
where she would've stayed home
Running to a group of niggas
You walk by, they get wrong
You reply, then shit get blown
Now you gushin', I'm a land rusher
Slash your head four times,
now your wheelchair bound
Nevermind that now, you lucky to be alive
Just think it all started,
you fussin' with three guys
Niggas die everyday, all of em bullshit
Could this be cause of hip -hop music?
Or did the ones with the good sense
Usually, niggas don't know
when they're back against the wall
So they just start shootin' for red
or for blue or for blow, I guess
From Bankhead up the old projects
Ay, no more straight, now I'm straight
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
Just tryin' to find my way back home
The old me is dead and gone,
I've been travelin' on this road so long
Just tryin' to find my way back home
The old me is dead and gone,
I ain't never been scared,
Situations could've been dead,
But you don't think about it
when you're out there trappin' in apartments,
Next thing you know, we cappin',
get locked up, then, then, then, get mad
Now think about damn, what a life I had
Most of that shit look bad, just laugh
Some shit still look bad, get sad
Maybe my homeboy still be around
Had I not hit the nigga in the mouth that time
I won that fight, I lost that war
Who would've thought I'd never see
Now think before I risk my life
Take them chances to get my strike
A nigga put his hands on me, alright
Otherwise they'll talk shit all night
Cause I hit you, and you sue me
I shoot you, get locked up, who me?
No more straight, now I'm straight
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'm just trying to find my way back home
The old me is dead and gone,
And oh, I've been traveling
I'm just trying to find my way 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,
So I turn my head to the north,
swallow that pill that they call pride
That old me's dead and ain't gone,
but that new me'll be alright
I turn my head to the east,
I don't see nobody by my side
I turn my head to the west,
So I turn my head to the north,
swallow that pill that they call pride
That old me's dead and ain't gone,
but that new me'll be alright
Cause oh, I've been traveling
Just trying to find my way back home
The old me is dead and gone,
And oh, I've been traveling
Just trying to find my way back home
The old me is dead and gone,
