Intro:
Am C G Dm E

Verse/Chorus:
Am C G F E

Ohh I’ve been travelin on this road too

long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home (back

home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
Ohh I’ve been travelin on this road too

long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home (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
Run into a group of niggas getting they

hate on
You walk by they get wrong you reply then

shit get blown
Way outta proportion way past discussion
Just you against them, pick one then rush

em
Figure you get jumped hell thats next
They don’t wanna stop there now they bustin
Now you gushin, ambulance rushin 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
Nigga ya pride in the way but ya pride is

the way
You could fuck around get shot die any day
Niggas die every day, all over bullshit,

dope, money
Dice game, ordinary hood shit
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

[Chorus – Justin Timberlake]:
Ohh I’ve been travelin on this road too

long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home (back

home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
Ohh I’ve been travelin on this road too

long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home (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 shit 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 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 had
Most of that shit look back just laugh
Some shit still look back 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
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 jaw, cost me more
I’da took that ass-whoopin now for sure
Now think before I risk my life
Take them chances to get my stripes
A nigga put his hands on me alright
Otherwise stand there talk shit 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.

[[Chorus – Justin Timberlake]:
Ohh I’ve been travelin on this road too

long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home (back

home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
Ohh I’ve been travelin on this road too

long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home (back

home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone

[Justin Timberlake]:
I turn my head to the east I dont 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 thatnew me

will be alright
I turn my head to the east I dont 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 that new

me will be alright

[Chorus – Justin Timberlake]:
Ohh I’ve been travelin on this road too

long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home (back

home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
Ohh I’ve been travelin on this road too

long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home (back

home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
