(Justin Timberlake):
Ooooooo
I’ve been travelin
on this road to 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 to long
Just trying to find
my way back home
The old me
is dead and gone
dead and gone

(T.I.)
Ever had one of dem days
u wish woulda stayd home
Run into a group of niggas
getting they hate on
U walk by
they get wrong u reply
then shit get blown
Way outta proportion
way past discussion
Just u against them,
pick one then rush em
Figure u get your hair?
that next
They dont wanna stop
there now they bussin
Now u gushin, ambulance
rushin u 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
u lucky to be alive,
Just think it all started u
fussin with 3 guys
Now ya pride in the way
but ya pride is the way u
could fuck around
get shot die anyday
Niggas die
every day all over
bull shit 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
dont kno 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 im straight,
now I get it now I take
Time to think,
before I make mistakes
just for my familys sake
That part of me left yesterday
the heart of me is strong today
No regrets im blessed to say
the old me dead and gone away.

(Chorus)

(T.I.)
I aint never been scared,
I lived through tragedy
Situation coulda been dead
lookin back at it
Most of that shit
didnt even have to happen
But u dont think about it
when u out there trappin
In apartments hangin
smokin and rappin
Niggas start shit didnt
next thing ya kno we cappin
Get locked up
then didnt 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 just sad
Maybe my homboy
till 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
Whoda thought Id never see
Philant no more
Got enough dead homies
I dont want no more
Cost a nigga his job,
cost me more
Ida took that ass-whoopin
now for sure
Now think before I risk my life
Take them chances to get my stripe
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 im straight,
now I get it now I take
Time to think
before I make mistakes
just for my familys sake
That part of me left yesterday
the heart of me is strong today
No regrets im blessed to say
the old me dead and gone away.

(Chorus)

(J.T.)
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,
the new 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,
the new me will be alright

(Chorus)

Your touch is so magic to me
The strangest things can happen
The way that you react to me
I wanna do something you can’t imagine
Imagine if there was a million me’s talking sexy to you like that
You think you can handle, boy
If I give you my squeeze and I need you to push it right back

(Verse Break)

Baby, show me, show me
What’s your favorite trick that you wanna use on me
And I’ll volunteer
And I’ll be flowing and going
Till clothing disappears, ain’t nothing but shoes on me
Oh, baby

(Chorus)

All night, show it, just you and the crowd
Doing tricks you never seen
And I bet that I can make you believe
In love and sex and magic
So let me drive my body around you
I bet you know what I mean
Cause you know that I can make you believe
In love and sex and magic

(Verse 2)

Everything ain’t what it seems
I wave my hands and I got you
And you feel so fly assisting me
But now it’s my turn to watch you
I ain’t gonna stop you if you wanna crowd my neck
Talk sexy to me like that
Just do what I taught you, girl
When I give you my heat and I need you to push it right back

(Verse Break)

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Oh, this is the part where we fall in love
Oh, let’s slow it down so we fall in love
But don’t stop what you’re doing to me

(Chorus [2x])

[Verse 1 - T.I.]:

They dont wanna stop there now they buzzin
Now you gushin, ambulance rushin you to the hospital with a bad concussion

The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone

[Pre Chorus:]
And I’ll never give myself to another
The way I gave it to you
Don’t even recognize
The ways you hurt me
Do you?
It’s gonna take a miracle to bring me back
And you’re the one to blame

[Chorus:]
And now I feel like, oh
You’re the reason
Why I’m thinking
I don’t wanna smoke on
These cigarettes no more
I guess that’s what I get
For wishful thinking
Should’ve never let you enter my door
Next time you wanna go on and leave
I should just let you go on and do it
Cause now I’m using like I bleed
It’s like I checked into rehab
Baby you’re my disease
It’s like I checked into rehab
Baby you’re my disease
I gotta check into rehab
‘Cause baby you’re my disease
I gotta check into rehab
‘Cause baby you’re my disease

[Verse 2:]
Damn,
Ain’t it crazy
When you’re loveswept
You’ll do anything
For the one you love
‘Cause anytime
That you needed me
I’d be there
It’s like
You were my favorite drug
The only problem is
That you was using me
In a different way
That I was using you
But now that I know
That it’s not meant to be
You gotta go
I gotta wean myself off of you

[Pre Chorus:]
