Chorus: T.I
Ooh, 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
And ooh, 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
Verse 1: Danjor
Life is a game, but it's pay to play
Working your fingers straight to the bone just to keep what you own and be able to eat on the day to day
Then you crash when you get home and it fades to gray
I find it annoying, I know it's all relative but it feels like
There's no time to enjoy it
Cause everybody's hustling to make a decent living
However here I am just struggling to find out where I fit in
On this world, need to think about a job
Do I wanna be a waiter, do I wanna be a doc
Do I wanna be an IT guy or possibly a cop
Or a serious musician and climb my way to the top
You already probably know, that it's rare I spout
About personal stuff but I just can't spare these doubts
That are going through my mind as I'm staring out
Like how I'm lowkey scared to leave my parent's house
I'm well aware it's petty, but I don't know if I'm ready
To confront the challenges of reality and keep steady
I'm pretty sheltered, so when that alters, and my life goes helter skelter, I worried that I'll falter
It's like I'm being thrown in a mosh pit, battered by the jostling
And I'm feeling nauseous, but there's no stalling it's rush, it's all in or bust, if I fall in the dust, I will crawl if I must
With a pad of paper and a tragic state
I document how life moves at a rapid rate
And as of late, my mind has been focused on future pain like Haddaway
And if I had a way, I'd go back to the care free lad that I was
Back in the day
Cause unlike T.I I'm sad to say that the old me's dead and gone away
Chorus: T.I
Ooh, 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
And ooh, 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
Verse 2: SSK
Through isolation and fixation, I lost my way, the location
Became irrelevant, my hearts racing, lost the dream I was chasing
Forgot the reason that I was hated, but it fueled this creation
And it lead to me hating, and it lead to my creation
Now I just wana go back home
That old me, he is dead and gone
I just want, one night of sleep
I just want, one night of peace
Wanna have a night where the nightmares cease
One where the good thoughts creep
One night not to feel like weeks
One where I'm not counting sheep
Cause I'm just counting lambs to slaughter
And it starts to alter
Like the voice in my head is an unknown caller
Talking to me like I'm a monster
Saying that you won't go farther without your partner
Start to falter, like your father
A chance at happiness, becoming smaller
Either this or become a scholar
Mourning my homies, survivors guilt
Morning my homies, I am still, liable
Point at a fucker that I can't kill
My skill is undeniable
Look at my past, actions justifiable
Cause the old me, he's dead no more
It's SSK, knocking on your door
Chorus: T.I
Ooh, 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
And ooh, 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
Bridge: 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
The old me is dead and gone
But the new me will be alright
Chorus: Justin Timberlake & T.I
Ohh, I've been travelin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryin' to find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
And ohh, I've been travelin' on this road too long (too long)
Just tryin' to find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone, hey
