Dead And Gone Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]Ay... Let me kick it to yo[C]u right quick, man
Not on some gangsta shit man,
on some real [G]shit
Anybody done been through the same thing,
I'm sure you feel the same [Dm]way
Big [E]Phil, this for you pimpin'

[Chorus 1]
[Am]Oh, (hey) I've been travelin' on this road
too [C]long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back [G]home
(back home)
The old me is dead and [F]gone,
dead and [E]gone
And [Am]oh, (hey) I've been travelin' on this road
too [C]long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back [G]home
(back home)
The old me is dead and [F]gone,
dead and [E]gone

[Verse 1]
Ever had [Am]one of them days
wish you would've stayed home
Run into a group of niggas
who gettin' they hate on
[C]You walk by, they get wrong
You reply then shit get blown
Way [G]outta proportion
way past discussion
Just you against them,
pick one then rush 'em
[Dm]Figured you'll get jumped,
hell that's nothing
[E]They don't wanna stop there
now they bussin'
[Am]Now you gushin', ambulance rushin'
You to the hospital with a bad concussion
Plus ya [C]hit four times
But it hit your spine
Paralyzed waist down
Then you wheelchair bound
Never[G]mind that now you lucky to be alive
Just think it all started
you fussin' with three guys
Now ya [Dm]pride in the way,
but ya pride is the way
You could [E]fuck around, get shot,
die any day
Niggas [Am]die everyday all over bullshit,
dope money, dice game, ordinary hood shit
[C]Could this be 'cause of hip- hop music?
Or did the ones with the good
sense not use it?
[G]Usually niggas don't know what to do
When their back against the wall
so they just start shootin'
For [Dm]red or for blue or for blow I guess
[E]From Bankhead up to your projects (hey)
[Am]No more stress, now I'm straight,
Now I get it, now I take
[C]Time to think, before I make
mistakes just for my family's sake
That [G]part of me left yesterday
The heart of me is strong today
[Dm]No regrets I'm blessed to say
The [E]old me dead and gone away

[Chorus 2]
[Am]Oh, (hey) I've been travelin' on this road
too [C]long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back [G]home
(back home)
The old me is dead and [F]gone,
dead and [E]gone
And [Am]oh, (hey) I've been travelin' on this road
too [C]long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back [G]home
(back home)
The old me is dead and [F]gone,
dead and [E]gone

[Verse 2]
I ain't [Am]never been scared,
I lived through tragic situation
Could've been dead lookin' back at it
[C]Most of that shit didn't even have to happen
But you don't think about it
when you out there trappin'
in [G]apartments, hangin', smokin', and rappin'
Niggas start shit,
next thing ya know we cappin'
Get [Dm]locked up then didn't even get mad
Now [E]think about damn what a life I had
[Am]Most of that shit, look back, just laugh (ha)
Some shit still look back get sad (man)
[C]Maybe my homeboy still be around
Had I not hit the nigga
in the mouth that time
I [G]won that fight I lost that war
I can still see my nigga
walkin' out that door (man)
[Dm]Who'da thought I'd never see
Philant no more?
Got e[E]nough dead homies
I don't want no more
Cost a [Am]nigga his job, cost me more
I'da took that ass-whooping now for sure
Now [C]think before I risk my life
Take them chances to get my stripe
A [G]nigga put his hands on me alright
Otherwise stand there talk shit all night (So?)
'Cause [Dm]I hit you, and you sue me
I [E]shoot you, get locked up, who? Me!
[Am]No more stress, now I'm straight,
Now I get it, now I take
[C]Time to think, before I make
mistakes just for my family's sake
That [G]part of me left yesterday
The heart of me is strong today
[Dm]No regrets I'm blessed to say
The [E]old me dead and gone away

[Chorus 3]
[Am]Oh, (hey) I've been travelin' on this road
too [C]long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back [G]home

The old me is dead and [F]gone,
dead and [E]gone
And [Am]oh, (hey) I've been travelin' on this road
too [C]long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back [G]home
(back home)
The old me is dead and [F]gone,
dead and [E]gone (hey, hey)

[Bridge 1]
[Am]I turn my head to the East
I don't see nobody by my side
[C]I turn my head to the West
Still nobody in sight
[G]So I turn my head to the North
Swallow that pill that they call pride
[F]That old me is dead and gone
[E]But that new me will be alright
[Am]I turn my head to the East
I don't see nobody by my side
[C]I turn my head to the West
Still nobody in sight

Swallow that pill that they call pride
[F]That old me is dead and gone
[E]But that new me will be alright 'cause

[Chorus 4]
[Am]Oh, (hey) I've been travelin' on this road

And [Am]oh, (hey) I've been travelin' on this road
too [C]long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back [G]home
