Witout da braids I'm da closest thing to O-Dawg
Minus the testimony,

Aye, where I live just as big as yo projects, dog

What I drive, how I dress, nigga looks just betta,
Hundred stacks on that nigga I'm just...Betta
Hahahahaha
Somebody better tell 'em mayne
They swag owe my swag everything
Very plain to see you study me awful hard
To the point that my swag need a bodyguard
I'd like to thnik to thank you cuz uhh ya'll oughta be
Havin' ya'll swags sendin mines an apology
A lot of little mes, I see, got beef
But what's the possibility, stop, see, you not me
Hardly work for hella beams,
Step up to the guillotine
Get decapitated,
Don't see how half you rappas made it
Say good...bye to the fame and the fortune
Say la vi
What the game need with you, nigga? They got me
I ride through the city so clean,
Seat really low, auto-mo
billies, so pretty, but I'm illy tho
No comparison
Ain't a nigga mo' thorough than this gangsta american
Flow, dope or da heroin,
King like Evalyn,
Champaigne mayne
So durranged and buligerant
Ranked up there with Benjamin
Who? Andre 3K, B.I.G., Jay-Z, UGK, Scarface, Machievelli the great,
Wayne, Common, Kanye and
Lupe
So f**k what you say
You welcome to ask who you made,
Bet they say as of today,
I'm back on top like a toupe
Hey
All objections overruled
It's overdue both high,
and sober too, I'm so high
up over you,
Same guy you see in the streets it's as fly as here in the booth,
So don't be surprised when you meet me to see that I'm really the truth,
Oooo
So uncoof
Nigga, who want proof?
Must agree that shit idea,
Can't no one undo,
I stay on my 1,2
Nigga who want 2?
Turn a brunch into a brawl,
Do what you gon' do,
I'm wired
Hot as a bitch and still,
Cool as a fridge and dear,
This year I'm on a mission dear,
Think that was somethin'? Listen here...

[Intro:]
Rappin for the hell of it
Hella rich never have to sell a brick again
Must I tell a bitch again
The Bullshit I'm addressing check I'm on some next level shit
Never been f**ked in the game I'm celibate
Rarely out my element, barely out the ghetto with
One for thy and one for them intelligent as fellas get
Listen let's settle then, be clear I could fall back seven years
And still ain't no one ahead of me

[Verse 1:]
Consider it a blessing if you get to stand next to me
Five star general O.G. veteran
Caked like edimen blowing that celery
Stack that cash like the U.S. treasury
Every single thing I ever done was done heavily
Rap until your seventy still ain't catching me
Put it on my pops, big phil aunt beverly
Be standing on the top still after they bury me
Nose in the air so stuck up arrogant
Ain't got long hot songs best cherish it
Whoever drop mine that's ova phenito
You paying for your foul like a freethrow (thou)
Now how could a nigga think that he could see me
Other than the magazine covers or the t.v.
You know I sold more mixtapes than your cd
You’re waiting on your big break praying you can beat me
You ain't made it far as DC on the low
I been all around the globe like a god how they treat me
Broads hit they knees eyes closed when they greet me
Mouth wide open just begging me to skeet skeet
You in a deep sleep stop dreaming
I'm six albums in for 10 years I been firin hot semen
The limelights mine I'm gleaming beaming
That's why I say I'm KING bitch I got my reasons

[Chorus:]
Wrist so frosty, neck so chilly
All on my mind is to get more millies
Niggas talk shit that's silly
Shawty he ain't about that really is he
Nigga I'm illy
Hey I run this city clearly
Tell em get lost I’m busy really
Nigga I'm illy

[Verse 2:]
Where niggas get off piss off
Me and mine only take time to pop a lid off
Shit all over the way bouncing me is ya'll
Seeing you f**king mind you figuring I would fizz off
Never cooled off tip scorching
Minimal injury though they missing me maximum fortune
Number one hands down flow paints portraits
Everybody think you stink like horse shit
House full of chicks on some girl next door shit
A king who gon sell 30 mill out the store quick
Of course this case lost all my endorsements
Tripled up on real estate still buying more shit
Tip bankrupt according to your sources
I'm still caked up along with more reinforcements
Tore shit up from the ladder to the rooftops
Officially the hottest nigga rapping since tupac
Before you rap bout me best ask bout me
I'm out my f**king mind need counseling
Please don't doubt me trust me drama ain't nothing
It's all fun and games till somebody start busting
Remember my discussion when rappers be battling
I find out about it better get to skedaddling
Pack your family’s bags move em out to seattley
you ever crawl back you'll need ambulance and bandages
Live life glamorous so extravagant
Mandarin oriental worldwide traveling
Hip hop champion for real though
You couldn’t f**k with me with a brazil hoe nigga
But still though

[Chorus:]
Wrist so frosty, neck so chilly
All on my mind is to get more millies
Niggas talk shit that's silly
Shawty he ain't about that really is he
Nigga I'm illy
Hey I run this city clearly
Tell em get lost I’m busy really
Nigga I'm illy

[T.I.]
man i remember before i say that wait let me issue this statement
no way should reflection be mistaking for glorification
now i remember so vivid me and my niggas was living
sub-standard condition still handling business
still laughing and tripping still having the bitches
im rapping now reminiscing and god damn it we made it
from trapping standing and pitching with rich we stand in the kitchen
splitting it eight ways flipping it 8 days
thought that while in a room it was just the way to behave
kept the weight and the yey for most the paper we made in all dimes
i aint lieing the pleasure was all mine
have big work to move but we served the small time
i always outshined the niggas with small minds
who would of thought we would be arguably the greatest of all time
around here we developed such a sound down here
but duplicate it off the steel it can only be found here
only listen to gs that other shit i dont hear
shit they so far in the rear how would i even care
im too busy being a player staring at niggas careers
but talk about it for years and now we finally here


[Chorus:]
i used to dream (i used to dream) oh whoah
about the money and the cars and girls (and the girls)
but now i sing (now i sing) oh whoah
because im sitting on top of the world (the whole world)
and now i sing sing sing sing cause im sitting on top of the world
and now i sing sing sing sing sitting on top of the world


[Ludacris:]
they say what goes up must come down but i aint reached my cruising altitude
take a look at what i did but can you imagine what im about to do
the places im bout to go and the money im bout to see
gave bill gates some binoculaurs and said look out for me
and see these expectations even at def jam
cause i married the streets and atlanta has been my best man
my momma quit her job and now she works with six figures
cause im a self-made nappy-headed rich nigga
private planes help me travel in peace
to four cities in one day and four countries in one week
cause i work for myself and no one else cause im too smart too
put one of my partners right through culinary art school
now he my personal chef so that bread he get it
put them all in houses cleaned up all of my friends credit
and now they witness all the glitz and the glamour
catch us eating at straits atlanta with women with table manners
order in singapore and lobster
celebrating coming from nothing to winning grammys and rappers winning oscars
and they say rappers shouldnt act nahh suckers
we see samuel jackson like whats up mother f**kerrr


[Chorus:]
i used to dream (i used to dream) oh whoah
about the money and the cars and girls (and the girls)
but now i sing (now i sing) oh whoah
because im sitting on top of the world (the whole world)
and now i sing sing sing sing cause im sitting on top of the world
and now i sing sing sing sing sitting on top of the world


[T.I.]
i know them haters dont stop plotting and wish you would fall
cause im standing on top looking down at it all
i see you down there to yall this aint like i got it all
homie i aint get enough im still trying to triple up
so all we got is street cred and a cool building up
say im doing too much shit i say i aint did enough
remember saying damn if i could just get to a million plus
and now im like shit what the f**k is a million bucks
triple that on my bun thanks to bigs and run
but nevermind what ive been through just look at what i become
all the shit ive avoided what i done for my sons
hand dollars and momma just call her
i sold dope and dropped out of school seems its all they can see
they dont notice none of my family did that since me
i broke that cycle now my family live a life of
mandatory minimals but not when the judge sentence them
cousins in college where you think they get tuition from
jeffrey standing around wishing huh
and while you standing around looking dumb
i make it happen taking action over time got damn good at it

[Chorus:]
i used to dream (i used to dream) oh whoah
about the money and the cars and girls (and the girls)
but now i sing (now i sing) oh whoah
because im sitting on top of the world (the whole world)
and now i sing sing sing sing cause im sitting on top of the world
and now i sing sing sing sing sitting on top of the world

You're gonna be a shining star

Nevermind what haters say
ignore them til they fade away
Amazing they ungreat for after
all the game I gave away
Safe to say I paved the way
for you cats to get paid today
You still be wasting days away
nah had I never saved the day
Consider them my protg
how much I think
they should pay
Instead of being gracious
they violated
and made you wait
I never been a hater still
I love them
yeah I graze the way
Some say they so yay
and no they couldn't
even work on Labor day
It aint that they black or white
their hands of area
in shades of grey
I'm West side anyway
even if I left the day
it fades away
Some move away to make a way
not move away cause they afraid
I'll go back to the hood
and all you ever did was hate away
I pray for patience
but they make me want to face away
Like I once made them scream
now I could make them plead
their case away
Been thuggin all my life
can't say I don't m
deserve to take a break
If you ever see me catch a case
and watch my future fade away
You're gonna be a shining star
in fancy clothes
and fancy car ars
And then you'll see
you're gonna go far
Cause everyone knows
just who you are are
So live your life ay ay ay
Your steady chasing that paper

You got no time for no hata's
Just live your life ay ay ay
No telling where it'll take ya
Just live your life ay ay ay
Cause I'm a paper chaser
Just living my life

I'm the opposite of moderate
immaculately polished with the spirit
of a hustler and the swagger
of a college kid
Allergic to the counterfeit
impartial to the politics
Articulate
but still would grab a nigga
by the collar quick
Whoever had problems
they reckonsile
they just holla til
If that don't work
and just fails
then turn around and follow til
I got love for the game but ay
I'm not in love with all of it
I do without the fame
and the rappers
nowadays are comedy
The hootin and the hollerin
back and forth with the argueing
Where you from
what you know
what you make and
what kind of car you in
Seems as though you
lost sight of whats important
with the positive
And checks until
your bank account
and you're about poverted
Your values is a disarrayed
prioritized are horribly
Unhappy with the riches cause you
pis pone morraly
Ignoring all prior advice
and fore warning
And we might be full
of ourselves all of a
sudden aren't we
You're gonna be a shining star
in fancy clothes
and fancy car ars
And then you'll see
you're gonna go far
Cause everyone knows
just who you are are
So live your life ay ay ay
You steady chasing that paper
Just live your life
Oh ay ay ay
You got no time for no hata's
Just live your life
Oh ay ay ay
No telling where
it'll take ya
Just live your life
Oh ay ay ay
Cause I'm a paper chaser
Just living my life
my life my life my life
just living my life
my life my life my life
taht eveybody what's wanna do
come what came what shoes
and see the way living if you

Hey, hey
Hey what's happenin' e'erybody
I hope they get my good side
You know I gotta look good when I walk out the house
You know I know the camera's following
I know they taking pictures, right Drama
Ay man, you watch it I live it, you dig that
Y'all sit back relax get some popcorn man
I'm gonna make it a good show, you dig that
This goin' make a hell of a movie huh




My life, your entertainment
You watch it while I live it (live it)
I walk they follow (ay)
I talk they holla (ay)
Just here for your amusement
My life, your entertainment
You watch it while I live it (live it)
You waitin' for me to lose it
I guess I'm just here for your amusement




The price of fame I think I paid, want my change I done gave
E'erything in my possession for my seconds on the stage
For my name up in lights and multi-million record sales
I done gave up my life, can't get a moment to myself
When alone I ask myself, is it worth it? I ain't perfect
Neither is anybody else, but I think my kids deserve
To be with Daddy out in public without all the interruptions
When the lies and gossip's published I'm the topic of discussion
And I stay in trouble just to show these suckers I ain't lost it
And I'd do it all again that's the funny thing about it
I ain't playing, boy I'm 'bout it
Will I change, boy I doubt it
I done been a lot of things, I ain't never been a coward
See the paparazzi crowded all around me now
Same niggas who was dissin' want a pound like I'm C now
Showered with support from my adoring fans
They hear T.I.'s arrested they're like here we go again




My life, your entertainment
You watch it while I live it (live it)
I walk they follow (ay)
I talk they holla (ay)
Just here for your amusement
My life, your entertainment
You watch it while I live it (live it)
You waitin' for me to lose it
I guess I'm just here for your amusement




You've seen it all before, guys know how the story goes
It's like 2Pac never died, sit back, enjoy the show
You see the shit that scares you senseless, I done lived through it
Knew the risks and the consequences and I still do it
And then I'm so fresh, them niggas mildew it
Not just a actor by profession, pimp, I live movies
That's why they whisper when they see me, point and stare at me
'Cause they just wanna live through me vicariously
Fashion weekend, Paris week, party like a rockstar
Get blown by a top model 'til she catch lockjaw
Got the dough you get a year, stashed in my sock drawer
Showed you the troubles and the struggles of an outlaw
Top dog would not fall, I am not y'all
Couple pages out the calendar and I'm out y'all
Kid listen, pay attention, you don't wanna be me
It's safer to watch it on T.V.




My life, your entertainment
You watch it while I live it (live it)
I walk they follow (ay)
I talk they holla (ay)
Just here for your amusement
My life, your entertainment
You watch it while I live it (live it)
You waitin' for me to lose it
I guess I'm just here for your amusement




See I don't think it would even matter (to me)
Woking a nine to (five) would it be better
I mean be honest, would you care to gossip about me
Not likely
I guess that's just the way that it goes (the way that it goes)
('Cause I know) See I can be somewhere out keeping it cool
(And get told) Almost anything instead of the truth
Y'all know more than I do, it's breaking news to me too
Easy killer y'all know that ain't how I move (ooh)
He said and she said (what) I did what, with they (who)
No not me I said (not me) she gave me no head (ooh)
Won't get me again (hey) I pleaded the fifth (hey)
I know better than to ever talk during the film...
In' and flashing lights can blind your eyesight
To when you can't see what's wrong from right
Well shorty 'til you walk a mile in my shoes
And understand this is who I am
Usher I completely concur
Life can be such a blur, obviously we prefer
Our privacy but instead we endure
Yes sir, don't expect nothin' less of me
'Cause this goin' probably be this way until the death of me
But for the hustle and the lady on my arm now
Plus all my kids and my mom's I'm a calm down
And yo, we doin' just fine, and the time's just flyin'
Live one headline at a time




My life, your entertainment
You watch it while I live it (live it)
I walk they follow (ay)
I talk they holla (ay)
Just here for your amusement
My life, your entertainment
You watch it while I live it (live it)
You waitin' for me to lose it
I guess I'm just here for your amusement

Hey Hey Hey Hey
Damn shawty
Look at you
I'm just saying man
Is it just me or you got too much ass in them jeans
Come here

Hey
I been watchin' you a while now
And I just wanna find a way to make you smile now
Why you blushing, forget about them other guys now
I know you ain't trying to tell me that you shy now
I realize that you're beauty could intimidate
Them suckers you ain't got no business for them anyway
With such a, pretty face big booty, little waistline...
I wanna grab from behind to the bass line.
Have a great time, pull yourself a shot girl
Chase it with the lime, now you feeling like a hot girl
I know you're probably used to deal with them wannabe's
But honestly I gotta say, I'm who they wanna be.
I promise all I wanna see is you [? ] me
Now we can disappear whenever, when you wanna leave
I could guarantee the ride of your life
Any fantasies on your mind, we can try them tonight

[Hook:]
Oh yeah sitting here (I'm looking at you like that)
We sippin' on patron, something's on my mind (you wanna leave with me tonight)
It's been killing me all night long, and I wonder(Misses shawty let me tell you what I'm thinking 'bout)
Oh girl I wonder (for real shawty let me tell you what I'm thinking 'bout)
It's the end of the night, and I'm thinking you might
Wanna leave the bar, park the car, turn into a porn star

Yes, I'd love to hear about your interests
I gotta say, your intellect got me impressed
See you're panty's, do your dress like a silhouette(look at that)
Patrone got me thinking sex, did you feelin' that
All due respect though, a simple yes- no
Hey let yourself let go, shawty let's go (let's go)
Pull you to the crib, get you to the dress show
Kiss you from your pretty lips till you red toes
I'm thinking it's the end of the night
Hey you could leave with your friend if you like
But I'm saying no (I'm saying no)
Hey we could ride out
Back to my house
I wanna see you satisfied inside out
Once I'm in you ain't gon' want me to slide out
You tell your girlfriends they gon' wanna try out
A lil more let's loosen you up
What we can't do in the club we can do in the truck (let's go)

[Hook:]
Oh yeah sitting here (I'm looking at you like that)

Oh girl I wonder... (for real shawty let me tell you what I'm thinking 'bout)
It's the end of the night, and I'm thinking you might
Wanna leave the bar, park the car, turn into a porn star

Hey would you... stay
Could you... play with it, with your tongue just a... little
You such a sexy individual physical and mental
And if it's sentimental shouldn't rules bend a little
Hey let me start at the top stop in the middle use a popsicle
Make you shiver [? ]
I could talk to you dirty if you'd like that (bad girl)
I finish once, hit a blunt, start right back
I know you told me you a good girl
But shawty you's grown woman not a little girl
You could blame it on the patron or the champagne
But sometimes being bad could be a good thing

[Hook:]

[Intro: T.I.]
Real talk, true story (uh-huh)
No nuts, no glory (uh-uh)
Y'knowmsayin? (Real talk)
Ay dawg (yeah yeah)
I'ma tell you like this

[Chorus: T.I.]
Hey I'm so raw, and I'm so rich
And you so flawed niggaz ain't 'bout shit
I'll take yo' broad, I can fuck yo' bitch
Know that I'm gon' ball every chance I get
Every chance I get, real talk, no shit
Every chance I get, make money on this
I'll take yo' broad, I can fuck yo' bitch
Know that I'm gon' ball every chance I get, every chance I get

[T.I.]
They say it's lonely at the top, but I don't feel lonely
Got my homies out in Hollywood so I don't feel phony
Ain't another nigga colder, cribs all over
Flash-in-pan, these other rappers catch a number, Coca-Cola
I'm exceedin expectations, you barely meetin quota
I give it to 'em straight, you cut it with baking soda
You said I ain't Zone One, nigga ha, that's a funny one
I'm King like my 3 year-old, Major like my youngest son
Got one named Domani, so you know what I'm gettin (guap)
Deyjah and Neek-Neek and Messiah like "Daddy, get 'em"
Got an angel named Leah here to keep me outta prison
And my partner Jason Geter to help me see about a billion
Listen; Grand Hustle, best respect this vision
My records sell about a million, but shit that just the beginnin
What with Club Crucial and Grand Hustle film division
Multiplication to get the paper, I let the clique do the division
Break bread, StreetCred.com makin a killin
Plus "A King of Oneself," high fashion, I'm flashin
I'm, ready for whatever though, trained to go you better know
Put dick up in whoever hoe, let 'em know

[Chorus]

[T.I.]
I gotta thank my lucky stars cause it came so far
Dope game, rap game, 'bout the same so far
Brag about your lil' Benz, nigga that ain't no car
I got some shit in my garage that requires a chauffeur
High as gas is, the country at war and people are starvin
And I pay a million dollars for Ferrari's, retarded, huh?
Sorry bruh, been a dick that been ballin since it started up
Season hoe, get 'em all to fuck cause they know this dough stack tall as fuck
Nah, it ain't that I'm rich that they hate so much
Least I could do it, not rub it in niggaz face so much
So I'm tryin now while I'm rhymin not to brag about the island
Or the crib in Hawaii where all the walls slide in
House is wide open, we could bring the outside in
I think you should hear about it, but fuck it I'll be quiet
I just spit it how I live it homie I don't be lyin
Would it make you feel better if I put my pockets on the die?
If I made less money, started to dress bummy
Would the haters and the critics have more respect for me?
Should I downgrade the crib and the way I live?
Now how about I don't and we just say I did, nigga

[Chorus]

[Outro: T.I.]
Ay say homeboy
It's real talk comin at you live and direct homeboy, you dig that?
Heh, you could hate all you want partna
I'ma give you somethin to hate on, bitch nigga
Ha ha! Grand Hustle, you understand?
DJ Toomp you did yo' muh'fuckin thang as usual
Ay-hey look, P$C partna, Pimp Squad Click
Ay, Big Kuntry you up next homie
It's the king, BITCH!
Yeahhhhhh, they say I ain't Zone One, bitch nigga
My grandmama been livin on Center Hill 43 years, hoe-ass nigga
You understand that? Nigga come meet me nigga
See me nigga! You know?
Why niggaz gotta wait 'til a nigga got the police watchin you
and start kickin that fuck shit, you know?
You know how I get down, you know what it was nigga
You know you don't wanna see me, bitch nigga!
Yeahhhhhh, AY!

[Chorus]

Ayo I know I got it first
I'm Christopher Columbus
y'all just the pilgrims
Thanksgiving do
we even gotta question
Hermes Pastelle
I pass the dressing
My attitude is tattooed
that means it's permanent
so I guess i should
address it huh
My swagger is mick jagger
every time I breathe
on the track I asthma attack it
Why he's so mad for
why he gotta have it
cuz I slaved my whole life
now I'm the master
Na Na Na
How it feel to wake up
and be the shit and the urine
Na na na na na
Trying to get that Kobe number

cuz my knots don't fit
No one on the corner
gotta pocket like this
so I rock Roc jeans
cuz my knots so thick
You can learn
how to dress just by
jocking my fresh
jocking jocking my fresh
jocking jocking my fresh
Follow my steps
it's the road to success
where the niggas know you thoro
and the girls say yes
But I can't teach you my swag
you can pay for school
but you can't buy class
School of hard knocks I'm a grad
and that all blue yankee
is my graduation cap
it's Hovaaaaa
Dipping different rovers
whipping with the soda
Hovaaaaa
Could u even have any

Run up in your shit

Runnin this shit like

When it comes to styles

sharper than a swagger
dagger all metal
And my jew elz blue and yellow

Rules as follows stay

ya say
thats right
You go see Weezy
for the wordplay
Jeezy for the birdplay
Kanyeezy for diversity
and me for controversy
All my verses picture perfect
and they meant to
serve a purpose
you ain't living what you
kicking and you worthless
Looking from the surface
it may seem
that I got reason to be nervous
then observe my work and see
that my adversity was worth it
Verses autobiographical
absolutely classical
last thing I'm worried bout is
what another rapper do
Ain't nobody hot as me even
if they rap they ass
off blast off and have
outstanding qualities
Sell alotta records
I respect and salute that
but spitting real life on
hot beats I'm the truth at
You kick it like me
no exaggeration necessary
living revolutionary
nothing less than legendary
Gangsta shit hereditary
got it from my dad
flow colder than February
with extraordinary swag
no one on the corner
have swagger like us
swagger like us
swagger swagger like us
no one on the corner
have swagger like us

Verse 1 (T.I.) Ey  when I think about all my time and all my struggle Through all my grindin’ and all my troubles When I came out from nothin’  all I had was a hustle With a blindfold tryin’ to find pieces to the puzzle no muzzle I tell it like it is that’s that write a road I’mma call it how I see it Don’t forget that impossible is nothin’ you’re a fine mis irrelevant(?) Just don’t let your emotions over power your intelligent Refuse to give up your mistakes will define you Down dictate where you headin’ then remind you That time keeps tickin’ let your mind keep clickin’ Never stop thinkin’ be aware of your decision Everywhere the collisions And the potholes hiddin’ in the road that you travel on your lifelong mission Just listen everyday like a snap shot is taken if you live you could learn to just be patient Chorus (John Legend) ‘Cause life is like a slide show And all the places I go And all the things that I know Through all the hides alone ‘Cause life is like a slide show And all the things that I’ve seen And all the things that I dream You can’t take away from me ‘Cause life is like a slide show Verse 2 (T.I.) ‘Cause when I look back at a fly young cat Who could rap with a dream look where I took that Beginning on bankhead then I spread out Vision in my head all I had to do is to get it out When I walked out of my house and look at my street All I see is the opportunity that lead me to join seat(?) I ain’t really have a roll model to enforce me Uncle who … ? As a juvenile count cases so florally look at my life and learn from it don’t do it If I only knew back then what I know now how much better life it would have been if I slowed down Maybe I have been Kanye instead of seeing gunplay But god got a plan I’ll understand one day one day of life like a snap shot is taken if you live you could learn to just be patient
Chorus (John Legend) ‘Cause life is like a slide show And all the places I go And all the things that I know Through all the hides alone ‘Cause life is like a slide show And all the things that I’ve seen And all the things that I dream You can’t take away from me ‘Cause life is like a slide show Bridge (John Legend) Looking back on my life time See the slides go by trying to wonder why Looking back at where I’ve been I remember when you remember
Chorus (John Legend) ‘Cause life is like a slide show And all the places I go And all the things that I know Through all the hides alone ‘Cause life is like a slide show And all the things that I’ve seen And all the things that I dream You can’t take away from me ‘Cause life is like a slide show (3x) ‘Cause I see cause I dream life is like a slide show

Big Phil, This is for you pimpin'

[Hook: Justin Timberlake (T.I.)]
Ohh (hey)
I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just tryin to find my way back home (back home)

Dead and Gone,
And Ohh.. (hey)
I've been travelin on this road too long (too long)
Just tryin to find my way back home (back home)
The old me's dead and gone,
Dead and Gone, yeahhe

[Verse 1: T.I.]
Every had one of them day wish you would have stayed home,
Run into a group of niggas who gettin their hate on,
You walk by - they get wrong,
You reply then shit get blown,
Way out of proportion way pass discussion,
Just you against them pick one then rush them,
Figure you get jumped here thats next,
They don't wanna stop there now they bustin,
Now you gushin ambulance rushin
You to the hospital with a bad concusion,
Plus you hit four times bullet hit yo spine,
Paralyzed waist down and ya wheelchair bound,
Never mind that now you lucky to be alive,
Just think it all started you fussin wit three guys,
Nigga pride in the way but your pride is the way you can f**k
around get shot down anyday,
Niggas die everyday,
All over bullshit, dope money, dice games, for 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 they back against the wall,
So they just start shootin,
For red or for blue or for blow I guess,
From Bankhead upto your projects,

[Bridge 1: T.I.]
No more stray now I'm straight,
Now I get it now I take time to think before I make mistakes just for my family 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,

[Hook: Justin Timberlake (T.I.)]
Ohh (hey)
I've been travelin on
