What do you like, the beat or the song? Or is it both? T.I known as Clifford Harris Jr. was born September 25th, 1980 in Atlanta, Georgia [Bankhead]. Known as the greatest rappers, T.I made an excel album Paper Trail which has a song on there that sends out a message. The song Dead and Gone is the best song ever. The sound is good, brings vivid pictures to your mind, and shows a new perspective.
The way the beat flow with the chorus makes it a good sound. The chorus "Oh (hey), I've been traveling on this road too long (too long), Just trying to find my way back home (back home), But the old me is dead and gone, Dead and Gone, And Oh (hey), I've been traveling on this road too long (too long), Just trying to find my way back home (back home) But the old me is dead and gone, Dead and Gone". This is a good sound because if you sit there and think about what he just said in his chorus, the point he is trying to get across is violence affecting our nation. In one part of the chorus he says "I've been traveling this road too long (too long), Just trying to find my way back home (back home)", this meaning that he been living his life for too long, and he just now starting to get to find his way through life, but violence got into his way and took him through another situation. So he now feels dead and gone.
The vivid pictures that were brought throughout T.I's song, Dead and Gone were in one part of verse one. In the one part in verse one, it stated "They don't wanna stop there now they busting,
Now you gushing ambulance rushing, You to the hospital with a bad concussion, Plus you hit four times but it hit yo spine, Paralyzed waist down and ya wheelchair bound". This was when he ran into a group of boys but didn't want to start anything, but an argument was caused so the boys jumped him and started to shoot at him. Now he ended up paralyzed from his waist and down. He didn't mean for this to happen but he ran into a group of boys at the wrong time and ended up in the hospital.
T.I's song, Dead and Gone new perspective is "Things get out of control". This meaning that you can just walk the streets and you can end up shot, dead, or injured. Like in his song, one part was stated that "You walk by-they get wrong, You reply, then sh*t get blown". T.I's trying to get across that you can just walk by someone and they jealous or something, they decides to do something wrong. Once you reply, things get out of control. So in the bridge of his song, he says "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 my sight, So I turn my head to the north swallow that pill I call my pride". He saying that east and west isn't the direction to take, but north is, and he swallows that pill he calls pride because he know that going the right path can cause some critical damage as well.
Known as one of the best songs (Dead and Gone) written by T.I has a good sound, vivid/broad pictures, and has an excel new perspective. Just do what is best for you. Don't be a follower, be a leader. Like T.i has stated, swallow that pill that you call pride.
