T.I., John Legend - Slide Show lyrics

When I think about all my
Time and all my struggle
Through all my grinding and all my troubles
Man I came up from nothing
All I had was a hustle
With a blindfold trying to find pieces
To the puzzle no muzzle
I tell it like it is, that's that
Right or wrong I'mma call it like
I see it don't forget
That impossible is nothing
Your environments irrelavant
Just don't let your emotions
Overpower your intelligence
Refuse to give up
Your mistakes don't define you
They don't dictate where your
Headed they remind you
The Time keep ticking let
Your mind keep clicking
Never stop thinking be aware
Of your positions be aware of the collisions
And the potholes sitting
On the road that you travel
On your life long mission
Just listen every day is
Like a snapshot taken
If you live you can learn to be patient

Cuz life is like a slideshow
All the places that I go
And I the things that I know
Through all the highs and low
Cuz life is like a slideshow
All things that I've seen
And all the things that I've dreamed
You can't take away from me
Cuz life is like a slideshow

As I look back at a fly young cat
Who could rap with a dream
Look where I took that
Beginning on Bankhead then it spread out
Vision in my head all I had to was get it out
When I walked out of my house
And looked at my street
All I seen was opportunity that
Led me to truency i ain't really have a role
Model to infleunce me
Uncle Quinn in prison they say next
It's going be you in it
As I juvenile caught cases so fluently
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 would of
Been if I'da slowed down
Maybe I'da been Kanye instead
Of seeing Gunplay
But God got a plan, I'll understand one day
But one day of life, like a snapshot taken
Just believe you can make it
Have faith be patient

Cuz life is like a slideshow
All the places that I go
And I the things that I know
Through all the highs and low
Cuz life is like a slideshow
All things that I've seen
And all the things that I've dreamed
You can't take away from me
Cuz life is like a slideshow

Ohhhh, ohhh, ohhhhhh'!
Looking back on my lifetime
See the slides go by, sometimes I wonder why
Looking back on where I've been
I remember when do you remember then

Cuz life is like a slideshow
All the places that I go
And I the things that I know
Through all the highs and low
Cuz life is like a slideshow
All things that I've seen
And all the things that I've dreamed
You can't take away from me
Cuz life is like a slideshow
