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 idiot, that's that, right or wrong, I'mma call it how I see it Don't forget that impossible is nothin', your environment is 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 John Legend 'Cuz life is like a SLIDE SHOW And all the places I go And all the things that I know Through all the highs and lows 'Cuz 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 'Cuz life is like a slide show 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 truancy I ain't really have a roll model to enforce me Uncle ? they said next its gunna be you in it 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 John Legend 'Cuz life is like a SLIDE SHOW And all the places I go And all the things that I know Through all the highs and lows 'Cuz 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 'Cuz life is like a slide show John Legend Ouh ouh ouh 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 John Legend 'Cuz life is like a slide show And all the places I go And all the things that I know Through all the highs and lows 'Cuz 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 'Cuz life is like a slide show ooouh ouuh 'Cuz life is like a slide show whooa ouhh oohh 'Cuz life is like a slide show I've seen, I dream Life is like a SLIDE SHOW Ouhh ouh ouhhh
