Slide Show

Lyrics

[Verse 1: T.I.] 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'ma call it how I see it, don't forget That impossible is nothing, your environment's irrelevant Just don't let your emotions overpower your intelligence Refuse to give up, your mistakes don't define you They don't dictate where you headed, they remind you That time keep ticking, let your mind keep clicking Never stop thinking, be aware of your decisions Be aware of the collisions and the potholes hidden In the road that you travel on your lifelong mission Just listen, every day is like a snapshot taken If you live, you can learn to be patient [Chorus: John Legend] 'Cause life is like a slideshow All the places that I go And aIl the things that I know Through all the highs and lows 'Cause life is like a slideshow And all the things that I've seen And all the things that I've dreamed You can't take away from me 'Cause life is like a slideshow [Verse 2: T.I.] 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 truancy I ain't really have a role model to influence me Uncle Quinn in prison, they say next it's going be you in it As a 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 [Chorus: John Legend] 'Cause life is like a slideshow All the places that I go And aIl the things that I know Through all the highs and lows 'Cause life is like a slideshow And all the things that I've seen And all the things that I've dreamed You can't take away from me 'Cause life is like a slideshow [Bridge: John Legend] Oh, oh, oh Looking back on my lifetime See the slides go by, trying to wonder why Looking back on where I've been I remember when Do you remember then [Chorus: John Legend] 'Cause life is like a slideshow All the places that I go And aIl the things that I know Through all the highs and lows 'Cause life is like a slideshow And all the things that I've seen And all the things that I've dreamed You can't take away from me 'Cause life is like a slideshow
