T.I. ft. John Legend - Slide Show Lyrics

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Hey, when I think about all my time and all my struggle
Through all my grinding and all my troubles
Man I came out 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'm a call it how I see it
Don't forget that impossible is nothing, you're environment's irrelevant
Just don't let your emotions over power your intelligence
Refuse to give up, your mistakes don't define you
They don't dictate where you heading, they remind you
That time keep ticking, let your mind keep clicking
Never stop thinking, be aware of your decisions
And beware of the collisions and the potholes hidden
In the road that you travel on your lifelong mission
Just listen, everyday like a snap shot taken
If you live you could learn to just be patient

'Cause life is like a slide show
All the places I go
And all the things that I know
Through all the highs and lows
'Cause life is like a slide show
And all the things that I've seen
And all the things that I've dreamed
You cant take away from me
'Cause life is like a slide show

As I look back at a fly young cat
Who could rap with a dream, look where I took that
Beginnin' on Bankhead, then it 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 seen is opportunity that lead me to truancy
I ain't really have a role model to influence me
Uncle Quint, they said next it's gon' 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 woulda been if I'da slowed down
Maybe I 'da been Kanye, instead of seeing gun play
But God got a plan, I'll understand one day (yeah, yeah)
But one day of life, like a snap shot taken (yeah)
Just believe you can make it happen, be patient

'Cause life is like a slide show
All the places I go
And all the things that I know
Through all the highs and lows
'Cause life is like a slide show
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 slide show

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Looking back on my life time (ooh)
See the slides go by (ooh)
Time to wonder why
Looking back on where I've been
I remember when
You remember then

'Cause life is like a slide show
All the places I go
And all the things that I know
Through all the highs and lows
'Cause life is like a slide show
And all the things that I've seen
And all the things that I've dreamed
You cant take away from me (oh)
'Cause life is like a slide show

Oh
'Cause life is like a slide show
Oh, oh
'Cause life is like a slide show
I've seen, I've dreamed
Oh life is like a slide show
Oh, oh, oh, oh
