T.I. - Slide Show lyrics

Verse 1 (T.I.) Hey, when I think about all my time and all my struggles Through all my grindin' and all my troubles Man I came up from nothin' , all I had was a hustle With a blindfold tryin' to find pieces to the puzzle, no muzzle I tell it like it is, that's that, right or wrong, I'mma call it how I see it Don't forget that impossible is nothin', 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 headin', they remind you That time keeps tickin', let your mind keep clickin' Never stop thinkin', 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 is taken, if you live you could learn to be great, be patient Chorus (John Legend) ‘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 dream You can't take away from me ‘Cause life is like a slide show Verse 2 (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 get it out When I walked out of my house, and look at my street All I see is the opportunity that led me to truancy I ain't really have a role model to enforce me Uncle (someone?) they said next its gunna be you in it As a juvenile count 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 it would have been if I had slowed down Maybe I'd 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 believe you could make it, have faith, be patient Chorus (John Legend) ‘Cause 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 ‘Cause 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 ‘Cause life is like a slide show Bridge (John Legend) Looking back on my life time See the slides go by, trying to wonder why Looking back on where I've been I remember when, you remember Chorus (John Legend) ‘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 dream You can't take away from me ‘Cause life is like a slide show (3x) I see, I dream, life is like a slide show
