Verse 1 (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 it is, that's that, write a road, I'mma call it how I see it Don't forget that impossible is nothin', you're a fine mis 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
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 hides alone '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 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 join seat(?) I ain't really have a roll model to enforce me Uncle who...? 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
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 hides alone '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) 'Cause I see, cause I dream, life is like a slide show
