Verse 1 (T.I.). Hey when I think about all my time and all my struggle. Through all my grindin’ and all my troubles. When 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 is irrelevant. Just don’t let your emotions over power your intelligent. Refuse to give up your mistakes will define you. they dont 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 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 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 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 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 role model to influence me. Uncle (someone?) they said next its gonna 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 have been if I 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 snap shot is taken. if you believe you can 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 at where I’ve been. I remember when you remember. 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 (3x). ‘Cause I see cause I dream life is like a slide show
