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
