[Verse One: T.I.] When I think about all my time and all my struggle Through all my grinding and all my troubles Man I came up 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'ma call it like I see it don't forget That impossible is nothing your environments irrelavant just don't let your emotions overpower your intelligence Refuse to give up, your mistakes don't define you they don't dictate where your headed they remind you The Time keep ticking let your mind keep clicking Never stop thinking be aware of your positions Be aware of the collisions and the potholes sitting on the road that you travel on your life long mission just listen every day is like a snapshot taken if you live you can learn to be patient
[Hook: John Legend] Cuz life is like a slideshow all the places that I go and I the things that I know through all the highs and low Cuz life is like a slideshow All things that I've seen and all the things that I've dreamed you can't take away from me cuz life is like a slideshow
[Verse Two: T.I.] As I look back at a fly young cat who could rap with a dream look where I took that Beginning on Bankhead then it spread out vision in my head all I had to was get it out when I walked out of my house and looked at my street All I seen was opportunity that led me to truency I ain't really have a role model to infleunce me Uncle Quinn in prison they say next it's going be you in it As I 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 of been if I'da 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 snapshot taken Just believe you can make it have faith be patient
[Hook]
[Legend singing] Ohhhh, ohhh, ohhhhhh~! Looking back on my lifetime see the slides go by, sometimes I wonder why looking back on where I've been I remember when do you remember then
