Hey, when I think about all my time and all my struggle 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'ma 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 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 decision 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 if you just be patient '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 'Cause when I look back at a fly young cat Who could rap with a dream, look where I took that Beginnin' on bank head, 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 [Incomprehensible] they said next it's 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'da slowed down Maybe I'da been Kanye, instead of seein' 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 '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 Lookin' back on my life time See the slides go by, tryin' to wonder why Lookin' back at where I've been I remember when, you remember '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 'Cause life is like a slide show 'Cause life is like a slide show I see, I dream, life is like a slide show
