(feat. John Legend)


[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
