Slide Show Lyrics
Ey , when I think about all my time and all my struggle
Through all my grindin’ and all my troubles
When I came out 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’, you’re a fine mis irrelevant(?)
Just don’t let your emotions over power your intelligent
Refuse to give up, your mistakes will define you
Down 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 hiddin’ 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
‘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
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 roll model to enforce me
Uncle (someone?) they said next its gunna be you in it
As a juvenile count cases so florally 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 it would have been if I slowed down
Maybe I have been Kanye, instead of seeing gunplay
But god got a plan, I’ll understand one day,
one day of life like a snap shot is taken,
if you live you could learn to 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
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
‘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
Through all my grindin’ and all my troubles
When I came out 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’, you’re a fine mis irrelevant(?)
Just don’t let your emotions over power your intelligent
Refuse to give up, your mistakes will define you
Down 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 hiddin’ 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
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

wow this song is deep, its about keeping your head up during hard times and to remember where you came from and be humble. I personally love this song it gets me thinking about all the good memories in my life. john legend was perfect for the chorus. t.i.'s lyrics were top of the line in this song
deeep.
deeep.
in the beginning when he says about all my time is he talking about being in jail?
"If I only knew back then what I know now, how much better life it would have been if I slowed down." This line really holds a great deal of meaning to me and I think it does to a lot of people. If I knew what I know now before, how different could my life have been. When I look back on the "slide show" that was, its easy to see how good life could've been, but you can't think of life in that sense because only tomorrow brings and yesterday has already been brought.
This song is amazing - I first heard it on a plane back from Singapore. It's rare that one line in a song can be so true but life really is like a slide show. I always feel like moments and people and feelings pass by before they can truly be appreciated.
