Slides(Album Version) - Lanterna

t.i. - slide show (feat. john legend)
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, write a road, 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 hides alone
‘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 join seat(?)
i ain’t really have a roll model to enforce me
uncle who … ?
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 hides alone
‘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 hides alone
‘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 i see, cause i dream, life is like a slide show
