Man, I came up from nothin', all I had was a hustle
With a blindfold tryin' to find pieces to the puzzle, no muzzle
But one day of life like a snap shot is taken
And all the things that I know
Through all the highs and lows
Your environment is irrelevant
As a juvenile caught cases so fluently
I tell it like it is, that's that, right or wrong
That you travel on your lifelong mission
You can't take away from me
I ain't really have a role model to influence me
I'ma call it how I see it, don't forget that impossible is nothin'
But God got a plan, I'll understand one day
'Cause when I look back at a fly young cat
'Cause life is like a slide show
And beware of the collisions
And the potholes hidden in the road
And all the things that I dream
If I only knew back then what I know now
'Cause life is like a slide show
Vision in my head, all I had to do is to get it out
And all the things that I've seen
'Cause life is like a slide show
'Cause life is like a slide show
And all the things that I know
And all the places I go
Maybe I'da been Kanye, instead of seein' gunplay
'Cause life is like a slide show
All the places I go
They don't dictate where you headin', they remind you
Never stop thinkin', be aware of your decision
Through all the highs and lows
Just listen everyday like a snap shot is taken
All I see is the opportunity that lead me to truancy
And all the things that I know
How much better life would have been if I'da slowed down
And all the places I go
Through all the highs and lows
And all the things that I've seen
Refuse to give up, your mistakes don't define you
'Cause life is like a slide show
That time keeps tickin', let your mind keep clickin'
I remember when, you remember
You can't take away from me
Look at my life and learn from it, don't do it
Lookin' back on my life time
Uncle [Incomprehensible] they said next it's gonna be you in it
'Cause life is like a slide show
And all the things that I dream
'Cause life is like a slide show
'Cause life is like a slide show
Who could rap with a dream, look where I took that
If you believe you can make it, have faith, be patient
And all the things that I've seen
When I walked out of my house, and look at my street
You can't take away from me
'Cause life is like a slide show
Just don't let your emotions over power your intelligence
If you live you could learn if you just be patient
'Cause life is like a slide show
Beginnin' on bank head, then I spread out
See the slides go by, tryin' to wonder why
And all the things that I dream
Lookin' back at where I've been
