Slide Show Lyrics - John Legend

1 Oh, oh, oh, oh

2 Hey , when I think about all my time and all my struggle

3 Through all my grinding and all my troubles

4 Man I came out from nothing , all I had was a hustle

5 With a blindfold trying to find pieces to the puzzle, no muzzle

6 I tell it like it is, that's that, right or wrong, I'm a call it how I see it

7 Don't forget that impossible is nothing, you're environment is irrelevant

8 Just don't let your emotions over power your intelligent

9 Refuse to give up, your mistakes will define you

10 Down dictate where you heading, then remind you

11 That time keeps ticking, let your mind keep clicking

12 Never stop thinking, be aware of your decision

13 Be aware of the collisions

14 And the potholes hidin' in the road that you travel on your lifelong mission

15 Just listen everyday like a snap shot is taken,

16 If you live you could learn to just be patient

17 [Chorus]

18 Cause life is like a slide show

19 And all the places I go

20 And all the things that I know

21 Through all the highs and lows

22 Cause life is like a slide show

23 And all the things that I've seen

24 And all the things that I've dreamed

25 You cant take away from me

26 Cause life is like a slide show

27 As I look back at a fly young cat

28 Who could rap with a dream, look where I took that

29 Beginnin' on Bankhead, then I spread out

30 Vision in my head, all I had to do is to get it out

31 When I walked out of my house, and look at my street

32 All I see is the opportunity that lead me to truancy

33 I ain't really have a roll model to influence me

34 Uncle Joink, said next year it's just gonna be you in it

35 As a juvenile caught cases so fluently

36 Look at my life and learn from it, don't do it

37 If I only knew back then what I know now,

38 How much better life it would have been if I slowed down

39 Maybe I have been Kanye, instead of seeing gun play

40 But god got a plan, I'll understand one day,

41 But one day of life like a snap shot is taken,

42 If you live you could learn to just be patient

43 [Chorus]

44 Looking back on my life time

45 See the slides go by

46 Time to wonder why

47 Looking back on where I've been

48 I remember when

49 You remember

50 [Chorus]

51 Cause life is like a slide show

52 Cause life is like a slide show

53 Have seen, have dreamed, oh life is like a slide show
