I wish I was Strong enough To lift not one but Both of us
Someday I will be Strong enough To lift not one but Both of us (uh)
Ever thought about losing it? When your money is all gone and you lose your whip (ooh-ooh) You might lose your grip When the landlord tell you that you're due for rent
And the grass so green on the other side Make a nigga wanna run straight through the fence Open up the fridge about 20 times (ooh-ooh) But still can't find no food in it, that's foolishness
And sometimes I wonder Why we care so much about the way we look (ooh-ooh) And the way we talk, and the way we act And the clothes we bought, how much that cost?
Does it even really matter? 'Cause if life is an uphill battle (ooh-ooh) We all try to climb on the same old ladder In the same boat with the same old paddle
Why so shallow? I'm just asking What's the pattern to the madness? (Ooh-ooh) Everybody in a #1 draft pick Most of us ain't Hollywood actors
But if it's all for one, and one for all Then maybe one day we all can ball (ooh-ooh) Do it one time for the underdogs Sincerely yours, from one of y'all
I wish I was Strong enough to Lift not one but Both of us
Someday I will be Strong enough to Lift not one but Both of us
I can feel your pain I can feel your struggle (ooh-ooh) You just want to live, but everything so low That you can drown in the puddle
That's why I gotta hold us up, yeah, hold us up For all the times no one ever spoke for us (ooh-ooh) To every single time that they play this song You can say that, "That's what Bobby Ray wrote for us"
When the tides get too high And the sea up underneath get so deep (ooh-ooh) And you feel like you're just another person Getting lost in the crowd, way up high in the nosebleeds, uh
Because we've both been there, yeah, both of us But we still stand tall, with our shoulders up (ooh-ooh) And even though we always against the odds These are the things that have molded us
And if life hadn't chosen us Sometimes I wonder where I would have wound up 'Cause if it was up to me I'd make a new blueprint then build it from the ground up
Hey, but if it's all for one and one for all Then maybe one day we all could ball Do it one time for the underdogs From Bobby Ray to all of y'all
I wish I was Strong enough to Lift not one but Both of us
Someday I will be Strong enough to Lift not one but Both of us
