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
Ever thought about losing it?
When your money’s all gone
And you lose your whip,
You might lose your grip
When the landlord’s in
And you’re due for rent
And grass so greener on the other side,
Make a nigga want to run straight through the fence
Open up the fridge about twenty times
But you 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
And the way we talk and the way we act
And the clothes we bought, how much they cost
Does it even really matter?
Cause if life is uphill battle,
We’re all trying to climb with the same old ladder
In the same old boat with the same old paddle
Why so shallow? I’m just askin’
What’s the pattern to the madness,
Everybody in a number one traffic,
Most of us ain’t Hollywood actors
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 underdog,
Sincerely yours, 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
You just wanna live but everything’s so low
You could drown in the puddle
That’s why I gotta hold us up, yeah hold us up
For all the times no one was there for us
So every single time that they play this song
You can say that “that’s where Bobby Ray go for us”
When the tides get too high,
And the sea up underneath gets so deep,
And you feel like you’re just another person getting lost in the crowd
When you’re up high in the nosebleeds
Because we’ve both been there, yeah both us
But we still stand tall with our shoulders up
And even though we always against the odds,
These are the things that have holded us
And If life hadn’t chosen us,
Sometimes I wonder where I would’ve wound up
If it was up to me, I’d make a new blueprint, being gooder from ground up
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 underdog,
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
