I wish I was strong enough
to lift not one but both of us
Some day 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 tell ya
that you're due for rent
And the grass so green
on the other side
Make a ***** wanna run
straight through the fence
Open up the fridge
bout twenty times
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
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
we all tryna climb
With the same ol' ladder
In the same boat with
the same ol' paddle
Why so shallow I'm just asking
What's the pattern
to the madness
Everybody ain't a
number one 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
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
Some day 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 so low
That you could
drown in a puddle
That's why I gotta hold us up
yeah hold us up
For all the times
no one's ever spoke for us
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
And you feel like
you're just another person
getting lost in the crowd
Way up high in the nosebleed
Uh because we won't
be near yet both of us
But we still stand tall
With our shoulders up
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've 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 can 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
Some day I will
be strong enough
To lift not one but both of us
