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´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 nigga 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 up hill 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
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 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 nosebleeds
Uh, because we´ve both been there, yeah, 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´ve 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
Than 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
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
Oh, oh....
