Chorus
I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both us
Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us
Verse 1
Ever thought about losing it? When your money is all gone and you
Lose your whip you might lose your grip, when the landlord tell you
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, 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?
Cuz if life is an uphill battle, 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? Everybody in a #1 draft pick Most of us
aint 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
Chorus
I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both us
Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us
Verse 2
I can feel your pain, I can feel your struggle 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
So every single time that they play this song You can say that, "that's
what Bobby Ray wrote for us" When his eyes 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 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 have
molded us
Bridge
And if life hadn't chosen us, sometimes I wonder
Where I would have wound up Cuz if it was up to me, I would make a new
blueprint Then build it from the ground up Hey, but if its 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
Chorus
I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both us
Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us
