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
