I wish I was strong
enough to lift not one but both 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 do for rent
And the grass so green
on the other side
Make a nigga wanna run
straight through the fence
We're never freezed
by two hundred 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
Cause it even really matter
Cause the flight is a up hill battle
But y'all tryna climb
with the same ol' ladder
In the same boat
with the same ol' battle
Why so shallow
I'm just asking
What's the pattern setting 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 rock
Do it one time
for the underdogs
Sincerely yours from one of yours
I wish I was strong
enough to lift not one but both 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
been levitating so low
That you could drown in a bubble
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 upon
your knees get so deep
And you feel like
you're just another person
Getting lost in the crowd
where your partner no please
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 a chance to us
These are the things
that've molded us
And if life hadn't chosen us
Sometimes I wonder
where woulda wind up
Cause if it was up to me
I'd make a new blueprint
Feel better from the ground up hey
But if it's all for one
and one for all
Then maybe one day
we all can rock
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 us
Some day I will be strong
enough to lift not one
but both of us
